[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
I've been searching for the same answer for weeks, since I have an unlocked T-Mo model on AT&T and am missing bands I need. I've tried everything I know, different radios, the AT&T RUU, lots of cursing, and they will not enable.

If you want to receive official OTA's, and only have root, you could root it with TowelRoot or WeakSauce. You do not need S-Off or an unlocked bootloader. For the OTA to install properly, you can't have a custom recovery installed.

So you now have two options. Just root it, and be able to receive OTA (will remove root, and need to be rooted again), or you could convert it to the European version and get those OTA's

To convert it you would have to change the CID to match the European version, and also flash a stock recovery and ROM for that model. You can refer to this thread for the ROM and Recovery. Read through it to find the European versions CID and the links for the ROM and Recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatim:
I didn't get you.

*Why will converting to a European version help?

*If I root without unlocking, I will still recieve OTA updates but they will reset root everytime. I will then need to root again. Correct? How often are the OTA?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
Well lets say I wanted to turn my T-Mo model into an AT&T model, I could either SuperCID and flash the AT&T RUU, or change the CID to match AT&T, flash its ROM and Recovery, and then I will get OTAs from AT&T. People are converting their models into GPE, Dev edition, From Euro to AT&T, etc.

But it sounds like you have a stock unbranded version of Sense already, so if you just want root, then only go with root, and yes, an OTA will almost always unroot it, and require you to root it again. You could also use SuperSU's survival mode, and it will most likely keep root.

I'm guessing you have 4.4.2 already, so I wouldn't expect an OTA until 4.4.4
[HTC Droid DNA] pjfry808:
It looks like all of the dlx KK ROMs are based on m7 and m8 rather than the latest 4.4.x dlx OTA. The only OTA based ROMs I see are rooted stock and MicroMod's SuperStock. None of these has a great deal of customization built in yet. Is anyone working on a full SuperStock ROM or a Viper based on the official dlx OTA?
[HTC Droid DNA] clvnptl:
im not really sure. The OTA I thought was just firmware. Which is not part of the rom. As far as roms, i see AOSP 4.4.4 and Sense6 4.4.2, but as you mentioned, the sense roms are ports from m7 or m8. One difference is that the 4.4.2 for dna is still with sense 5.5, maybe noone wants that.

The older viperDNA was based on the 4.2.2 ota 3.06.605.4 so thats something.

My HTC one x running cyanogen mod kitkat 4.4

whenever i connect my phone my computer is unable to recognise the device

I've tried everything uninstalled the drivers but nothing works

the device is not recognised in fastboot mode also.

pls help me resolve this issue.
[HTC One X] Khizar Amin:
try using a different usb cable. reinstall drivers, a genuine htc usb cable should work. try this as well (worked for me): http://adbdriver.com/downloads/

also in your device manager, check if there is "android phone" with yellow triangle. right click it and update driver manually
[HTC One X] okhughes:
If reinstalling drivers fails, and you need to get to stuff stored on it, you could try and mount the storage in your recovery (CWM or TWRP) and get stuff off.

[Sony Xperia L] vmfj90:
I have some contacts, not many...

but is there any way to transfer contacts from internal storage to SIM card?

save contacts on the SIM card, if I need to format the mobile...

PS: Sorry for my english!
[Sony Xperia L] david pro:
Instead of that you can first backup all contacts!

Then in internal storage Copy the PIM folder to external SD!

Now, your contacts are backed up!

Now, you can format your phone!

Now, after installing a new ROM, you should copy the PIM folder from External SD to internal storage!

And, then restore your contacts from internal SD!:highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
I just came across 2 Monoprice screen protectors and an Otterbox Defender case with holster for my Galaxy Nexus (that I sold back in January). The inner plastic on the case is missing the screen protector, and the thin edges of the slots (part of the tabs/slots that hold the front and back together) are broken, but the holster and silicone are brand new (replacement parts received from Otterbox).

I hate to throw this stuff away, so I'd like to send it to the someone willing to pay the $5.25 shipping costs for anywhere I can send USPS Priority Mail (small flat rate box, shipping purchased online). I know the screen protectors aren't worth that, but I'm hoping someone can make use of the Otterbox parts.

Contact me via PM if you're interested.

What is wrong? D:

Thats what I have done:

Unlock bootloader with Asus program

Root

Installed CWM recovery and changed it to TWRP

Backup

Flashed Cyanogenmod, it boots fine but WiFi and camera doesnt work

No problem man.

Download http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579270. This is the twrp file. fastboot flash that.

Next, download https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...ip&dluid=343be2b9-36d2-4262-8978-633fbd9b8565. This is the latest pacman ROM. Its pretty stable for me. If you would like a custom kernel, let me know.

You will also need gapps. Find and download a gapps package from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942.

Put both gapps and pacman ROM on your tablet or an sdcard to put in your tablet. Perform a wipe in your new twrp recovery and then install ROM and then install gapps(don't reboot between installs). Should be good to go after that.

[Omni Q&A] rbanavara:
Hi I have installed omniROM on my galaxy R and from instructions, I read that to get root access, I have to install superSU. Also I am aware that "su" binary is already installed. Somewhere I read that having su withou superSU, which controls su access would be a security issue, as apps can invoke su without control.

Now is this true OR is there some mechanism on omniROM which prevents apps from invoking su. I donot need root access for my day to day activity and would prefer not to install superSU. What are the implications of this.
[Omni Q&A] PinoDG:
In omnirom supersu is in setting

Inviato dal mio Nexus 7 2013 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Omni Q&A] Pons:
Also, [FAQ] Omni FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING

In short, yes it is advisable (if you don't have it, as noted above). I'd recommend flashing it just to have the update if you're not 100% up to date (latest SuperSU is 2.01 as of this post).
[Omni Q&A] rbanavara:
Decided not to install superSU

As I mentioned, I dont need root access (but was worried with having only SU and not having superSU to control access). I have decided not to install superSU (ie, not to root). I have also moved the su binary from /system/xbin/su to /preload directory from the recovery adb shell(I can move that back in furure if decide I need root). The reasons for my decision are following reasons:

1. The omniROM install wiki says install of superSU / rooting is optional

2. The su binary itself has been written in a way which restricts access only to root OR shell user (link):

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct passwd *pw;
int uid, gid, myuid;

/* Until we have something better, only root and the shell can use su. */
myuid = getuid();
if (myuid != AID_ROOT && myuid != AID_SHELL) {
fprintf(stderr,"su: uid %d not allowed to su\n", myuid);
return 1;
}
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Yeah, the included AOSP su binary is fairly limited. There are potential ways it could be abused though, so going forward we're looking into removing the remaining traces of su, making alternate packages like SuperSU the primary method for root access.

(Among other things, many apps merely look for the presence of an su binary and not for whether it's functional when doing root checks. I hate such apps, but some people sometimes need to live with them, like many corporate users.)

After replacing the screen I noticed that a horizontal strip at the bottom of the phone (above the soft keys) is not responding to touch at all. I did a factory reset on the phone and I'm still having this issue. I'm inclined to believe it is a hardware issue.

Use a multitouch test app to be sure that this region is not responsive. If so, than this is highly a hardware issue. Nothing you can do on software side.

What I also have in mind is that you may have installed the screen and the digitizer improperly.

This is for any one who have lost their 2g signals/low signal/ or having just 3g signals

I had this problem after flashing VDT rom and lost my 2g signals and i tried what not i even tried to destroy my EFS partition, repair shops couldn't fix it even i got hopeless that my phone will ever work and was using my phone as PMP for a month but finally today i flashed Ice cream sandwich KDZ and i got my phone into working condition again.... have strong 2g + 3g signals

now the solution is pretty simple

Uninstall everything related to LG e.g. drivers b2c tool everything restart your Computer

1. you need to install latest drivers

2. Download kds flash tool (refer to this post for drivers and flashtool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797190)

3. Download Ice cream Sandwich version for your phone

4. "This is important" Select CDMA

5. Select your kdz file

6. Select cs_emergency

7. Finally click on CSE Flash (it will flash and hard reset your phone)

8. Don't change country or language

9. After extraction you might get error "Unable to connects to server try later" ignore it, process will continue under it,

10. Your phone will restart and boot into ice cream sandwich.. now put in your sim and restart phone again and Voila you got your signals back

View attachment 2831117

why this works ?? because icecream sandwich had a different partition scheme as compared to 4.1 jellybean onward, so it Formatted my EFS and it re partitions the whole storage if you are lucky you might recover your IMEI too stored somwhere in you EFS.. IF you recover your IMEI please share and help others... CHEERS!!!!!
