any one please refer me guide how to make recovery like cwm
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi!

I can't find any guides on the subject on XDA. I'm guessing because most use the ones available already and they work just fine usually.

You could ask here and see if anyone knows anything on this....

Another thing

Sorry for the bothering but the section for beginners and the getting started is not yet functional, and I really don't want to destroy my S200 .

Another small question - what is the difference between ROM and Radio ROM ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
radiorom is embedded software for the gsm phone part of the device

and normal rom is the opratingsystem
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] heverhever@hotmail.com:
So ...

So If my problem is That the OS is in french and I want to change it to English I need to change only the normal ROM ??

Thanks again !!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
yeah the language is located in the normal os rom

but i sugest you read a bit in

as there are times when radio and os rom only works or works best if they are the versions shipped together
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quibly:
I have a few questions about the digitizer and main boards. I got a lot of info from an 80 page thread but got lost in it after a few days.

1. Does anyone know what sw6501 on the bottom of the digitizer board does? I pushed it and the tablet restarts but beyond that does it do anything? Its in a spot that is not accessible when the tablet is assembled.

2. How do I disconnect the ribbon between the motherboard and the digitizer/sd board? (I know this should be easy but its seems to not want to move and I don't want to force it)

3. Somewhere in this forum it says I can solder a fuse wire to fix non-working touchscreen that has shorted because pad was on when plugging in digitizer. Does anyone have a picture or diagram showing exactly where this is?

4. How do I determine if a board out of a pad is 32g or 16g? ie where is the identification on the board?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooooooop:
Your questions would be better asked in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091233

1. I think this is accessible when assembled, there is a pin hole, it is force reset

2. the ribbons have tabs that need to be lifted up before removing, they hold the ribbons in place (do NOT do this without turning off the service switch!!!)

3. see thread above

4. not sure
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quibly:
Thanks!

got the ribbon off. I was just being too easy on it. Found out about the hard switch from that giant thread. Very useful as the switch is small and easily overlooked.

I haven't seen which particular spot to solder in that giant thread. But I will keep looking. It is a very time consuming thread that is bloated with multiple topics. It does have a lot of info. Sadly its just very time consuming to dredge through peoples output logs and random pleas of help to find the meat of it.

I am using Windows 8.1

I can connect my Xperia S throught ADB under USB debugging mode.

But I cannot do the same thing in TWRP.

Anything wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rockstar.dj364:
I hope my reply helps you

It is because the TWRP version which you use doesn't seem to support ADB. Try the same using CWM:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
or perhaps you need to install the drivers. download flashtool, install flashtool, boot to disabling driver signature in win8 (google how to do this), install flashtool's driver (i chose everything that has xperia s in it :D ), reboot your phone to twrp, plug your phone to pc. open device manager, then you'll see that there's exclamation mark in xperia s device, choose install/update driver, choose browser my computer, choose let me pick, choose android adb (sony adb). then simply type adb devices in cmd to test it.

that's all. perhaps there are some steps that arent necessary, but that's how i remember i done it.

good luck
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
I installed that update that upgraded the phone to 4.4.3 and enabled Wi-Fi calling about a week ago. And since then, the SMS app has been incredibly laggy to the point where it is near unusable. I am not exaggerating, it takes literally about 20 seconds from me tapping a letter, for the phone to vibrate that it recognized I touched the screen and display the letter on the screen.

I know that internally the SMS is working fine since I can get replies back on my Pebble before the message I sent that they are replying too even appears on my screen.

Also, this only happens to specific contacts, but always the same ones.

Everything was working perfectly before this update, but directly after installing it this happened. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
Backup & do a hard reset will take care of it. I always recommend doing a hard reset after any kinda of big update anyway. I would also do a profile update once the hard reset is complete. There was some issues with connectivity for this update that a profile update should take care of, although it's not going to solve your sms problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Wouldn't restoring the backup bring the problems back though?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
It's possible, doesn't really hurt to try. I usually try and restore as little data as possible and do everything by hand. One thing you can do if you wanna keep your sms, is export it, then import sms only back in after the rest. I have had good luck with it. Certain apps I use titanium backup to restore, but a lot of stuff I do by hand. I have tried HTC's backup on a friends phone, it actually worked better than I thought. Sometimes it's nice to not do a backup (other than like sms & photos) It will clear out the old apps you don't wanna use.
[Shield Q&A] jasonsplace:
Has anyone else with the Shield Tablet had a lot of problems with Game Stability? I'm not a hardcore gamer but I chose the Shield Tablet because I thought it would be good for Casual Gaming (including emulators), watching movies and editing photos (the stylus is awesome). Since getting it though I've noticed that most of the games I have are pretty unstable. The Simpsons Tapped Out won't launch at all and both NBA Jam and Riptide crash frequently...often times before I get to playing. Has anyone else had problems with this? Do these apps just need to be updated or is it something in the tablet that is unstable?

