[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S.Phrenic:
Let me start with, Thank you so much for your time

However, It seems like I'm unable to install the right drivers on my PC for my phone and adb doesn't detect my device (which is strange as CF-auto-root did see the device and worked fine)

I walked through multiple tutorials about installing drivers. Actually have windows detecting my phone fine (I see it in device manager) and I've reinstalled google USB drivers multiple times now, rebooting my PC and deleting drivers and reinstalling them

I've justed factory reset my phone, but that just got me to a Google logo stuck (which I read about in your link in your signature)..

Because adb doesn't detect my device I'm unable to pull build.prop... which means I feel stuck again.

Would you have a direction for me to go towards to continue my journey through Nexus5-Land?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
If you're using Windows 8, 8.1 or 8.1U1 you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement.

Try flashing the factory images in fastboot?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkyJoePD:
Could somebody not just make a flashable zip with the correct build.prop?

Failing that, just reflash the ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S.Phrenic:
It seems like it worked! Completly back to StockROM but the phone works again. Thank you so much for your time.

And you're right, I should learn to read and understand what I'm doing before I do anything with my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the help you've given.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Glad you got it worked out :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkyJoePD:
Glad you got it sorted but, unless you couldn't boot into recovery, you didn't need to go back to stock.

Flashing the correct build.prop or ROM you were using should have sorted it out, without losing any data (you would have lost any system mods if you flashed the ROM again, though).

I'm only mentioning this in case somebody else searches and finds this thread for the same problem.

I've changed the build.prop loads of times on many devices and only once it went into a bootloop. Flashing a build.prop zip sorted it.

Upgrade to KitKat NOTE 10.1 (2014) SM-P600

Hi there I am from Portugal, so the firmware is 4.3 P600XXUBMJ6 - NOTE 10.1 - 2014 (Wi Fi) SM-P600

So i would like to update to KitKat because of the multi user option (isn't present in 4.3)and to upgrade to KitKat, but i've read a little about the KNOX thing and i'm affraid to do something wrong... I've done it before many time with my Galaxy S2, with odin and custom roms.

If i update to the same firmware from Spain it will trigger the KNOX to 0x1? It is possible also to downgrade to 4.3 or it will be upgraded in the future?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Ricardo

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
As title says, my phone is hard bricked now! Only download mode works as long as my phone is connected to usb cable with computer, When i disconnect my phone from computer, phone stops, it seems like my phone doesn't detect battery. Somehow i managed to flash couple of kernals like dorimanx and CM10.2 nightly kernals. But phone still doesn't boot.

I'm now looking for Stock rom , i can find only dead links through google-search. Sammobile.com doesn't show my device model(don't know why?)

I want stock rom .tar file as small as possible(Jelly bean preferred)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
LOL, i was typing l9100 (small L) instead of I9100 (big i) , i had caplocks on. Anyway i found my firmware at androidfirmwares.net.

I really don't appreciate bad thread rating :(

Thanks for reply!

EDIT:, i downloaded the file and flashed the firmware successfully. I got Pass on ODIN.

Phone reboot and Galaxy SII logo was shown. But it went back to POWER OFF mode where Battery charging logo is shown!

Battery indicator is blinking and phone is still won't booting up! HELP!!! It seems like phone won't charge!

EDIT: Got my Galaxy S2 to boot up, here is the trick i used.

* Remove the Battery

* Plug-in Ac charger

* Hold power button

* While still holding power button, quickly place the battery in it's location firmly.

Voila! -Profit! I saw a Android, it did some loading(no it wasn't entering recovery mode) , 1 secs later, i saw Galaxy S2 boot screen logo, BAAM! Phone booted up normaly!

EDIT:3 . I got battery disconnected message and battery wasn't charging! It says it's on "internal stock"

I got couple of "Battery disconnected" messages and now phone is charging normally! Phewww! I thought my phone was dead!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebecker:
I just got my phone yesterday. I had copied the files I needed from my old phone over to my SD card. This morning I copied several files FROM the SD card TO the phone without any problem. However, when I tried to copy files FROM my phone back to the SD card, files would not copy. Any thoughts on why that might happen? Is there a setting I need to change? The card is formatted in exFAT. Might that be the issue?

I'm considering saving my files to my laptop and reformatting the card. Can that be done on the phone? If not, when I reformat using my laptop, what format is recommended, FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS?

Thanks.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebecker:
A learning curve, I guess. :( I'm moving from a rooted phone. I guess I can expect surprises. So...essentially, I can copy TO the phone from an SD card, but I cannot FROM the phone to the SD card. And I can't delete files on the SD card using ES File Explorer (as an example)? The only way to manage SD card files is by using USB or putting the SD into my laptop? Hmmmm. It also looks like apps may not be able to manage its own files if the files are kept on the SD card; is that correct?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iruwen:
All correct, except:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsydian:
All

I have been suffering with poor battery life for many months now, I have tried all the obvious solutions, even going back to a fresh re flash with no other apps and still the same (i.e. barely a day with moderate usage).

Then it occurred to me that I used to get at least 2.0 or 1.5 days with moderate usage for the first 6 months.

I confirmed a while back my battery was no the bad batch.

Anyway finally I source a direct genuine replacement from Handtech for £10.

I swapped the battery (no other changes at all) and voila, I would say back to original expectation

Reflecting back, the battery charging and during use would get very warm (not a good sign) but there was no sign of battery swelling, etc...

With the new battery even after a long first charge the handset was completely cold.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] editable:
interesting...

How long you used the original battery?

I know some Iphones that still last a day with single charge after 5 years of usage. So the battery still keeps the charge. My 3 year old Galaxy S2 still keeps the charge but not as good as new one. So at least Samsung batteries becomes weaker over the time significantly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsydian:
Original battery was barely 1 year old.

I don't overcharge and normally cycle it once every few months (complete discharge and charge).

I am now 20% down after 8 hrs, with the old battery it would probably be about 40% down.

Sideload DroidVPN and tun.ko installer from the appstore.

http play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aed.droidvpn

http play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aed.tun.installer

Open tun.ko, grant su and it will install tun module.

Open DroidVPN and grant su. Go to settings and uncheck the "Use VPN Service API" setting.

Select the server you want to connect to.

Press Connect. That's it.

Notes:

You must be rooted for this to work.

You can test that it works with the free service before upgrading to premium.

You can upgrade to DroidVPN premium service from within the app.

Also, you can sideload the following app to verify your external ip address, and it works great with the FireTV remote.

[XDA Assist] globalir:
Hi all, a bit of a random one, but I have connected a moto G with the stock rom to a usb adapter and then to a usb ethernet adapter and then to a cat5 internet connection.

I can browse the web via chrome and other various apps can access the internet, when I tried to update android, it checked and then said that a new version is available, however when I try to install, I just get a message saying it needs a WiFi connection. I'm guessing that this is something that is written into the os to avoid downloading large updates over 3G.

I get the same message regardless of whether WiFi is enabled or not (but not connected to a WiFi hotspot).

Any ideas?
[XDA Assist] dagger:
You need to be connected to a wifi network in order to download and install the updates.:)

But you can try this tool it provides an xposed module to make apps think that you are connected to wifi.

[General Questions and Answers] astoreldus:
I am begging for someone to help me.

I am not tech savvy, and wish to ask if anyone knows about this trojan, heur:Backdoor.AndroidOS.Wateh.a?

I have a nook hd +, six months old and I somehow got this trojan on my internal memory. I did a search of the forums but there is hardly anything yet, on these trojans, as a family. What are they?

I did a hard reset of my nook hd+ after running Kaspersky internet security. It was Kaspersky that finally named the virus for me.

I had 360 antivirus before and tried to clean the system with that, but could not do anything since it said that the virus could not be uninstalled.

I tried other free antiviruses which all stated the same thing.

My nook keeps rebooting in five minute intervals, I work a lot in the cloud, have I contaminated all of my cloud storage accounts?

A google search turns up nothing on this virus. What can I do to save my nook hd+?

Thank you, for your efforts!

u can try one thing put ur mini into bootloader mode ( pressing the power button the camera button and the reset button all at the same time) and connect it to ur comp before u connect it it should say Serial once u connect the cable from it to the computer it should say USB if it doesnt say that then im preety sure its a hardware problem so hope u still have that thing on warranty

So my problem is that i tried to install kitkat and after rooting,unlocking bootloader and installing cwm i tried PA and OpenSEMC and every time i install any of them it works very good and very stable but then when i reboot my device it gets stuck on sony logo or opensemc logo i even tried kernel wzhy and it also got stuck on its logo and i have installed official kernel then rooted, install cwm and installed the roms again 4 times so far so i don't know how fix this since SUS and pc companion always tell me that there is no update available or that the device is equipped with an official rom and now i have no idea whether to try another rom and start from the beginning or just give up and continue on JB .:crying: :crying: :crying:

Dont worry:) If you want to use KITKAT then you can install Beanstalk or Carbon Roms.These Roms are very stable,fast and have good battery backup.I request you to make a clean install. First flash the latest stock rom and then install root and recovery.After that wipe and install the KITKAT rom you like.:victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganesha27:
First switch back to the stock JB ROM and then clean install Carbon (most preferably) after using the stock JB for sometime.

Your phone needs to be back on stock JB for few reboots to settle down, then installing the custom ROMs won't be a problem for you.

This will be what the G900F international version got about two weeks ago. People report better performance, but it's all unverified claims like always around here. My guess is, and it's just a guess, that this will close the towelroot kernel exploit and get pushed as 'performance' so people update which is a good thing since technically it could be exploited for bad scary things!
