There are simply too many answer for your question. Please be more specific and give more detail. Are you using win7? Win8? Have you install proper driver into your pc? Is your rom stock? If not, maybe you need to setup usb connection in setting>storage. Or else maybe that rom is having issue with mtp. Lastly are you sure your usb cable in good condition? Sometimes even good cable can be seen faulty because of bad connection like dust accumulation, etc.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ScarletAzure:
Some things to be checked:

Have you try using another cable data?

Have you install the proper driver for XSola in the PC?

Have you try to connect in MSC mode?

Hope this helps :D

Hi

my mobile ISC 4 (original Rom) (rooted)

all drivers installed and uninstalled many times without any change (mobile is not recognized by PC even in flash mode)

I have tried different cables (still not working), where same cables are working with my Samsung tab

different OS 7 and XP and PC's (not working).

also tired to reset mobile phone (not working)

my question now how I can install a new ROM without Cable. where CWM is not installed :(

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kopter3161:
Hmm thats weird. Im sorry I cannot help you any further. And its impossible to flash any rom without recovery and flashmode afaik. Can you get into fastboot?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] medoeng:
thanks mate,

I have tried everything possible, but still not working.

now looking for installing new ROM without USB

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] medoeng:

I wonder if anyone here can help me.
[General Questions and Answers] samhell:
Hey Guys!

I tried to put the whole Question in the Title, but now the long form: ;)

As you may imagine, i got a MTK-Based Phone. An Octacore to be precise (Elephone P8). Now there isnt much development going on, so i thought of jumping on the Developement-Train, and begin with something easier.

I thought of bringing a few fixed apk's and workarounds for known Problems into the standard rom.

My Question is:

So i have now a rar, which i have to extract, Open in Flashtool, load the Scatterfile and im ready to flash my Phone. Fine with that, but in the rar are only img-files i cant edit.

(i found a ext4-edit-tool for img-files here on xda, but its not functioning at all.)

But there is a P8update.zip on needrom, someone was keen enough to convert the rar-image into a zip-image, which is flashable through recovery, and the best is: i can just open the zip, and i can edit everything i want!

But how did he do it?

The Rom is JB, and i have KitKat installed and i want to edit a KitKat-Rom.

So how can i convert the rar-kind of rom to the easy editable zip-kind of rom?

Or am i understanding this completely wrong?

Thanks in Advance for any kind Tip youre sure going to give :)

Greetings from Berlin,

a clueless guy.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolobacci:
I've noticed that my phone was rebooting and I was looking for a pattern. After a few reboots I find out it happens when there's an notification or trying to update an app in Google play. So, the workaround is to disable auto update apps and notifications of available updates too.

Now it's running rock solid, but this problem makes me sad.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
Stock firmware or rooted/custom? Either way you should consider a factory reset
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Yup, as said above or if that doesn`t help reflash the stock/custom rom with Odin/recovery and then data factory reset.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolobacci:
Stock

Yes, I did it twice but the problem persists :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Did you try clearing the Google Play and Google Play Services data in settings/apps/all apps and reboot and try again?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
There is a small chance that you might have a defective device. If you can demonstrate to the manufacturer that factory reset does not solve your problems, you can get it fixed/replaced. Good luck guy
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolobacci:
Yes and no good at all. Same thing happening.

Maybe, but I have triggered the knoxx already rooting for the first time.

[Themer General Discussion] cjohnson76:
So I have been using Next Launcher for three years. I love themes and creating my own UI. I hide docs and create themes that are almost completely free of standard icons. To do this I use Zooper Widget 4x4 (or any other that I extend from top to bottom and side to side. I fill the entire screen and as I said even hide the dock as well as the status bar. Well the other day as I was working on an existing one the 4x4 widget (largest widget available) stopped filling the screen. Even when I go to resize, it will not allow me to completely fill the screen.

I have tried the following to fix:

Reboot (sim card removed)

Uninstalled Next Launcher (and zooper) then re installed.

Tried other launchers (they all fixed the problem however I need Next as it is the only launcher I am aware of that allows you to literally place icons anywhere with ZERO grid). I even used Next Light and again, the problem was gone. Problem here, after the trial period you can no longer "hide Dock".

I am certain it is a Next Launcher issue but have yet to fix it. Im wondering...

Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any ideas and or does anyone know of any other launchers with the same freedoms?

Attached is a photo of my latest UI as an example as to why I need complete icon placement freedom as well as no boarders.

Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZPaul2Fresh8:
I know I have a bootloader that's unlockable but I'm reading some strange stuff about recoveries on this phone.

Is there a reoccurring recovery installation needed after installing a ROM every time? Does that only apply to locked bootloaders?

I was trying to install TWRP since I favor that one over CWM but when trying to install it from their Google Play App it says the image is missing and redirects me to another link which pretty much stays at the 0% progress...

On previous phones I've had things seemed a bit easier (Note3, GS4, Note) or maybe I'm just to cautious since the phone is so new... Anyway I'd appreciate any help on the matters.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Ok so with xperias they do not have a native partition for the recovery

This means that they have to be stored within a custom kernel (if your bootloader is unlockable) or your system if your bootloader isnt unlockable

Recovery installer scripts that work on locked bootloaders usualy put the recovery file within your system hence why when flashing a custom rom it disapears

Flashing a custom kernel (with a unlocked bootloader) alows you to freely flash custom roms as the recovery is a part of the kernel and not the system
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Ah so if I unlock my bootloader and if I keep the same modified kernel then I'll be OK. But I don't know too many ROMs that are going to come without a kernel...