I checked the LogCat and most of the crashes are near this message:

I tried disabling the Control map feature but nothing changed.
[Shield Q&A] Virus.Shell:
I've had a few issues with apps here and there. The oddity I keep seeing is when the app will load but most

everything will show up white. This has happened to me using Dolphin Browser and Iron Force. I'm guessing

that the tablet likely needs to be patched somehow, seeing that it's brand new. I'll check logcat a little later

to see if there are any similarities.

I'm still having trouble with this and finding more apps that don't work. Tonight I learned that TeamViewer just crashes whenever you try and Remote Control a computer. I really like a lot of the features on this tablet but this is my 10th Android device and it's by far the most unstable that I've ever used. I really hope that they have some software updates soon to address some of these problems.
[Shield Q&A] NZtechfreak:
So far no issues with mine.
[Shield Q&A] dirkgently68:
Only got mine today and Simpsons: Tapped Out just crashes after the splash screen and Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff comes up with an error message on the loading screen, got this as an upgrade for my Kindle Fire HD but looks like I'm going to have to keep both tablets for now, hope it gets fixed.
[Shield Q&A] chuck4100:
I have most the issues, FamGuy runs, but it will bog down after a few minutes, sometimes it even sorta crashes then comes back with most of the assets black, like nothing visible but the characters and coin bubbles. The tapped out i believe is an issue more with the app than the tablet based on other forums but still....

One thing i personally noticed, it feels like the more graphically demanding a game is, the better it runs. Like dungeon keeper runs like **** in my bluestacks, and it runs ok on my moto x however, it runs like watching a movie on a 240hz tv for the first time on the shield. Super smooth and quick on everything.

all the tegra specific games i've put on run perfectly except for some controller issues and small things.
[Shield Q&A] Michigan Jason:
iron force will not work

iron force is literally the only game that I bought this tablet for to be able to connect it to my big screen and use the controller from the couch is anyone else having the issue with this game being mostly white and only certain objects showing up I have done the most recent updates on the tablet and contacted in video and they simply blame the app developer

[LG Optimus 4X HD] amiga78:
Hi, my first post although I've been reading these forums for a couple of years.

reason: The keyboard on my Optimus 4X HD just disappeared a few days ago, and I can only type with "Google voice typing". It doesn't even show up when I tap a text field and I can't switch to it.

In "Settings > Language & input" I can't switch to other input method and the settings are grayed out.

I would prefer not to reset the entire phone and lose everything stored in it if possible. :D

Is there some way to just repair the android installation or the LG keyboard app? I'm thinking there could just be some files missing or gone corrupt, but all suggestions are welcome.

It's one thing to reset android but all the apps that need reconfiguring and backing up/restoring all my files is not very tempting right now.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
You can reset only the keyboard. Wipe cache in app settings. If that doesn't help, wipe data too.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] amiga78:
I did that a couple of times already, still doesn't show the keyboard. It doesn't even seem to be running when i look for it in OS Monitor.

It's the stock LG rom 4.1.2 BTW.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Try install a keyboard from the play store and see if it shows up under language and input if it doesn't, at least you'll have keyboard to type with

Don't forget to hit thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] amiga78:
I have tried that already, among the first things I did.

I installed the Hacker's Keyboard ( from the computer because searching the playstore with "google voice typing" wasn't fun. =)

But it doesn't show up although it is activated.

The input settings are grayed out as you can see in the attachment so I cant deactivate or change enything.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Under the keyboard and input options, did you try clicking on the "default" option

don't forget to hit thanks!

cleared all kinds of settings in safemode and then changed the default option and now it's back. Yay! :good: Thanx for the suggestion!
[HTC Sensation] emrvb:
Hello,

I have a HTC Sensation XE under maintenance for a friend. It's S-ON with unlocked bootloader. I have tried several roms and currently it's running rather smooth with ViperSC2 5.2.1, all clock speeds on default.

However the battery seems to drain rather fast. With moderate use the battery gets depleted under 7 hours. I have replaced the battery with a new original HTC battery and the problem persists. This issue occurs with all roms I tried.

