[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkiieh:
I'm making this thread so we can all put our heads together to figure out what we can do, what ways there are to get back to stock.. Just things people have done to restore back to stock.

Everyone having this issue people post here please as it will keep the Q&A thread clean.

At the moment I am encounter the issue, although I am not in a bootloop. I had a Official Firmware 4.4.2 installed that had been updated to 4.4.4.

Everything was working properly, but I flashed the latest CM11 Nightly. I had forgotten to backup my stock.

When I try to restore a stock firmware it Fails on partition so I didn't Want to chance flashing anything else in case I bricked my phone

At the moment my phones living off a CM11 TWRP backup which isn't ideal :/
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBurner:
I can share a 4.4.2 cmw backup but my net is slow as fk. I successfully downgraded using cmw backup.I think there is some problem with the mount points of the stock . I had this prob of not able to format or write using recovery and fastboot in my Chinese s4 clone but I formatted all partitions using the flash tool that I had and than I was able to flash ROM. It occurred because I had given wrong mount points in the update script of the ROM that I had previously flashed
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkiieh:
Would a twrp backup work the same?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBurner:
It should

I don't remember hearing a echo before KitKat. Maybe the radio isn't as good? It doesn't happen all the time. Wife's HTC M7 goes in and out when she talks on her phone. Not sure if somehow the issues are tower related or something with both of our phones?
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
Guess I'm the only one. I might try a reset but probably won't help. Also having FC's on apps. Both after KitKat.
[LG G Flex] shwnr11:
No your not. I get it also every so often. But very far apart.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
My echo happens everyday. I told my mom that I was getting a echo and she's like I don't have one. LoL. I told her it's on my end and got off the phone.
[LG G Flex] rsohne:
I get echo with T-Mobile and wifi calling. My fix has been to turn the volume to about 1/4 and it stops.
[LG G Flex] Koroz:
Yup

Yup. I don't know if it happened on 4.2.2 or not, I got the phone, upgraded as soon as I opened it to 4.4.2 (v7 Sprint) and rooted, changed the audio to Dolby installed the viper audio app and made a call. It echoed bad. So, because I like to flash things (hubba hubba) I decided to flash back to stock 4.2.2, but like a retarded honey badger who doesn't give a ...., I forgot to test the call quality before I accepted the update back to 4.4.2.

So, most definitely happens on my phone, both with WiFi calling on or normal calling mode while using KK.
[LG G Flex] shwnr11:
My Volume is blasting loud also. Usually it sounds as if the other person has me on speaker phone and I'm hearing my self.

echo on Google Hangouts voip call

When I make a Google Hangouts voip call with my LG G Flex, or answer an incoming call with Google Hangouts on the LG G Flex, the other party says the echo is unbearable. I actually cannot hear it, but they say it is terrible. It's too bad. I like using Google Hangouts for calls when I'm outside of cell coverage, but Hangouts is a no go for me with the Flex.

[HTC One S] frantisek.nesveda:
Hi,

yesterday I bought a HTC One S, and I've got a little problem with the battery indicator. On every ROM I try the battery always shows 100%, and it drops to 96% just before it dies from a drained battery. So far I've tried CM11, PA, Viper and Liberty-ROM and every one of them had the same problem. The only place I can see a correct battery level is in TWRP.

I bought this as an used phone and it was already rooted, with S-OFF and SuperCID ( :( ). The ROM was an old build of Viper based on Jellybean 4.1.2 and Sense 4+, where the battery indicator was also showing correct percentage. The only thing I did was to update hboot to 2.15, update recovery and install new ROMs.

Did something similar happen to anyone else? Do you possibly have some solution?

Thanks

František Nesveda
[HTC One S] frantisek.nesveda:
Well, the trick to solve this was to charge the phone to 100% while it was turned off. I still don't know what caused this, though.
[HTC One S] null0seven:
it's somehow, like a reset.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheyden:
I'm looking for a toggle mod that like those 23 toggles for 4.1.2 but then for kitkat 4.4.2 TW rom.

