[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (AW.Poot)AkaS:
First I would like to tell that I am Lol, have little knowledge about android. Check following methods

1.The idea is to replace mmcblk03op.img with other zenfone 5 img directly with file manager.

2. Try to edit this img with notepad ++.

3.Download original ASUS firmware. Zip, I don't know if this img exist

Path for img is /dev/block/mmcblk03op.img

3. download ASUS flash tool and raw firmware. And flash it.

4. In fast boot mode type fastboot flash /dev/block/mmcblk03op original_mmc_img

Reboot after every method

Guys, I've tried to flash a rom 2days ago (I don't remember wich) and my e977 get bricked.

So, since then I have been lookin for a solution... So I've learned something about adb and tried adb sideload to flash another rom. And flashed the CM

When my phone worked, I was almost throwing fireworks.

So, when I looked to the statusbar, the phone signal isn't working, wifi won't turn on, bluetooth don't turn, camera won't work (black screen), voice recorder stops when I try to recorder (so, the microphone is not working too)

I tought: lets flash another one, and flashed these one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2395730

But this rom had the same problems... I'ts my phone? or these roms? Please help!

I have an e977 (the same that e975)

Guys, some news:

Can you enter to download mode? I know that if you flash a rom like CM. Only the system partition will be flash. Maybe a solución will be using a KDZ file to upload all partition.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KSmooove:
Hi all, found my old SGH-T989 and I want to turn this phone into my play phone.

I am new to rooting and all and I don't know which versions of what to use. Everytime I mess up, I have to restore the phone back to stock 2.3.6 then upgrade to 4.1.2 via Kies, then try to root and such.

Problem is... I don't know which ROMs, gapps to use and which cwm to use!!! Seems like every guide out there is outdated because I get stuck in a bootloop every single time I try to flash a ROM or I get Error 7...

Any tips?

I just want 4.4.2 at least on my SGH-T989 What are my options? What are your suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
You need to be on 4.1.2 for this to work. I am bit responsible for what happens. You can get 4.1.2 for Odin from samfirmware.com. Download the latest TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hercules/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hercules.tar and flash it in Odin. Your phone should reboot. Boot into recovery by powering off your phone and then holding power and the two volume buttons until you hear two vibrations and then hold just the volume buttons until you see a black screen. Release all buttons. Flash [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s SuperSU in recovery ( http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip) Wipe cache ald Dalvik and reboot. You should be rooted and able to flash any KitKat ROM. AOSPA is a good choice. It is pretty stable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ayr0:
I just flashed CarbonROM on my sister's phone this weekend. Rooting is not really required.

My process:

Flash TWRP (this was the most difficult of the entire process. It is still relatively easy though). I used Odin to flash the latest TWRP. TWRP provides odin flashable archives so it is really just a matter of knowing how to flash thing using Odin. This does not require root. The CWM wiki page says that Rooting is not required, nor is it the preferred method when flashing a new rom.

You can use Heimdall, but it is very hit and miss with this phone. Odin is much more "reliable" on the T989. I tried Heimdall, but I ended up having to reset my sister's phone because it flashed the recovery incorrectly.

Download the rom of your choice and its associated gapps package. Put them on your sd card

Boot into recovery. You will need to use TWRP's mechanisms to wipe/factory reset the phone. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Install the zip of the rom and then immediately afterward install the gapps package. I usually wipe the cache and dalvik cache again for good measure at this point, but I understand it is not needed.

Reboot the phone. If all went well, it will take awhile to boot, but you will be sitting at the start screen of a brand new shiny rom.

Set it up and start using it. Most roms already come rooted.

The reason rooting isn't required using this method is because the download mode of the T989 essentially gives you root priviledges.

I've used this process on two T989 phones without any error. If you want to backup your phone, do that in step 3 _before_ you wipe/factory reset your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cresch07:
Usually what I do is just use Odin to flash ClockworkMod then copy the ROMS to the sdcard. Boot into recovery then install zip from SD Card, select ROM. If you use CyanogenMod then just select your device and Google search the cyanogenmod gapps

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoRex:
Keep in mind that some of the frame dropping is intentional... It's part of the power management.

I honestly can't wait until some kernel devs get some custom kernels out. Stock kernels tend to be really conservative. On my nexus 5, I'd see better performance and more efficient power management with custom kennels.

So it's a waiting game at this point.

Good Day Everyone :cowboy:

did anyone of you owned a S4 back at its launch? Then Maybe you can remember the struggle with it's Screen Bleeding/Smearing all over the place whilst scrolling up n down a list. The pitch black background was to blame for this. Not able to light up quick enough. Well I Themed my N9005 with All Backs Black which itself is a lovely theme. But many system backgrounds like the Dialer, Contacts, File browser and Settings etc. are a dark gray color which annoy the s*** out of me. After theming it with All Blacks Black the dark gray background is very noticeable to me. Here is a sample

I intentionally made it a bit more visible for non amoled screens

I've tried replace .png's like tw_background_holo_dark and tw_background_dark but sadly that didn't work like it seems have for many people on their S4's according to [MENTION=3877923]bala_gamer[/MENTION] over at his thread ( i know they try to get rid of that effect in that thread but at the bottom of the first comment he shows a method to reverse the "fix").

I mentioned my desire on the All Blacks Black thread and [MENTION=2147860]Kdio[/MENTION] suggested that maybe messing with the right .XML file would help, but I have no clue which one I have to edit.

I know getting the background to black would cause smearing/bleeding (whatever you wanna call it) but I'm fine with that.

I would be grateful if some one could help me out with this issue and knows what to do.

May the odds be ever in your favor! Peace Out :fingers-crossed:

Oh wait I figured out what you mean as soon as I replied. You can go my way (among others) and use a regular case and mod it to work with your battery. And by mod I mean getting a nail clipper and cutting out the back to leave room for the battery. I bought my case such a long time ago it doesn't show up on my shopping history. This phone is old and I love it. Haha. There's actually a thread on how to do it but it's very straight forward.

I'm not an active user, nor am I a developer, but I find it weird that MiUi user's SMS will need to get through to CNNIC or "Forest Eternal Communication Tech.

Stock Rom 4.4.4 Asia Retail

Rooted

Unlocked bootloader

TWRP 2.6.3.3

So heres how i ended up in this situation. I installed a custom kernel the other day and find it not to be useful for me.

Before i flashed the kernel i made a backup on my rom. I used TWRP 2.6.3.3 but if failed in the middle of the backup. So i used online nandroid backup. And backup was successful. When i find the custom kernel not not useful for me, I decided to restore the nandroid backup i made. Did not wipe anything. During the restoration I noticed that TWRP restarted.Then it prompted me to a No OS Installed (something like that). I wipe dalvik and cache i think. ThenI tried to restore it again and completed the restoration. When it booted, looks like i only did a factory reset, which should not be the case. I restored it like twice but same result. Now i ended up installing all the apps again. I was able to install some of the apps from Nandroid Manager. Only the apps and not the data as it took forever to restore one app, i have like 200 apps. I used TB to restore apps and data but it looks like it only detect 7 apps (all were xposed modules). Im almost done now but I have 2 apps that i want to restore but cant. MagicJack as we can only register the app one time. And i used temporary email when i registered which i already forgot. And also i want to restored one of my google account which i used in registering in some sites. Too bad i forgot the password.

So yesterday I decided to install TWRP 2.7.1.1 (with OTG support). i have installed it successfully. because i want to restore the old nandroid backup. I nlow made a titanium backup so i can restore the apps with data.

Now when i go to TWRP i noticed that the file size of the data is toooooo big. (see the pic)

When i hit the refresh it shows the real size but then it goes back to the wrong file size.

As a result i cant backup because the file is too large for my 16Gb USB using OTG.

Now im using the online nandroid backup again, and backup seems to be fine.