Probably could edit the install script to skip kernel writes...?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
If you unlock your bootloader

Install a kernel that contains a recovery

Then yes your recovery stays after a rom flash

Stock based roms should not come with a kernel

Non stock based roms have to come with a kernel (usualy contain recovery anyway)

Your warrenty is void unlocking your bootloader however you can relock

I recomend you read up about bootloader unlocking

Hi.

I wondered if the newest version of ART in Android L can be brought to the Nexus 4 with a flashable zip?

Not even asking for a zip, but if someone tells me the libraries needed I could test it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidnoit22:
They didn't changed anything in ART? I mean underhood changes?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
They changed a lot. You might have the changes if you run a rom based on the latest AOSP master though.

does the g3 have any sort of tamper flag like knox on samsung , which voids warranty when rooting?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre10c:
so the lg G3 has any sort of tamper flag implemented?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Well, I used towelroot to root the G3. It's pretty non-intrusive and very simple to use. No reboots required. Just install the APK and click a button.

Your bootloader stays intact and so does the stock recovery. If a simple root is all you want, try towelroot. You just need a factory reset to remove root.

And yes.. the S5 users are using it to root their devices without tampering the Knox bit. Based on this info, I would say it's pretty safe :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nap007:
No way to unroot towelrooted device without hard reset?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Is the factory reset enough to make the phone accept OTA's? I can't see why it wouldn't be (unless there is a tampered flag) however some people on here have said refreshing stock rom is the only way to do it.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
I used towel root on my LG G Pro 2 to change my build prop so that I could install and run skygo. I performed a full unroot with supersSU Pro and surprisingly found that this did not satisfy skygo and it still flagged up as rooted (superSU Pro has always worked for me previously with other root processes).

I repeated the root process and I found some additional towel root files in system xbin which I removed then ran unroot with supersSU Pro and was then able to run skygo successfully. :)

I hope this is relevant to the g3 as I intend to buy a 32gb version but would like to have skygo on this. For the first time in my life, I am not charging in head first. I am holding back on my purchase and reading everything about it first. :)

Not sure I can keep this up for much longer though. :p

This seems completely noobish to even have to ask the question, but my wife just got this phone after upgrading from an iFail 4. While trying out the phone, we noticed "slide to answer" doesn't seem to work too well. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution (something that doesn't involve swapping to a better ROM on a week old phone)?
[AT&T LG G2] jdk2:
On the stock firmware, lifting the phone to your ear will answer a call. The proximity sensor takes care of it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poohizm:
First let me apologize for my ignorance.

I have an MDA PRo that was updated with an I-mate ROM.

My keyboard is the german QWERTZ but the ROM is in english.

I wouldn't be bothered if only had to adjust to typing the z for y and the y for z but other characters are out of place.

I have searched threads about this and have I found information about changing the registry. I have gone into my registry but I am not sure how to make the changes.

Can anyone be so kind as to help me to change the registry?

Thank you so much

I stole this from the wiki, as I'm poking around and editing it.

Change slide-out keyboard layout

If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...

For US layout (QWERTY):

HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1033 (DWORD decimal)

For German layout (QWERTZ):

HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1031 (DWORD decimal)

For French layout (AZERTY):

HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (DWORD decimal)

For other codes, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx

If you need to know how to implement any of this, let me know.

[HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER]

To implement this, you will need a registry editor. I like Resco's the best. It is not free, but it does have a 14-day trial, so you can make a number of quick, functional changes to your phone.

If you need a walkthrough, I'll be happy to help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ideologist:
Whoops. Can someone delete the first one? >_> Didn't realize I posted twice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poohizm:
Walk through

Thank you so much for your response.

I loaded Resco and went to the registry.

I found - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd

but in that folder there is no "Locale" .

I am not sure what to do from here.

Please walk me through it. This is much appreciated.

Thanks again,

Inger
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ideologist:
Hmm.

When you are in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd folder, create a new value:

Menu > New >

D

WORD Value

Name

Locale

DWORD Data

1031

Once you do that, close everything, and restart your phone. Let me know. (:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poohizm:
Ok I did that but it didn't work :( .

Thanks so much though.

Do you have any suggestions?

I've done pretty much everything. I uninstalled kies and re installed it uninstalled the drivers and installed older ones. Rebooted and disconnected from the internet. O I also installed XP that didn't work so I re installed 7. Put in a few secret codes *#0808# .... I even booted into kali linux that didn't work worth a damn either. I even installed GMTP in terminal. I've tried different usb ports and I am using the stock USB cable that this phone came with.

Try a different data cable. They do go bad, much more easily than most people think.

A Minor Bug Report, Nav Bar Disappear at 180 degree rotation

Hi, first of all thanks for this such great ROM.

I tried many Android Custom ROM for Tablet Z, most of them are missing many feature.

I notice that, when I rotate the tablet 180 degree , the nav bar is disappear, the other 3 orientation has no this issue.

I re-enable the nav bar, this issue is not solved.

Any solution?

The reason why I rotate it 180 degree, is because of I want to charge the tablet while working on it, it get stuck, I use a stand (bought) to hold the tablet, so i need to rotate it like that.

But this ROM is based on OMNI, not CM :confused:

I have read that the audio bug is due to kernel issues. It does not happen with the official Sony ROMs. Sony has recently released the source code for their kernel - so there may be a chance someone in the Omni or CM teams will use it to fix the problem :fingers-crossed:
