you need to bring up the ui for typing.. on my old windows computer at work, i find an empty space on the same page that adb is located on your computer, then i left click and press the shift button on that empty space, then i get a few option that pop up, and i press the option. but im using windows from like 2004-5, lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhayden:
Wow, that's really old.

I saw one of the commands available is 'adb push 'file name', should I try that?

Sorry for the troubles!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup. first do "adb devices" to make sure adb sees your phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhayden:
Push command won't work. Neither does the sideload option. It keeps on saying 'cannot read sideload'.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
is the rom zip in the same folder as adb is located? it should be if not. and did adb see your device in with adb devices?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhayden:
Yeah, the ROM is in the same folder as the adb, and device is recognised as in 'sideload' mode.

Flash gapps
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
"first option, adb push a rom and gapps to your phone(while youre in recovery), then flash it."

as [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] said, gapps(google apps), you need to flash them. the google apps are not open source, they are owned by google, and cm isnt allowed to add them to the rom. but you are allowed to flash them separately :)

Nexus 7 2012, 4.4.4

Bought it for my 10 year old girl. I am not paranoid, but want to keep her and the device safe. Looking for recommendations on app, settings, on how to find the device if lost, and how to keep her and the device safe.

1) losing the device

++ I installed the android stock app Device Manager (think that is the name) and also Lookout. They both provide a siren to help find the phone and a gps locator map. but obviously this must only work if the device is wi-fi connected and has battery?

++ lock the screen with password after 2 minutes.

++ owners contact infor (cell phone numbers) on lock screen

-- anything comments or advice?

2) virus protection

++ installed Lookout.

3) Safe surfing

++ nothing installed

4) parental controls

++ nothing installed

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carlyle_f:
Try AVG, if I'm not mistaken it can also locate a device, I am sure that it emails you immediately to notify you if the Sim has been changed.

EDIT: there are many apps that will email you a photo of whoever fails to unlock the device, I'm sorry I cannot provide links or names but I have tried a few, they work. You can google this one.

2. If you d/l only fron google Play store, no virus protection needed

If your daughter goes to school, then there is a huge chance there is some kid at school that can flash her device. A few points to think about.

1) If your installing these apps with out her knowledge, you can't get mad at her if she has someone flash it.

2) If your installing these apps with out her knowledge and she finds out, you've now broken her trust of you. As a previous rebellious teen girl this is a big mistake, something she will not forget anytime soon.

3) My daughter has to read daily as well. What I do is read the same book as her. We make it fun. While I make dinner we discuss the book. If I find she hasn't read it yet today, I suggest she go do that while I make dinner.

We don't use technology as a punishment or reward in our house, it's just part of life. My daughter (an yours probably too) can just go to a friends house and surf/play/whatever with out my knowledge. It's more important that my daughter trust me and know that I trust her.

[HTC Droid DNA] iNeff:
Well when my upgrade came last may, I looked at the S3 and DNA. I got the S3. And then the power button stopped working correctly and just got a replacement and the headphone jack didn't work. And I was going to call Verizon the same day for another replacement, then It fell to the ground and cracked, so now Verizon wont take care of it. So I went online and ordered a used droid DNA. I really hope its worth it when it comes, and will help tie me over until May 2015 to my upgrade. It will be here next week and Im so excited for it! :D
[HTC Droid DNA] Drunkula:
I'm rather pleased with my DNA. Got it to replace a Droid RAZR that was driving me bonkers. Anyhow I think it's a pretty good phone considering its age.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
The DNA is a sturdy device. I was in a car accident and it fell in water and still works. Well the power button failed because of other reasons.

Edit: when I mean fell, i mean it was completely submerged for about a minute
[HTC Droid DNA] lebnan60:
DNA is a great phone. Some good support behind it, also. running the current 4.4.4 liquid smooth and the phone is doing great. Dropped it in the tub once and the only issues i have now is the headphone jack, but i can probably do a better job cleaning it out and it'll work.

The only down side is the battery life. I work my phone quite a bit and have crappy reception at work, but i typically use 2 full charges a day. fully charged in the morning, down to 15% by lunch then charged again by 3, and empty by 11.

[Sony Xperia ZR] Mario.D:
What did you do to end up like this?

More info are needed.

Did you unlock bootloader and flashed some custom kernel/recovery?

Skickat från min C5503 via Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZR] Rulez93:
My explanation

Well first my phone is locked bootloader but had been rooted using towel root. Then this bootloop start to happen after im just try to reboot after install of the mod from the Xposed . After reboot , bootloop happens until now....
[Sony Xperia ZR] Mario.D:
Ok then i have no clue.

Ill guess easy way to fix it would be flash firmware with flashtool without wipe.

What mod was it you installed?

I have not used xposed framework for a while now.

Skickat från min C5503 via Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
looks like towelroot was not installed properly.

you might have to repair using SUS / PCC or flash stock ftf using flashtool
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
you have three options

1. give us logcat (if you have enabled usb debugging before bootloop) to give you a solution to recover with no wiping data.

2. or install recovery (if you haven't already) and try wipe your data from there

3. OR just flash the whole rom again from flashtool using the ftf file :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
I seem to be having 100% wake lock according to better battery stats , and its just killing my battery. I work 12 hours so its hard for me to scour XDA searching for some things as I am just learning how to use BBS ( can hardly understand it this moment). This happens on any custom ROM I have used so far ( aokp or carbon variants and pure cm). I am running an old boot loader I think and baseband from the 4.1 stock. If anyone has an idea I would be thankful for the help. The native XDA app seems to not work for me at all and I'm getting tired of squinting on my phone using the browser.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
It is very possible you just need to update your firmware. I seem to recall at one point cm/aosp roms began requiring up to date base firmware due to bugs caused by running on older builds.

If you're not sure what version yours is, open Terminal Emulator and enter this:

getprop ro.bootloader

It'll tell you your bootloader/firmware version.

Also, it can be a big help if you attach the bbs log here. (Im not that experienced at using bbs either, but there are people here who are very good with it.)

Make sure its logging kernel Wakefield too btw. I don't think its set to do this by default, but I don't remember for sure.

[Sony Xperia L] Deleted member 4736004:
Note

: Tested on stock 4.2 kernel only.

CAF may require some specific changes which I may do in future.

Q. What is kexec?

kexec is feature of Linux that allows it to live boot a new kernel over current one. This is equivalent to fastboot -c *cmdline* boot zImage initrd.img, but without PC and fastboot.

Q. What is kexec hardboot?

Kexec-hardboot does kexec with a full reboot so that all the hardware can be properly reinitialized. It stores new kernel to RAM, reboots the device as usual, and loads guest kernel from RAM.

Q. What is the use?

kexec hardboot is an essential component of multiboot solutions like multirom. Also it may be used for testing a guest kernel without having to write flash emmc.

Q. More details?

here and here

Defconfig:

:

CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_HARDBOOT=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_TAOSHAN=y
CONFIG_ATAGS_PROC=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y

Usage:

kexec --load-hardboot zImage --initrd=ramdisk.img --mem-min=0x85000000 --mem-max=0x87ffffff --command-line="console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3"
kexec -e

or use this script (Modify zImage and initrd.img location: default is /sdcard/kexec/*)

Q. How to determine kexec parameters?

Read this first.

These are highly device specific:

Here's the cat /proc/iomem for taoshan:

80200000-87ffffff : System RAM
80208000-80ee60d3 : Kernel code
81004000-81306de3 : Kernel data
88100000-88dfffff : System RAM
8ec00000-8effffff : System RAM
...

KEXEC_HB_PAGE_ADDR

: 0x88000000

Logic: Address where 1st block of SYSTEM_RAM ends - size of ram_console (we don't have ram_console in stock kernel so 0 here)

Result: 0x87ffffff bits = 0x88000000 bits = ~285 megabytes

MR_KEXEC_MEM_MIN

: 0x85000000

Logic: This is the where zImage and initrd.img are loaded in RAM. It has to be in the 285 MB of System RAM.

As you can see first block of SYSTEM RAM spans from 0x80200000-0x87ffffff.

Result: 0x85000000 bits = ~279 megabytes

Thanks a lot for your work
[Sony Xperia L] ezzekl:
Correct me....

Correct me if my idea is a bad one... but with this is there any chance to change kernels on Locked BL? This could be some kind of trick to load a kernel for CM or KK, just tell me =)
[Sony Xperia L] Deleted member 4736004:
As of an update by Tasssadar, only host kernel needs to be patched. So if you have a patched kernel, you can run any (patched or unpatched) kernel over it. In a nutshell, this means only the kernel you're running with your primary rom needs to have this patch.

I'm afraid this requires an unlocked bootloader since stock kernels don't have support for hardbooting kernels. Although I've heard of a workaround by insmoding a module.ko (z1 forums), I'm not convinced of its functionality yet. I hope I'm clear.
[Sony Xperia L] ezzekl:
So, lets not kill the hope of modding LBL's hahaha. Good luck bro! Ty for the answer.
[Sony Xperia L] dywerd:
On Locked Bootloader we need a ramdisk hijack. Here is what dh.harald said abou that: "I try to implement 2nd-init method (Motorola Milestone/Defy/etc) to hijack ramdisk. With this method, we can change stock ramdisk, and we can boot CM with stock kernel... "

And there is a link to that thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2653896

Is it possible to make CM work on locked bootloader (see the Xperia SP thread...), but I think it will only work with CM10.1 or CM10 'cause it is JellyBean 4.1 or 4.2. If someone willing to work on it..... I really appreciate it and I'll do the test!

Sorry for the offtopic!

Not all stock ROMs come as a 4 piece. In this case the ROM you want comes in one piece. There's nothing you can do to make it officially into 4 pieces. However you could extract the bits you want out of it.

You can't extract PDA and CSC I believe, they are incorporated in the ROM. Phone should be the modem, just take out modem.bin. Bootloader is a bit complex.
