[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Daisflaque:
So.. I've been experiencing a 'not so unique' problem on any AOSP/CM/PA rom.

Everything is great. I rooted my brand new S4 L720t. And put my favorite rom on it. (Based on CM source's as always) and proceeded to install my apps and such like turning on/off settings I do/do not like. Again all is well until i start said application. (Mostly games or heavy ram intensive apps. But not always.) I play pocket legends. And 5 minutes after.. (in the middle of a ram intensive fight) freeze. Complete lockup.

So I needed yo know if this was a rom issue. No. As many roms as i can find exhibit the same. Even pure CM/AOKP.

At this point I assumed ram. Nope. Stopped all bg apps and still no fix. So next would be kernel.

So i flash kt747. No. Cronickernel. Nothing. Still freezing. As I'm typing this ive suffered several freezes (4 to this point).

Hail Odin! Nope. Still there!! Im freaking lost.. and looking back at stock tw.... eeeeeewww! :'(

So.. here i am.. freezing on any rom i can flash.. and i pulled a logcat and replicated the freeze. And got results! But... alas.. I'm completely noob to dumps...

Please.. someone that CAN read dumps and logcats.. please point me to the problem.. and then i can find a fix.. ir if you've got time and stuff.. maybe WE could.. lol..

Sorry to ramble... like to logcat... http://pastebin.com/hiKZBk8s
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Daisflaque:
I've narrowed the logcat to...

E/TemperatureHumiditySensor( 743): mCompEngine is NULL

Also kinda a bump.. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MortTheBeast:
My first half way decent smartphone was a HTC Droid Inc 2 (yea yea... nothing to jump up and down about, but it sure beat my lil junky prepaid Galaxy Proclaim lol). Now that was about 6 months ago (or so) and beings how dated the software was I figured I would give a shot at rooting it and trying out some custom roms. Well I really enjoyed it and after a handful of roms I opted to stick with one I felt made it run pretty good for a lil junker... so then I decided I might be able to sell it and get something better...

Put it up on CL for $80 and it sold in a couple days. Then I found an S3 on CL and talked the guy down to $60 and it was in perfect condition. I fouled up though, because I went and did an OTA and got the royal shaft with 4.4.2 while on Verizon. Anyway... lesson learned and I decided to switch to Sprint and was able to sell my $60 S3 for $140 today (insert happy evil grin here...). I was then able to talk a guy down in price and snagged an S4 for $140 just a few hours after selling the S3.

Now I have rooted the phone and my next step was going to be recovery and then checking out some roms, but before doing so, I was hoping someone might point me in the direction to say the TOP 3 popular roms for this phone that are stable and are still being updated and or under development?

Also would like to know what exactly do you get off the roms? Meaning, for my old Inc2 it helped speed it up, but the S4 is pretty darn fast... so what are some of the top benefits you would get from a rom for this phone versus sticking with stock?

And one last question... will this phone ever see 4.4.3 or 4.4.4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Daisflaque:
About every question you've asked is a matter of personal opinion. I'm sorry but for most of this you'll probably have to search and choose yourself. Of course CM is always being updated.

And as for features free hotspot, custom kernels/mods would be the tip of the iceberg of root/roming. Hope this helps a little.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MortTheBeast:
Thanks for the responses. And out of curiosity, has anyone tried out the Mahdi ROM 4.4.4... thoughts if ya have?

And I'm really trying to find something that's stable with everything working. I believe it was a Viper Rom I had on my Inc2 and had no issues, was fast and for sure helped with extending battery life. And one thing I am not sure about is, if I install any rom and then want to go back to stock... what the process would be. Would I be able to just hook my phone up to Kies 3 to get back to stock?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MortTheBeast:
Thanks, made a nandroid with CWM and its saved to my sdcard. Curious though, does this actually backup the entire phone or just certain aspects? For example if I installed CM11 and then didn't like it, I could just perform a restore with my nandroid and all will be back to exactly the way it was when I did the initial backup?

[HTC Incredible S] kk_creed:
So, here's the whole story. My phone's display cracked after it fell. But everything was working normally and the touch response was as good as ever. Being the grade A procrastinator that i am, i used the phone for a few weeks delaying taking it to service. One day the phone charged out. I charged it fully but it wouldn't turn on(but it used to vibrate on pressing the power button like it usually does when switching on). I took out the battery and switched it on again...i did this for about 10 times when it powered on. I continued using it when again one fateful day it charged out overnight (i forgot to charge it when battery was less than 10%). It wouldn't turn on again even after taking out the battery and switching on... for like a 50 times. Then i booted into recovery by pressing vol down and power and then after 10 seconds again pressing vol down then enter(since recovery is the second option in hboot). So, now i'm perplexed..was it the display that's not working?..and then it booted into recovery and the display was perfect. I performed a clean wipe and re-installed the rom that i had been using(Vivokat). The problem persisted. Why is the display working only when the phone is booted into recovery??:confused: Then i decided to unroot the phone and then installed the stock ruu..now as you know the recovery is stock HTC's..i can't boot even into recovery.:( any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] lakshan_456:
I have a Mediatek device from a local brand (Greentel G9) and now it's stuck in a bootloop and I can't recover from it. I will list all the details below. Any help is deeply appreciated.

*Issue - Stuck in a bootloop. (phone starts up and then the boot animation begins to plays continuously. Another thing that I have noticed is that the boot animation is played in reverse. Not sure why, though. )

*Cause - Attempted Build.prop edit ( I was trying to enable soft keys, but never thought it would be so dangerous)

What I did so far - I have the original Build.prop and a dump of the stock system in .tar format.

As this is an relatively unknown device, no custom recoveries are available, and many attempts to make one myself failed. (this phone also have ubifs partitions,which are not supported by CWM) Have the stock recovery backed up.

Phone currently runs 4.2.2 and is rooted but USB Debugging is disabled.

1). Tried pushing the Build.prop via ADB with the ADB option in stock recovery. Failed! Gives an error 'closed' probably because of disabled USB Debugging.

2). Tried fastboot but it's wasn't helping too. Doesn't have anything to flash.

I'm not really new to Android modding. I previously had an HTC Wildfire, but having CWM made things easier. But I'm still aware of the risks involved.

But now, I'm really stuck. I'm not sure there is anything else I can do. But, I would deeply appreciate any help if recovering the phone is still possible.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
Sorry bro... But I think you should find stock firmware.....

Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] lakshan_456:
I don't think it's easy to find firmware for devices like this.

I'm thinking of getting a new phone anyway. So, I give up on recovering this.

Thanks for trying to help.

I am referring to parts for the HTC Wizard (and like models), I have called HTC and got the parts dept. and the person never answers the damn phone.

I am sure there are others who are looking for parts...

All I need right now is a new keyboard (just the buttons) mine is in German, would like an English (US, preferably).

So where have you (the community) gotten parts from reliably?

I am in Canada, are people in other countries having an easier time?

Hello! I've aquired an HTC First a while ago. I've had some experience rooting my Sharp (forget which model it was), and my Pantech Pocket (P9060), but both times i've had access to a Windows PC, but this time, i'm trying to root my HTC First (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) but I don't have a pc that I can use to root my phone. I've done it before with my brother's First as well with a pc. But i'm trying to find an app or a method that I can use to root it without a computer. I've tried Framaroot, but only two of the available exploits would show (Gandalf and Aragorn) and none worked. I've tried Key Root Master to no avail as well. I've even tried Poot, but nothing seems to work for my device. Is there anything I can do? :confused:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
So I followed available instructions as close as possible in the Stickied thread under development, but I'm not sure my M8 is 100% stock now.

I unfortunately have to send the device back as the Charge Controller on this motherboard is faulty and the phone won't charge properly. As I said I followed all instructions, but I noticed a SS for the verizon boot loader and my CID does not appear there at all... I set it to the VZW__001 with fastboot-RUU mode but that line of text is completely absent from my bootloader screen.

Would an update have caused this to go away? I don't recall ever updating the firmware. How can I be 100% sure it appears to be a non-tampered with device? I cannot tell you how disappointed I was to find out this phone had a faulty motherboard after having to recharge it for the first time. I bought it and it was fully charged, rooted it, and all was well until I had to plug it in before bed, only to find it less than what it was before sleeping.:eek:

I tried repeating available steps, and reflashed everything I had downloaded to unroot and return to stock. Any help is appreciated.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dharmil007:
I was trying to root the Xperia ION phone.

I followed all the the steps mentioned(HERE) & flashed the kernel available HERE.

BootLoader is unLocked

Now after flashing the kernel, the device had gone in bootloop mode.

I could access the recovery, but thats it.

When i tried to boot to system from recovery, it once again started bootloop.

So, from recovery i wiped the whole system partition of my fone {wipe data}.

Now there is not bootloop, when the phone starts it just gets stuck at SONY logo & after that it doesnt go any further.

While starting it displays a pink LED, so i can go into recovery by pressing VOL-UP key & from recovery i can go into BootLoader FastBoot Mode.

But i cannot get the green led to get into flash mode.

I dont know which type of bricked device is this HARD or SOFT BRICK.

But please help.

What should i do further so that i can again use the phone.

Currently the phone's battery is completely dead.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
What firmware version were You on? I think using old kernel with new firmware made Your device soft brick. Try using a kernel which is of same firmware version as Your's.

Did You install drivers for flashmode? Because You need to flash the Your official firmware ftf via flashmode.

Else if You are able to access Your device on pc while being in recovery, find a rom with kernel in it and try the command:

push /pat/to/ROM.zip /sdcard

and then flash the rom.

Thanks buddy.

But i already solved the issue.

So, I have an NVIDIA Shield, and am very interested in the LTE version of the upcoming NVIDIA Shield Tablet, but I need to know something. I intend on buying the LTE variant for data. I have no reason to have voice, but I want to use data. I am under the impression it is a GSM device, and is for T-Mobile or AT&T, I want to use my Verizon LTE data. The question breaks down to whether I can pop my Verizon SIM in and use it on the LTE-only bands? I know the Nexus 7 had a LTE radio, but I am under the impression it was somewhat carrier specific. Anyways, if somebody has the answer, that'd be great.

Please help! I have a Softbank HTC Tytn and just came across this amazing forum today. I'm a techno-literate person so this is even more frustrating... I simply cannot get Activesync (or my laptop for that matter) to recognize my Tytn...

When connected via USB it appears under Network Adaptors in my Device Manager as "Windows Mobile-based Device #3" and has the ! because it has no drivers.

I'm using Activesync 4.2 worldwide English version downloaded from the Microsoft site.

Never heared before.

Disable activesync if it is connected, put the device in bootloader mode and try to connect to it using mtty. If you get the "USB>" prompt you can do everything, you don't need activesync at all for unlocking or flashing roms, everything can be started with the device in bootloader mode.
