[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urvurm:
Honestly I feel that sometimes. I google the crap out of everything, but this subject gets pretty bloated with warez sites and their editorials that offer clickbait solutions that are usually just rehashed versions of something you've already done.

Taking some time to educate myself about the structure of android OS, bootloaders, and emergency mode helped me to understand a lot more about how this works.

This alephsecurity like proved very helpful. I imagine many other of their pages would be too. They have some published journals about exploiting vulnerabilities of various phones. Don't think of this reading as a solution to your problem. Think of it as educational. This will help you narrow your search terms and yield more productive results on google, because you can omit words that dilute results (like bricked, brand names, even emergency download). From what I've read, ODIN is a proprietary language used to interface with their own edl, not the QUALCOMM one, but some of it may still apply. It's also likely these guys have done some work on this already too! I know this post is ancient, I just thought it would be good advice for anyone that stumbles across this page looking for similar issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] World_Drifter79:
Hello Guys,

This is my first post.

I've been looking for a Touchwiz ROM for my GT-i9300 (international unlocked edition) but I could not decide on one due to the large selection of options available.

Here are the features I'm looking for:

1. Samsung Touchwiz on Android 4.3 with Stock Samsung Camera

2. No Samsung Apps/bloatware

3. low memory usage

4. Good battery life

I would appreciate any suggestions from experienced users.

Thanks in advance

Just got a brand new TF700T today. I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. I am trying to instal TWRP so I can instal CM11 however I cannot make it happen the easy way. Goomanager is gone (what happened with that?) from the play store. Both Flashify and TWRP Manager can't find a recovery for the TF700T. What gives?

Firmware 10.6.1.14.4-20130329 if it matters. JB 4.2.1.

Id really like to avoid fastboot if I can.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
fastboot is the way to go...

really if you want to avoid fastboot, you should have left it locked ... :(

We can get you up and running, let me know :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] edgex:
Alright well lets start with updating the firmware. That should leave root intact right? So whats the best way to do that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you are still on stock the easiest way is to flash the latest Asus firmware.

Download your JB 4.2.2 SKU version from Asus support downloads site, unzip the downloaded file once resulting in another zip, and copy that second zip to the root of your internal SD.

The system should recognize the update file, pop up a notification about an update being available and flash it. If it doesn't, reboot.

You will loose root, but you don't need it to flash a custom rom following this:

Thanks to lj50036 I was able to get CM11 on there successfully. Everything is running so much better than it was with the stock rom. I really appreciate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lecithin:
I have an MDK S4 and have been flashing custom roms all along.

It had been like a whole week since my last flash so I downloaded Chaos rom and wiped my data and went to install it just like I've done 100 times before with other roms. When I swipped on install it came up with a red "Failed" message. I thought this was odd, but I've had it happen before with corrupt/incomplete/errored downloads.

Since I had already wiped I went to go do a fresh install of the basic NG2 rom I was on prior to wiping and got another "Failed" message.

Flashed my recovery image (which thankfully worked.) I repeated the whole wiping/attempting to flash/restoring my recovery image cycle again hoping it would work the second time around... which it left me back on my recovery image.

Not sure what went wrong. Tried to update TWRP to a newer version through goo manager, but that doesn't seem to be working either.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lecithin:
Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Well firewater didn't work on my new device, it threw me into fastboot hell. i have twrp and fastboot with my soft brick. OS is shot because viper installed but wont boot. i saw on here someone saying you can still flash roms with s-on if my boot is unlocked and im rooted. am i screwed recovering my phone now seeing that s-on is, well, on? or can i fastboot my way out of this......

please help if you can.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
If you can boot to recovery you can flash another ROM. You can use fastboot commands and push a ROM to your phone or put it on your SD card and flash it in recovery.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C-4Nati:
Anyone else having terrible battery life? I'm running stock with francos kernel and it's very lackluster to say the least. Even with the stock kernel it was not impressive at all. On my G2, that has a smaller battery and an older processor I got almost 24-26 hours with anywhere from 5-7 SOT hours consistently. Granted the G2 has a slightly smaller screen, I don't see that making much of a difference. This phone has a 3100 mah as opposed to the G2 3000 and has a newer 801 which is supposed to be a power sipper, as opposed to the G2's 800. I'm currently at 7 hours of battery time with 37 minutes of SOT and sitting at 81%, which is god awful. I mean the phone so far idols terribly and battery drains fairly quick while not being used, I checked battery stats and there's nothing out of the ordinary. I just don't understand how a 3100 mah battery with an 801 can be so lackluster.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C-4Nati:
Also I took these two pics, something's wrong here. Stand by is definitely something my phone was a lot but it should not be the reason for that much percent of the battery. I've never had a phone with stand by taking that much battery, screen is usually always by far the highest % even with not much sot, and I was in a area where I've always had reception so not sure why it had to search for 15% of the time.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] dylanbd54:
Heya all,