Especially I'm interested in the 2g/3g toggle and the torch toggle.

I have been searching everywhere but couldn't find anything about it.

Hope there is somethings like this for kitkat

If you don't agree ... stop reading and move on...

Background: Our phone has access to so much personal information that its scary if it fell into wrong hands. The only way to fix this is to encrypt phone. I did lot of research and here is a working solution

that works for me - try at your risk

.

Download Links:

a) Tested with ROM Stock 4.4.4 NH7 Galaxy S4 M919/Jfltetmo by [MENTION=5580710]ShinySide[/MENTION]

b) Tested with ROM |ROM|★KANGAKAT★|►KTU84P◄|4.4.4|Xposed|►8◄|6.26.14 by [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

c) stock recovery AT&T S4 works with M919

d) Philz/CWM custom recovery

Encrypting with custom rom

1) Assume you are on custom recovery. - Backup everything first. Create a nandroid backup

2) Do a full wipe and install one of the two roms linked above (I have tested with few other roms ... none worked). Start the phone and set it up the way you want. Install all apps etc.

3) ODIN Stock recovery. See #c under download above. Its AT&T stock recovery but works for me. You need to know how to ODIN - find out. Doing this wrong will permanently damage your phone

4) Start your phone and turn on encryption. You will need to set lock type = password and will need to connect to charger and have 80% charge.

- Phone will do blank and stay blank for 20-30 minutes. Do not do anything. Encryption is happening behind the scenes.

- You might have to do this twice or thrice if it did not encrypt first time. For me the phone went blank first time and after 25 minutes it restarted but device was not encrypted. I redid the same steps and worked second time.

- If you interrupt the encryption process (battery pull or power up) you will see error message (encryption failed, reset device)

5) If all goes well you now have a password protected encrypted phone with custom rom!!! Check in Settings -> Security

6) You may install custom recovery ... but I don't see the point because you will need stock recovery to decrypt

To install another ROM

1) Reboot into stock recovery, then wipe data and cache (this removes encryption).

2) install your recovery of choice and install ROM using recovery. Philz/CWM

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I don't know if it matters too much or not, but the stock recovery you linked to is for the AT&T S4. A good rule of thumb is to never use Odin to flash anything not specifically for your particular device... In this case the M919.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnewsgrp:
I have tested stock recovery on M919 .. it works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] p-hil:
Honestly im surprised its not talked about more since there is a big push for personal privacy when it comes to data. Encryption really is a pain in the ass to work with on android. Figuring out how to switch or update custom roms while encrypted will drive you insane. The easiest way is to just odin back to stock and start over, but that requires a computer anytime you need to flash anything.

I recently was trying out one of the 4.4.4 GPE roms and turned on encryption. It worked great until i started missing touchwiz and wanted to go back to HyperDrive TW. So the journey began...

First of all, i backed up everything to external storage since i knew everything on the internal storage would have to be wiped. I loaded the phone into recovery mode (using TWRP) and tried wiping, but all i got was a bunch of "Failed to mount" errors. Fine. Got the same error when trying to factory reset or wiping /system, /data, /cache, and anything else. Tried formatting to different file systems and then formatting back to the original but no luck. Fixing permissions didnt help. I just kept trying everything available multiple times.

Eventually it started wiping everything except the /data mount. Well... At least i could install new custom roms. Im not sure exactly what did it because i was just throwing everything at it. Anyways I got it to install, and booted into it. Nope.

Now it was saying I needed the password to decrypt the internal storage. It would detect wrong passwords fine, but as soon as i put the correct password in, it would allow me in, show the green android encryption picture, then blank screen. I thought it was just decrypting and setting up my rom but after a few hours my screen was still black and nothing was happening. Pulled battery and went back to TWRP.

I started wiping everything again and again and tried doing everything i could to wipe everything on the internal storage. Again, not sure what did it, but eventually got it all cleaned up and got a new rom installed and could boot into it.

The whole process probably took about 6-7 hours...

