Hi ,

Maybe is the power button....they go bad often
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
For me it seems that you have battery problem... open the back cover, and check battery serial number... if it begins with BD, you shall call Samsung Customer Service requesting replacement.

By the way: does the phone behave in same manner while connected to charger?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielnb09:
Yes the phone behave in same manner while connected in charger

And my battery serial number begins with YS

My Phone its the I9505 with CHAOS ROM Kit Kat 4.4.2, I was using this ROM since May, I never any problem with this device, I bought it more than a Year ago.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Hmm... most likely hardware fault. Because of the similar in each case time, I'd say that you have faulty element, which heats up, and then disconnects/causes disconnection of power.

Sad to say, but it is likely that you'll have to go to service.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mud3:
just installed and everything seems to be working well, install was successful... except one odd issue. i'm assuming it's due to something i selected by accident during install or some other error on my part. everything is backwards. as in if there are two buttons next to each other selecting the opposite one i want to selects what i'm trying to select. if there is only one button then pressing the opposite side of the screen in about the same area works.

i'm assuming i should just re install the rom. but perhaps i need to revert to an earlier bootloader too and start from scratch? i don't know, that's why i'm here... also wondering if anyone can pinpoint what caused said issue so it doesn't occur again.

EDIT: looking over things i noticed something called reversed axis, figured this is probably what caused the issue. I ran the install again after doing another wipe and everything seems normal now. must have hit that option by accident the first time...

[HTC Desire 601] groverXIII:
Now that we have our own specific forum, would it be plausible to get some sort of step-by-step guide on how to go about installing the KitKat OTA if you're rooted? In browsing through the megathread from before, I get the impression that I will need to flash the stock recovery and relock my bootloader, then unlock once again once I've updated, but the thread itself is a bit daunting and the advice is pretty well scattered amid the various conversations there. Can we get some sort of consolidated guide from someone more knowledgeable than myself?

(Thank you in advance, by the way. I know I will be highly appreciative.)
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
This is what I followed, though you are going to lose data...
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Kit Kat OTA

That seems really complicated and sort of risky. Can't we just restore stock recovery and boot. Relock boot loader. And then install the ota as downloaded.
[HTC Desire 601] groverXIII:
That's what I was wondering. I'm alright with re-rooting afterward (and after that I'm going S-OFF so I can use Viper4Android).

On a side note, has anyone noticed higher battery consumption with KitKat? My wife (who is unrooted and generally doesn't mess with her phone) updated and her battery died twice yesterday with no real increase in usage.
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Get s-off first then update kk bec if things go wrong during the update u can downgrade hboot. With s-on u cant downgrade hboot. U get stuck and theres no way to fix ur device. Ive seen this happen to somebody
[HTC Desire 601] groverXIII:
Good to know. Got a link to how to get S-OFF that would prevent me from searching through the massive thread?
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Read the instructions http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ then download rumrunner 0.5.0 under "htc universal downloads" and run it as administrator
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
The only thing I changed on my phone was gain root, unlock bootloader and flash Philz Touch cwm recovery. I haven't gotten s-off or changed H-boot. I don't want to change anything else if I don't have to. Is there anyway to get the update. I don't care if I lose root.
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
U should get s-off then flash stock recovery, unroot ur device and relock the bootloader then update kk by tapping "system updates" in settings or run the ruu to get everything back to stock. S-off wont be affected
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Alright I'll try that when I get home and let you know how it goes. Thanks a bunch.
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Alright. So it didn't work. It works fine at first but at about 40% through the update it shows a red exclamation mark inside a red triangle on the phone. I unrooted and flashed the stock recovery from the development thread on the new forum. The jelly bean one. And relocked the

Bootloader. Ugh. This is really frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to get rid of s-off as well. That's fine if I do.
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Did u delete the hcheck file when u got s-off?
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
So I did not. Can you walk me through that please
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Ok u didnt. Make sure everything is stock. Im not sure why its stuck at 40%

Im not sure what u need to do. Somebody knows
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Do you think running the RUU will help?
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Since u r using kk, ruu is for jb but u can downgrade to jb hboot to run the ruu
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Ok so unlock bootloader, download jb hboot, put it in the folder with the fastboot files, and flash with "fastboot flash boot XXXX.img" correct? Then relock boot loader. Or do I do something before relocking
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Thats correct then run the ruu then flash the kk ota manually to see if it helps. I suggest that u read posts from page 268-269 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528645
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
I tried to flash it but it failed everytime. Maybe I have a bad file. Is there one anyone knows is perfect. I got the hboot from the development post in the forum.
[HTC Desire 601] TehFlash:
Do you have S-OFF on the device? If you already updated your HBOOT without S-OFF you're stuck on the KK HBOOT and have to follow the guide he posted on the first page of this thread.