Now I started to wonder if it could be the RIL/Radio combination. The "getRil" app reports an incompatible baseband and RIL. So the question is, which RIL goes with radio fw 11.76c.3504.00U_11.29A.3504.18_M?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] emrvb:
I get multiple suggestions. Tried some. After the change and a reboot it keeps saying the baseband and RIL don't match. 2nd or 3th RIL I tried caused instant reboot on sim unlock (activating GSM?), WIFI worked fine though. So instead of just trial and error, I wonder if anyone just know which RIL I should use.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
the point is since you are on S--ON you can't change your radio/ril

you have to be on S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] emrvb:
I know you can't replace the radio image while S-ON, but please, elaborate why I can not update my RIL.

I'm still curious if anyone knows the correct RIL for this radio.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
afaik you have to be on S-OFF too for updating RIL
[HTC Sensation] emrvb:
The RIL (Radio Interface Layer) is like a driver for the OS to communicate with the radio. So as far as I understood it, you can just flash it from recovery or even install during normal operation when you have root access.

Correct me if I'm wrong, if I'm not, we're getting off topic here. So, anyone knows which RIL I need?
[HTC Sensation] emrvb:
Yeah I've already been there. Do you suggest I just try the RILs there? The particular radio firmware is not mentioned in that thread. I was just hoping someone could give me a definitive answer as trial and error might take a while.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
not all of them

i can't suggest anything else:(
[HTC Sensation] emrvb:
I've got a reply in the radios and RILs thread (mentioned by rzr86) that HTC-RIL_4.0.0037HMQ (http://d-h.st/UBf) should be the one for the 11.76c.3504.00U_11.29A.3504.18_M radio firmware. I will post results later.

Hi XDA Community. Can you guys be kind enough to explain to me(us) what it does when you tweak it? Does it help the phone? In what ways? I'm able to enter kernel tweaks because of the Rom Toolbox app and i don't wanna touch it without knowing what it does.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
Check out this thread. It should help you out. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/nexus-5-undervolting-thread-t2537000

Although some people disagree about battery life. I think most people just do it to reduce the heat the phone produces.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Controls the voltages each frequency runs at. People undervolt (lower the voltage), not overvolt (maybe for 3014MHz but not stock clocks), because the factory defaults are set higher than what is actually needed just to be safe, as every device is different. Only real advantage is a little bit less heat, battery savings is too negligible. Lowering it too much will cause bootloops. Raising it is silly.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your phone is not bricked if you are getting system error messages or able to boot to download (Odin) mode. Bricked means that a phone responds the same as a brick does. So unless you have a red clay brick that also boots to download mode..

To fix your phone, go to download mode and flash the full stock firmware image for your model /carrier. You should do this in conjunction with the correct PIT file for your phone. Many people skip the PIT file and still prevail. But it's an unnecessary risk to skip it and you would do so at your own peril.

You say that flashing stock didn't work, but you provided no details whatsoever. You don't need a new bootloader, you need to use Odin correctly. To help spot where you are going astray, you need to describe step by step how you are using Odin, the name of the stock firmware file you are flashing, your phone model and verbatim, what you see on the Odin screen. A screen shot or photograph of the download mode screen on the phone would help too.

The only way out is to do a battery pull. It will allow me to go into "Download mode", as the second picture indicates, and Odin states stays on "Reset". The message it states is as follows: D:0/006> NAND Write Start!!, <ID:0/006> cache.img.ext4, <ID:0/006> RQT_CLOSE !!, <ID:0/006> RES OK !!, <ID:0/006> Removed!!, <ID:0/006> Remain Port .... 0, <OSM> All threads completed.

Can you boot into recovery?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You aren't following the suggestions made earlier. You are taking shortcuts that you think won't matter and introducing all kinds of variables. And failing. If you really want to get your phone working, you should follow the advice rather than taking liberties and winging it.

Flash a

stock

firmware image, not a modified image intended for rooting. First you need a stable system - you can root afterwards. Make sure it is a 100% stock tar for your carrier and use Odin 3.09 instead of the older version you have. Flash the firmware .tar file and PIT file at the same time, with the PIT, F. reset and auto reboot checked in Odin. If the Odin flash fails, try a different USB cable and port. A different computer if you need too.

Also you gave no details about the PIT file, other than the file name. We cannot tell if that is the correct file for your phone. The PIT file needs to match your phone model, ROM size and carrier. There is a XDA thread that should have the correct file. Probably the one that I uploaded here.

As well, if you get an Odin flash failed message, do not close or reset Odin. Instead pull the battery on your phone, replace it and then boot to download mode (press and hold volume down, then home, then the power button). Then try flashing again. The flash will inevitably succeed the second time, even though it failed at first.