I dont even want to enable encryption on the new rom...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnewsgrp:
Yeah Encryption does not seem to work on TWZ roms. I tried on G Eye without luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnewsgrp:
I have updated op. Please check
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] POQbum:
Encryption will slow down your phone quite a bit. More battery usage + more CPU usage + slower phone = not worth it unless you've got some very private stuff you don't want being shared. Otherwise, 3rd party apps that lock a lot of files, can encrypt certain files, and hide others will do the trick perfectly well.'

Not trying to bash fully encrypting your phone, but I've tried it before and although I am very pro privacy, I had to eventually take it off due to all the extra hassle it created.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnewsgrp:
Don't know about slowing down. I am not seeing it. I feel differently about security.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
So last night, I turned off WiFi and location, and Google plus had a freaking 10 hour wakelock (didn't take much battery, we have a nice soc, didn't notice actually)

Why would that happen?

The weird thing is that it didn't actually affect battery life, it is just weird... (good cpu not using any battery when at lowest frequency and screen off)

I'm running stock retailEU xt1032 on Asian xt1033 dual sim (Romania), bootloader locked, not rooted, nothing. I don't even use G+...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
Android os and Android system also have weird wakelocks... I don't have root, so I can't get to the root of the problem (pun not intended) because of Google's restrictions on kitkat...

G+ photo auto backup is disabled.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAMGDroidFan:
Perhaps Auto-Sync or Google+ notifications might be issue.

I've disabled notifications of apps those I don't use and really my battery life is amazing!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
Yeah, maybe, but wifi and data were off... Gingerbread did a good job going to sleep when they were off, now it doesn't seem like it... (maybe trying to sell my data over no connection? Who knows...)

Okay, so if I Odin the NF1 firmware and then reroot and install a custom recovery and then restore a nandroid backup of CM11(from NB4 baseband) would I still have NF1 baseband version or would flashing the nandroid cause a soft brick?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kalm_Traveler:
You can only update the modem with Odin. Flashing your nandroid zip will not affect it any which way.

I have been running CM11 for a month now, and just flashed the NF1 modem separately through Odin last night - didn't have to backup anything and I am now on the NF1 baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Liquorsicc92:

Thank you for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jonnyaces187:
You said download triangle away so Odin will flash correctly. You do this before flashing the modem? I am researching this since I am still on Nb4 and would like to update modem. I've never updated a modem. I'm on aosp ROM 4.4.4 Nb4 I really want NF1 but nervous about Odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kalm_Traveler:
Yeah, you run triangle away, then reboot into download mode and flash just the modem file with Odin.

Piece of cake, nothing to be scared of.

I couldn't find a solution too specific to my phone, but was mostly just wondering, Does anyone know if the newest CF-auto-root is compatible with a Canadian SGH-I337M; Ver 4.4.2; Baseband VLUFNE1 on the MTS network? if so, where is a safe download source of the .tar?

And if not if there is anything that is compatible? Keep in mind im not looking to flash custom roms, i essentially want root to use rooted apps and all the devince freedom that comes with it. essentially a basic root. Also Ive previously rooted my S2 and an old motodroid so theres no need to review the rooting process ive got that down.

I would make sure you have the right drivers installed on the pc. After they're installed which takes some time, put the phone into download mode without Odin running, connect to the computer and let the pc install the drivers. If the pc say "drivers installed successfully" it should recognize the phone and you can continue. Also make sure there are no other drivers interfering and make sure kies isn't running in the background if you have it. Hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gorelow:
well when i can get odin to even recognize the devce, it is blue under idcom. shouldn't it be a big yellow box? i think this is a driver issue but ive tried it on two laptops. ive deleted the drivers and reinstalled three times.

Maybe try a different version of odin. I normally use 1.85 and yes it is normally a yellow box and has the com number in it.

As a side note, I just got this GS4 replacement a few weeks ago. I installed DANVDH without even booting the phone into stock Touchwiz once. Everytime I turn the phone on it says on the top left corner in red letters KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and in yellow it says SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL
