common guyz use thsame nokiaX manager to root it usin superSU

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

search for nokia xl windows drivers 1st. or when ur fone is connected to pc, use ur device manager. to search for the unknow device connected either use online. or select target folder if u av downloaded the drivers to ur pc already
[Nokia X] vishalbiswas:
You must install adb drivers first. Download the drivers from the Nokia X Toolkit thread on xda.

Then connect your phone. Open my computer(Windows Vista+) click system properties then go to Device Manager. Find your device in the list and double click on it. Click on update driver, browse for files in my computer. Select the folder of drivers and press ok.

Then try rooting your phone.

Try installing the drivers again.
[Nokia X] eugenerichards:
cheers

so I went in deep and the gave a look into my device manager where my device had an triangle. after checking in my device properties I found that after the update my adb and mtp PID had changed. so I edited the given pid with the .ini file of nokia x driver.. then reinstalled using folder installation.. cheers :highfive:

thanks all for the help.

Installing the update after rooting

What if I've already rooted the device before this update came? What will I do? Is it recommended to really apply this update?
[Nokia X] eugenerichards:
try

I think its worth to give this a try as after the update my phone felt a lot smoother , battery life also extended for me, and a multitasking window was there... never know you may like it or not but just give a try.

you need to flash stock rom via nokia x flasher or care suite then update to this rom

P.S. these rom are not as smooth as lewa os but they are bug free.

[Nokia XL] can't update OTA from ver 1.1.0.6 and 1.1.1.0

I have already tried installing NCS and NaviFirm+, but both of these require logins that, based on my exp, can't be bypassed.

My plan now is to update using Nokia X Flash.

Does anybody have the flash (img) files for the latest update (ver 1.2.3.1)?

I'm testing this launcher right now on stock JB 4.2.2 ROM on Grand Duos, everything is quiet impressive.

according to my primary test, I found that the wallpaper applies to Sim1 only, which is obvious as long as the launcher has been made mainly for Galaxy Grand.

Honestly, I was expecting something more to be done to the status bar, like auto-hide, transparency, etc...

Still an awesome job as a first release for this launcher, nicely done and +Thanks

Hi, I recently bricked my KF and was told that Soupkit is a great utility to fix it.

So I ran a LiveUSB Ubuntu (12.04, amd64 version), installed Soupkit, step 1 and 2 did what they were supposed to do I think, then when I "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" in the terminal, it just says:

bash: /home/ubuntu/bin/Soupkit/files/fastboot: No such file or directory

bash: /home/ubuntu/bin/Soupkit/files/adb: No such file or directory

I know I'm really close to fixing this, any help would be appreciated.

No, use minimal gapps.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korggis:
Use this minimal from BaNKs: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.4/

I tested probably every package around and the minimal from above is the only one that worked.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coyote90:
I installed today [Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+) using the 24.07 release.

It starts correctly, but Gapps are not installed even if i try to install them through recovery.

I tried minimal Gapps 4.4.4 from Banks.

Wipe cache, data and dalvik do nothing.

I can not see Play Store

and can not link to my google account.

Any Idea how to solve this problem ?

Thanks,
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korggis:
Install these: 7-29_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4_signed.zip

From BaNKs.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MP1_:
Those work for me as well. The other packages are too big to fit into the system partition.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coyote90:
Finally, i managed to install it.

note : do not reboot between kitkat and gapps...

thanks for your help.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korggis:
Reboot has nothing to do.

In fact I consider that rebooting after 4.4 new install is recommended because I had the issues with not booting into system, because of the wrong gapps.

I installed that minimal gapps afterwards.
[Nexus One General] yvolk:
I just want to share my notes and links about successful experience of the Evervolv KitKat 4.4 ROM installation on a Nexus One device.

Developer's thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540366

1. I installed BlackRose Bootloader (see link in the first post of the dev thread) and partitioned my SD to have sd-ext Ext4 partition. Actually, I don't use it yet, because it looks like forced moving of apps to SD (or other "cheating") is not reliable, see e.g. here (about similar ROM): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573352

2. Installed TWRP, getting info here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/51

"Direct download" lead me to some spam so I used "Recovery Image Method" to install the Recovery.

3. Resized System partition using BlackRose.

After several not very successful attempts to install both Evervolv ROM and GApps I ended with System partition size = 240 Mbytes, and Cache = 10 Mb (I didn't play with changing Cache...)

4. Using Recovery I installed the two zip files:

4.1. The latest Evervolv ROM from here: http://evervolv.com/devices/passion ( ev_passion-nightly-2014.07.16-squished.zip )

4.2. "GApps Minimal 4.4.4" which is 23Mbytes in size using link from this page: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857

The two ZIPs currently occupy about 231MBytes in /system (check this using "df" command in the stock "Terminal emulator" application)

5. Of course I extensively did "Wipes" before and after any changes, for a case...

6. Having "Play Store" app in the system, I was able to install several other Google apps: Calendar, GMail, Keep...

Result: I'm pretty happy to have my old Nexus One as a temporary replacement for my lost Galaxy S3. I'm even thinking of buying smaller (than Galaxy S3) phone next time :)

Performance is quite acceptable so far. Will report later on the experience...
[Nexus One General] yvolk:
The flight is normal

After two weeks of usage I would say that the new firmware is really usable in a simple "phone-email mode" and I'm happy with the move:

- The performance is mostly acceptable for these my everyday applications, which I installed: Dialer, GMail, Calendar, ColorDict, Pocket, AndStatus, Total Commander, Yandex Maps, Google Keep, Tasker, Volume locker ...

- No unexpected reboots so far. Sometimes I encountered freezes, but occasionally this occurs on my new Galaxy Tab Pro also, so I don't blame the firmware build here...

- I successfully upgraded to the newer nightly build, reflashing system + the same minimal Google apps.

Of course, old hardware cannot fully replace a new one :), so:

- There was no memory to install Chrome, Dropbox and WhatsApp (I guess they require too much RAM...)

- "2048" game lags noticeably :(
[Nexus One General] 239:
Do you use memory tools like Mounts2SD or Link2SD? I use Opera, Dropbox, WhatsApp and many other apps with no problems on my N1 with KitKat :good:

Although Google Maps lags much more than the old version on Gingerbread but that's not the ROM's fault.
[Nexus One General] joecracker:
At first install of the rom, I tried Mounts2SD. The rom was slow and unstable. So I reinstalled the rom and used the builtin Apps2sd with y/y/n (apps and dalvik-cache mounted on sd-ext). Works fine as daily driver.

Hello All,

there are bunch of forums describing how to Flash Roms and or how to Reset the Firmware of Omnia 7 etc.... but none by far has worked for me. I am new on XDA, as well for WP7 phones.

I searched all places like Tsar.com and xda and others, found many links directing to the original Operating systems and firmwares for the phone but none of the links works. All the links provided by Xda-Developers, are through Llivid, and they just download a crappy **** software, but not the program I need.

(apologies for my language...)

Please, is there anyone out there, with valid Samsung Omnia 7 (Gt-I8700) Operating System and Firmware software, Flash program and Guide, which they can share with me so i can retrieve my phone from the boot loop screen to work...???

Awaiting reply.... thanks to everyone in advance... :)

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
From a business standpoint it would be ideal to trade it for the M8 cause you can always sell the M8, pocket some of the cash and buy another OPO on Craigslist, eBay, Amazon etc.

Very true and thats what Ive considered as well. I just worry about it being a Tmobile M8 and not having the EIP paid off..

You see why Im torn..lol

[ONE General] Heisenberg:
If you're running a recent CM based or aosp ROM you've most likely encountered some pretty severe battery drain from Google Play Services (or Android OS as it sometimes shows up as). Below is a procedure that will halt the battery drain, but will not affect the running of your device.

Enter Privacy Guard through Settings/Security or Settings/Privacy, then click Advanced or Show Built-In Apps (depending on which ROM you're running). From here you can select Google Play Services and deny the Wake Up, Keep Awake, and Auto-Start options. Reboot phone. This should drastically reduce the amount of battery that Google Play Services and Android OS consume.

If you're on a ROM that doesn't include Privacy Guard or App Ops as standard you need to take a slightly different approach. Download this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut

Open the app and it should already be in the Activities tab, scroll down to Settings and click on it, that will open up a whole list of different options, scroll down to the App Ops option and click on that, hit the create button at the bottom of the screen.

This is going to add a Settings icon/shortcut to your home screen, click on that and you'll be taken into the secret App Ops section of the settings menu, from there just find Google Play Services and click on it, then disable the Wake Up and Keep Awake options. Reboot phone, no more Google Play Services battery drain.

Please note: If you rely on your location being updated frequently then this method might not be right for you. This method disallows Google Play Services from waking your device every minute to obtain your location and Google Now cards are affected as a result. All other Google services should function normally.

[ONE General] Calkulin:
This guide is a little excessive, the biggest battery killer for that app, especially if you use Google Now, is the wake ups permission, so denying just that will fix most of the battery drain. If you want to go the extra mile, denying the keep awake permission also which fix the other minor part and none of these fixes require root

EDIT: Just noticed you said AOSP, which doesn't have the wake up or keep awake permissions to deny IIRC, so what I said only applies to the CM ROMs
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
While this may seem excessive, the fact is it works. My personal experience was that after changing the things mentioned that don't require root I still had Google Play Services draining my battery. As with anything though, mileage may vary. I'll add a note that the root section may or may not be required.

Forgive me for using a term (AOSP) that most XDA users associate with anything that's CM based. While it may not technically be 100% correct, it seemed to be in keeping with the vernacular used by your average XDA member.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

Sent via Bacon
[ONE General] the Doctor:
A much simple process (that doesn't require root) worked for me:

1. I used Privacy Guard to deny Google Services "Wake up," "Keep awake" and "Auto start."

2. Under Settings > Apps > Running I stopped all instances of Google Play services.

They still come back but aren't killing my battery with wakelocks. It seems to accord with what Calkulin said above.
[ONE General] savahu:
