[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacBland22:
Hello new member here. I'm wondering, can I perform a factory reset on my towel rooted VZW Note 3, and keep root? Also will this soft brick my phone?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBreunig3:
Personally, I would not. You may risk getting brick. Why do you want to reset your phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacBland22:
I'm having troubles with my ext sd RW permissions. This was after I attempted to install safestrap. But safestrap did not install correctly I don't think and it caused my phone to have random restarts.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBreunig3:
If you have twrp installed I would try to flash a new rom or a stock Rom for your phone. That should fix the problem. You can always backup your apps and data with titanium backup. And make sure you back up your contacts. Also just make a backup in twrp of it current rom. Just to be sure
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacBland22:
From everything I have found you cannot put cwrp/twrp on a verizon note 3. Do you have a link to a forum that u haven't seen?

Sorry I didn't know that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] holt3113:
If any one can help with any idea I would really appreciate it.

So I let my little brother play my s2 and he completely ran the battery out.

now I have left it on the charger over night, when i go to boot into recovery. You feel the phone vibrate then see the samsung for a split second, and if you keep holding the power you just feel the phone keep vibrating. The screen never turns back on. Now I know it works because i was able to boot recovery once, when i did that i just tried a full wipe and reboot. phone kept boot looping, so i pulled battery, but now i cant get into download mode or recovery.

Please help, or atleast let me know that its not fixable

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
You are supposed to let go of power after the first vibration. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MeasleyBeasley:
Try downloading a stock ROM (.tar format, I believe) and flashing it, using ODIN. That worked for me when I bricked my SGH-T989.

I later had to install a new recovery, but you can play around and see what needs doing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
Just wanted to know if its possible to root (towel root) flash custom recovery and custom roms and then if I decide to later revert totally back to stock unrooted nexus without a PC. Ive attempted to read up on this but I'm a little confused that ill need to use SDK and ADB which i can't have access to at the moment or have the skills to use.

I've seen apps on google play to unlock boot loader once towel rooted but I'm just unsure if i can revert totally back to an unrooted nexus 5 with original recovery, without a pc as I'm using an iMac and having really unreliability with it :/

Id greatly appreciate any help :good:

The nexus devices are the easiest devices to get back to stock because Google supplies the stock images
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
Yes EE it was the first 4g carrier in UK used to be T-Mobile and orange
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NBreunig3:
Not sure. I am not familiar with nexus devices
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
This is a nexus thread?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhyte:
There are a couple different options.

I'm not sure if flashify requires a unlocked bootloader. Root, flash custom recovery with flashify, make a backup. When you are done either restore backup or if stock already use flashify to flash stock recovery, delete root apps, unroot via supersu.

Boot unlocker I have heard will work to lock and unlock boot loader but I'm not sure about resetting the tamper flag.

Using fastboot and adb is always going to be the surest and safest way to root etc. Unless you are going to be submitting your phone for RMA there should be no reason to unroot. You can always flash a stock rooted ROM and just leave it.

Steps are;

-Download boot unlocker fr on play

-Download flashify from play (just in case)

-Download vomers stock ROM (number 6 in resources section in the link in my signature)

-Download stock recovery (number 7 in resources section in the link in my signature)

Firstly, flash the recovery zip via your current recovery and reboot

Then, reset The tamper flag and lock the boot loader

Finally, open SuperSU and use the full indoor option to remove Root

Good as new.
[HTC EVO 3D] BraaKwaku:
:( ok so i had the ICS rom on my evo 3d. i found on the unlimited.io website that the s-off is possible with stock ICS rom so i followed instructions. after several tries of the wire trick i kept getting error: still sober. so now i am fed up and just want to use my phone as it was but it boots to the juopunutBear screen and gets stuck there. Please I need help on how to return back to the ICS rom i had.sorry but i have searched and cant find any direct instructions to do so, please i need help urgently as its my only phone :(.

I have unlocked bootloader, s-on, hboot 1.53.0007

[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
Woo! Glad you're up and running again!!! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] BraaKwaku:
by the way, my phone has sprint written on it (top right corner), when i was unlocking in on htcdev i chose sprint and it worked. but the hboot is 1.53.0007 and it uses a sim card also it says shooter_u in bootloader. so is it Sprint CDMA? or is it GSM. do i follow Sprint guides or GSM guides? just in case i wanna try anything in future.
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
Sprint is cdma, I have the sprint version myself. That's really interesting. I wonder if somehow the guts of a gsm model made it into the body of a sprint model?

All of your information definitely is gsm. I would not follow the sprint guides or try to install a cdma bootloader or radio.
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
The screen may have been replaced and come off a donor sprint phone
[HTC EVO 3D] BraaKwaku:
hmm, could be, but when i was unlocking my bootloader, on the htcdev site i chose sprint and it worked. is that normal?
[LG G Watch] coolsilver:
I don't remember it being very slow out of the box. Maybe because the location wakelocks I turned off on my google play services. But I'm having slow voice response on everything. It will sit and spin in the corner a few seconds before it shows anything I said. Sometimes will fail and say Google Cloud isn't responding or something of the sort.

Phone? Watch? Just me not speaking clearly? I try to limit the apps that I have on the watch. Already tried a factory reset on it to see if it would help.
[LG G Watch] spiderflash:
Are you on mobile connection? Mine is also very slow outside, it's much faster when connected to my wifi.