Yes he does
[HTC Desire 601] TehFlash:

If he has S-OFF then just download this ZIP file and put it on the root of your SD card and reboot into HBOOT and it should downgrade you to JB HBOOT.

EDIT: That ZIP is for Zara_CL (CDMA) variant of the Desire 601

OK so im back down to JB Hboot and all. do i try the ota now or do i do something else
[HTC Desire 601] TehFlash:
Run the RUU you said you had earlier to get back to stock JB, and then run the OTA from the phone.
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Ok so the RUU doesn't want to run for some reason on my pc. Even running as admin. Is there anything else I can do to get back to stock JB
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Make sure u get into fastboot mode and run the ruu
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Do I have to unlock the bootloader to use the RUU
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
No it has to be locked or relocked and you need stock recovery also if my memory serves me correct.

[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Have you tried using the InsertCoin rom?

Another option is the zara_cl RUU. Check to see if the released RUU has the same modem version as your carrier. You'll need to flash the firewater hboot to get the RUU to run or it'll complain its too new of a version.
[HTC Desire 601] squidbutt:
I was just scouring the threads looking for an ruu. I thought about ic but I posted in that thread and they said I have to be on 4.4.2 and I'm at 4.2.2. Do you possibly have links for the Firewater and the ruu?
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
http://firewater-soff.com/hboot-downloads/

Looks like the RUU is for Sprint, I dunno much about cdma but I'd check their required frequencies and compare to your carrier

[HTC Desire 601] squidbutt:
I don't have s off. But my bootloader is unlocked I also was able to flash twrp for kit Kat.
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Wait. Are you s-off or not?

If your not s-off you'll have to find a zara_cl stock jb twrp backup or stock zip.

Also I don't think updating your hboot necessarily updates your partition layout does it? load twrp and connect to your phone with adb and post the output of

cat /proc/emmc
[HTC Desire 601] squidbutt:
I don't have s=off. And in the ic thread somebody confirmed I have the correct partition lay out. I DO have a unlocked bootloader and kitkat twrp installed with root.
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Your good to go on flashing InsertCoin for zara_cl then.

If you want back to stock the only zara_cl RUU is sprint, you'll have to s-off in order to run the RUU though and in order to s-off you need a working phone, so flash InsertCoin

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D5R:
Hello,

I have a Nexus 5 with root, stock rom, Franco Kernel and the custom recovery is TWRP. I accomplished this by following a guide around this forum, I know very little about Android. The Android version i'm running is the 4.4.2 and the phone keeps asking me to update do the newer version, however, when I try to do it, it takes me to the TWRP menu, and when I try to install it there, I get this error:

"/system/bin/thermal-engine-hh" has unexpected contents

E: Error executing updater binary in zip

Error flashing zip

How can I update the phone to the newer version of android? Can anyone help me? Thanks. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dechronic:
First thing, turn off mobile data. Your phone may try re-download it over and over again and use up your mobile data plan.

To install the ota via the ota update on the stock rom you will need to return to stock recovery and maybe stock kernel (not sure about this one).

NOTE: Before trying the below steps as I haven't tested them myself, please backup your ROM first. Better safe than sorry.

You can try installing the OTA updates manually from TWRP. You can find the links in the post - http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327.

If you are running 4.4.2 KRT16M you will need to download three updates.

1. KTU84M from KOT49H (4.4.2 update to 4.4.3)

2.KTU84P from KTU84M (4.4.3 update to 4.4.4)

Download them together and also put on a flashable zip of TWRP in the same location as it looks like it will reinstall the stock recovery.

You can even put on one of Franco kernel just in case too.

In TWRP select install zip and install number 1 first, then install 2. and finally install TWRP again. You should be updated to 4.4.4.

You can then install Franco kernel again just in case.

I hope this makes it easier.

EDIT: follow the link in the previous post as it has different scenarios and the steps needed.
[LG Optimus Black] nonlosoproprio:
Hello,

I'm new here and I've never done something like flashing a CustomROM.

I have a LG P970 with cracked screen and malfunctioning power button and USB port (they share the same connector which I [kind of] fixed).

My phone is currently running CynagenMod (one of the stable ones I think) but I don't know much more. (I didn't do anything to it, I got it like this)

I am looking forward to play with my phone while I wait for the OPO to be widely released.

My main idea was to put KitKat on it because I heard of the RAM optimization and so on, but I'm not sure if an inexperienced user like me should go that far, should I?

:D
[LG Optimus Black] nonlosoproprio:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Ro:
I described here my failed attempt to update to 4.4.4

I've restored the device back to stock 4.3 JRW66Y, not rooted, and the cache has been cleared.

But the system remembers that it had an OTA to 4.4.2. If I try to install it it hangs 'rebooting now'.

logcat says E/SystemUpdateService( 961): 'OTA package doesn't exist'

Can I, without rooting it, get the system to forget that it had this OTA so that it will download a new one?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
You could do a factory reset then it should be able to download the OTA but the factory reset will completely wipe your device and you need to have the correct bootloader for the OTA to work. What version bootloader do you have?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Ro:
I don't want to do a factory reset - I'd rather live with 4.3

The installed bootloader is 4.23. Although the installed system is JRW66Y the bootloader is from JRW66V (see this thread).

I wonder whether deleting Google Services Framework data will do the trick, but this may have undesirable consequences (see this thread).

Maybe I'll wait a bit and have another go at flashing 4.4.4 - see my OP; nobody has suggested yet why that didn't work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
Sorry! I should have received a notification email that you had responded. For whatever reason, lately, the notification works some of the time but not always. I had no idea the bootloaders had gotten so effing screwed up! I bought my daughter a 2012 N7 for Christmas and no wonder I had to let it do an OTA before it would let me flash a factory image. I vaguely remember getting a bootloader invalid state error. My brothers bone stock 2012 N7 is on 4.4.4 with no issues, he would have called me otherwise. ; )

If you don't want to do a factory reset you CAN flash the factory image without wiping your device, as long as your bootloader is already/still unlocked. If you modify the flash_all.bat, which is inside the factory image the userdata.img which wipes your device won't be flashed. If you open the flash_all.bat with whatever text editor you use (I use editpad lite or notepad) and remove the -w from the text it won't wipe your device. You will keep your settings, installed apps and storage. Extract the factory image into the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe, you should see these files if you have the 3G version;

bootloader-tilapia-4.23.img

flash-all.bat

flash-all.sh

flash-base.sh

image-nakasig-krt16s.zip

radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img

The 4.4 (krt16s) is the newest factory image that has the exact same bootloader as jwr66v. From there you can let it do some OTA's or flash the 4.4.4 factory image. If you need help getting the sdk installed or have any questions let me know, hopefully the notification will work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Ro:
I'm not sure whether these bootloaders are as screwed up and some posts suggests. A corrupt bootloader in one release - JRW66Y - I can understand, but I'd have thought it would get corrected. But no, and the next version is also suspect. There's something going on that I don't understand. Files with the same name but different MD5s - why is that? I don't understand the 'signatures' that people mention - is there are explanation of that? In the post above mine at the end of this thread (post #98) he refers to a signature mismatch. I got the same error (post #100) but no mention of signatures. And that bootloader failed to flash despite others presumably having been successful and it having the 'correct' MD5 (which the OP has changed in the original post!). All very odd.

I use Linux and flash the partitions individually rather than using their script, but essentially It's what I did with 4.4.4 KTU84 - at least I'm pretty sure I did.

I might try KRT16S instead of KTU84P - it's a smaller step. But it would be better to go straight to the latest.

But I'd like to understand what's happening before I try again - and nobody's suggesting anything on that other thread. I guess the world's move on from the Nexus 7 2012! But thanks for your full replies and suggestions.

Going back to the object of this thread, here must be some way to just tell GFS to forget that it once downloaded that OTA! Any suggestions on that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
Out of curiosity I looked at the bootloaders and even though they say v4.23 a crap load of them are different sizes. Just as an example jwr66v is 2,150,992 bytes and ktu84p is 2,151,068 bytes. Don't have a clue what is going on. I can tell you that the bootloaders on the N5 and 2013 N7 are the exact same size across os versions that state the same bootloader version number.

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

The vast majority of the time I also fastboot flash the images separately, I make a few too may changes in the system files to be able to use an OTA unless it's a very small one. I would flash the images for krt16s, bootloader, boot, system, recovery and radio. Then let it do a couple OTA's. 4.4.2 has a different size bootloader (4,005,632 bytes) and 4.3, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 have the same size (2,151,068 bytes).

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

I would think flashing the system image would clear it out but I guess not. If you were rooted you could run SDMaid and I think that would clear it. If you were rooted you could sideload the OTA and put it in /cache and see it that works. Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience running OTA updates, I usually have to fastboot flash images.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave_Ro:
Well, in the end I successfully reflashed it to 4.4 (KRT16S), erasing user data. It then did 3 OTAs to 4.4.4 in quick succession.

Along the way it said:

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

archive does not contain 'tos.img'

tos? ISTR that was on the Atari ST

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't need half these apps anyway - it's good to have a clearout!