I have a kindle fire hd, and I installed twrp recovery on it. I regularly swapped between cyanogenmod and the normal amazon os. When I was swapping between them, instead of deleting just the old amazon os, I deleted the new one as well and also all the backups. In fact, I deleted everytimg on the tablet. I accidentally did a full wipe. All it can do is open up to the boot logo, (kindle fire amazon gold) then change to (kindle fire amazon blue). Then it freezes because it has no os to boot into. I can still access twrp recovery but I don't know how to force an os zip file onto the device because it doesn't show up on any computer! (by the way, if it helps, I installed bootloader as well)

Please help me asap!

Thank you in advance :D

Adb sideload would be the way to go assuming you have access to the recovery more details on sideload here:

http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

Basically do the following:

1. Download the rom to your computer

2. Download the gapps you were going to use

3. Boot the kindle into recovery

4. sideload the rom

5. Flash rom from recovery

6. sideload the gapps

7. Flash gapps from recovery

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dumbkid234:
So like 2 months ago I dropped my m8 and broke the LCD screen. I returned it to a stock Rom and put it back to s on before I sent it back to get fixed. HTC refused to fix it because of "warranty" issues. So does HTC replace broken LCD screens or just cracked glass? Or did they notice my phone had the harken karmen firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] civicstyle01:
Should of taken it to Sprint
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Why take it to Sprint when the HTC Advantage program should replace a damaged screen at no cost? Even if he has Total Equipment Protection from Sprint it will still cost $150 to get a replacement device (through Asurion). It would be one thing if his phone had a hardware issue that caused the screen to mess up but his issue was physical damage due to the phone being dropped.

I was looking into this and you must have a Broadcom chipset in the phone for bcmon to work. If the OPO does not have a Broadcom chipset the bcmon will never work.

So the question is, does the OPO have a Broadcom chipset? If so then maybe an email off to the bcmon devs may get support started.

[Android Themes] The G Dept.:
Hi. Not sure if I'm posting in the right place... but here:

I've just paid ~$21 for the Go Locker VIP Privilege so I can download unlimited themes but I am very disappointed by the fact that we can't change themes' wallpapers. It doesn't fit at all with the look of my (themed) launcher.

I have replaced the wallpaper files for my own using the WinRar method and it worked. But as soon as I restart the phone, the modded theme is gone and Go Locker set back the default one.

Theme icon is still on the home screen but it says it's not installed.

Is there a way around this? Signature problem? N00b here. Got my S5 6 days ago, had an old flip cellphone (and a pager!) before. :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] roscoe182:
hi all i have a xperia s which i managed to get rooted but i have locked bootloader and as i understand there is no way to unlock ?.

i have seen that here is a version of CM10 that can be put on LB fones but i am completely lost on how to do so do i use flash tool / how do i even find it to download every link to it iv seen is dead

i come from an LG 4x HD which i found really straight forward to flash with a custom rom so i do have some knowledge even if basic at best.

but other than rooting my xperia im lost as to where to go next if some one would be so kind as to point me in the right direction as i absolutely hate the stock FW on this fone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
in the end you'll get back to stock BELIEVE ME LOL
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] roscoe182:
after so long with CM i don't think i could ever go back to stock.

i had CM on various fone's since CM7.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
OH ok

well then you'll have to root your phone first and then get recovery and since you want to flash cm10 for locked bootloader you can find it in development section there's a tutorial on how to flash it:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] roscoe182:
well i got root pretty easily it was just finding out to put the rom on my fone as the CM (LB) didn't really have any clear instructions.

but after coming across doomlords CWM for LB it was as it normally is flashing a rom.

i am happy to see after looking at more roms (if i would have done this first then i wouldn't have been so lost) a good few of them were for LB and had pretty clear instructions but i do think that this general section should have some clear instructions for L/U B;L.. mainly for LB as i had absolutely no idea that it couldn't be unlocked on certain fones.

I 100% blame me for getting lost tho due to my inability to perform and adequate search on the forums without confusing my self . haha.

But thank you for the assistance :o