It's the phone. I noticed playing around that turning the screen on instantly operated at proper speed. So it seems the Kernel I have installed is too aggressive with bluetooth or in general.
[Android Themes] aeneas1:
i see how to get music when flashing a bootanimation zip with qmg and binary files, but if i want to just manually add a bootanimation.zip file (part0, part1, etc. + desc.txt) to the system/media folder, how do i get music to play on boot? any help would be appreciated!
[Android Themes] KachowPow:
The way that you are asking this question is very confusing as first of all bootanimation.zip files are different than qmg files as there are no "part0", "part1", these qmg files are proprietary to Samsung devices only, see what I mean from my collection. Not to make matters more confusing than they really need to be. To get a music file to play aside a bootanimation, this file is often converted to an .ogg file often runs under the file name PowerOn.ogg depending on the device, the system/media/audio/ui name bootanimation sound, there can also be a shutdown sound either named PowerOff.ogg or Shutdown.ogg again this varies depending on the device. Often the most challenging part working with sound files is timing getting the Sound file to start and finish the same time as the bootanimation, and to get the two files to work consistently together time and time again. GL.
[Android Themes] aeneas1:
from what i understand you can alter your boot animation by either changing the omg files or by adding a bootanimation.zip file (part0, desc.txt, etc.) - and this can be done by manually adding the omg files or zip to a specific folder(s) or by flashing a zip (that contains the omg files or the bootanimation.zip along with with binary files) via recovery. my question is if i choose to go the manual bootanimation.zip route (part0, desc.txt, etc.), i.e. adding the bootanimation.zip it to the system/media folder, how do i get audio to work at boot? and how do i get a shutdown animation to work? it's pretty easy to get audio, boot animation and shutdown animation to work using omg files, but how do you accomplish this using the manual bootanimation.zip method?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deshx:
Xperia U has removable battery. charge it using another phone or a auto charger (u can borrow your friends' battery, if they have Xu ).

when the battery is sufficiently charged, try getting into fastboot mode, using flashtool.

if successful, push stock kernel and then using flashmode flash stock ftf.

you can find guides for using fastboot mode in this forum.

however, your primary goal is to get the battery charged.

Hi guys I was wondering how does TWRP handle devices with no SD card ? Everytime I want to flash a ROM I have to wipe data does this wipe everything on your phone ? Do I make backups after every flash ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The phone has a internal storage eMMC 5.0 of 16GB/64GB.

No it does not wipe your internal storage.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladashram:
Yes it treats the virtual sdcard as an actual sdcard, and will not format it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuckMcQUack:
It works this way even with devices with external sd cards. Internal memory is not touched.

What you're actually working on is only system partition.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jack of Clubs:
/data/media is where your personal storage is. It's symbolically linked to /sdcard as well for old apps the need it. When you factory reset (format /data) it excludes /data/media. Nothing is lost. You also don't need to wipe every time you flash a ROM. At least you don't unless you are changing to a different ROM just not when updating, though it's probably advisable to at least wipe dalvik cache.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naruto.ninjakid:
Thanks guys I was a little confused! Never had a phone without an SD card.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathlynn22:
If your using twrp there is wipebwhich does a factory wipe which wipes the data and cache. Doesnt touch your actual data. If you go to advanced wipe in wipe you can choose whatever your want. And wipe whole phone. But if you do that you will need to backup and then sideload or use USB otg to flash a ROM back....

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You can use the xposed framwork additions module to remap hardware keys. Or any number of other Play store apps will also endeavor to do so for you.

Or you could directly edit the the /system/usr/keylayout files. As you aren't already doing this though, I can only presume that you aren't familiar with the syntax. In which case, xposed will be your best option.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swatzombies:
I have a question that involves keylayout, since this is a similar thread, I thought I should ask here. I've added on-screen navigation buttons, and want to disable the soft touch keys (I accidentally press them a lot...). I found out through a Note 2 forum that I need to put a # sign in front of keys 158 and 139, but I think it might be different for Galaxy S5. Can someone help me disable the two soft touch keys (back and recent apps keys). Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You should start your own thread, rather than hijack an existing one.

In short, you can either use an app like Xposed to reassign the keys or edit the keylayout files directly. Simply leave the keys in question unassigned. If you find that the keys still light up, that can be disabled in the Settings menu with the touch key duration setting = always off.

Would it be possible to install an i9000 Rom and make an installable zip that has all necessary vibrant files instead of having to port the Rom on a pc?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirogu325:
Sadly we have very little developers on board. Also, it is better to flash the proper ported ROM from the start because if not, file permission failure may happen among other issues such as Force Closes. I gave you the link on how to do it in another thread. It may seem complicated at first but it is not complicated if you, for example, by using 7Zip (or similar) on your PC take the required files from, say, sada's CyanogenMod ROM by opening its zip file with 7Zip and drag it to the .zip i9000 ROM you want to port. Just giving you a hint to make it easier for you. I managed to do it some weeks ago and I didn't know the how-to before.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzee206:
that approach is time consuming to do on the phone takes at least a few minutes just to extract it and same goes for zipping everything back up. trust me I've done this before and never done it again. it would be best to do on a comp less likely to make a mistake

but if you're determined to do it on your phone go for it and good luck. what rom are you wanting to port over from the i9000?
