you have to edit the xml file and completely remove the line containing "gpt" in that error. the partition table cant be changed/downgraded once upgraded.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyromaniac1:
I did

still luck. Whatever item it tries to flash it returns the same error. I even deleted everything in between that to system.img. Gives the same error trying to flash system.img
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
try this, its not the same as the utility in the dev forum, its a modified version.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyromaniac1:
Flashed the XML with RSD lite. still the same error. Removed the GPT line and tried again. Same thing.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
Mmk, do not use rsd, use the bat file at the bottom of the directory. You defeated the purpose of it by using rsd.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
hmm, not good!

it looks like the hole phone is r/o when in fastboot. i have seen this before several times and have yet to see any one fix it.

i thought a few of those may fail, although you weren't actually downgrading any of them, they shouldn't have, but every writing and erasing command has failed. i was hoping that didn't happen.

we didn't try a factory reset but that's pointless, as the script tried it and it failed.

i dont think there is a way to fix this. maybe [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] has an idea.

just so you know Sam, the "modified" script i gave him a few post down uses moto fastboot to flash everything.

figured that was the best shot, if there was one, given what he already tried.

thanks
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
Without having read everything cause I'm pressed for time, my gut instinct says this:

USB cable (make sure it's the oem cable that came with the phone...yes, it matters), USB port (usb 2.0 NOT 3.0), or USB driver issue.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
thanks!

i hope its something that simple. since the other instances were unlocked devices running custom recovery (with other mitigating factors), this seems rarely fixable as none of the other causes for a true r/o situation apply here.

im afraid to tell him to try a fdr in recovery, as i have seen quite a few cases go worse lately for no reason.

maybe a simple fix is what is needed.

thanks for your input either way.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
I always try simple before moving on to the hard stuff. To me it feels like a communication issue with the phone but I don't know for sure. It's a guess. I'd start there at the very least.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyromaniac1:
Well a factory reset was the first thing I tried anyway. So no luck there. I've tried it with the OEM cable on my laptop as well as a different cable on my PC. Not sure about the USB 3.0 or 2.0 though. I have a lenovo x230 laptop with 2 USB 3.0 ports so ill try again and see if using those ports with the OEM cable makes a difference.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
You can not use a USB 3 port. It will fail.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyromaniac1:
Nope. Tried it on my PC and laptop both on the usb 2.0 port with the oem cable. Still the same :(
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
I would go an uninstall all drivers, reboot, and then reinstall the drivers and then hook your phone up again to see if that helps. Could be either drivers are corrupted or something else is hosed up.

Since you've tried it on two different computers and it failed, I'm assuming you used the same drivers on both machines? What version of the drivers are you using?

You might want to go to the moto site and get the Motorola helper to bring down the drivers.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
i assume you've tried both RSD Lite and motofastboot?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
he did, several times.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

results from mfastboot are in post 9.

failed writing and or erasing at every step. i made the script for him, he posted the results.

even if a couple would have failed as writing equal code, they all wouldn't have as it flashes each separately.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
Yea, not a situation I've seen before. Almost like the partition table is screwed up somehow so it doesn't know the mount points to flash to. Just for fun, let's try something.

Boot her up in AP Fastboot mode, connect it to USB 2.0, then try this:

o) From a cmd prompt, type: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

o) Then flash the FXZ again either with motofastboot or RSD.

I'm just curious.

Hi,

My Dad owns a Xolo Q800 for the pas one year. No issues until last week, when people reported that my dad's mobile is not reacfhable. My Dad also reported that he wasn't able to make any call.

Issue:

- He uses dual sim mode

- Wheneven he dials a no:, the dialing screen apprears and after few seconds, the call end(no dial tone)

- I can workaround the problem by going into airplane mode and coming back to active mode

- I can again work around by removing the sim card and re-inserting it.

- The signal strengths are good. You cannot find out if there is any network error until you try to call someone.

1. What could be causing this problem?

2. Have you ever seen this problem before?

3. Please help me fix this problem for my dad

Thanks,

Abdul

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8-bit:
Having got fed up with Apple nonsense (even with jailbreaking) I sold my iPad 4 and got the note 12 (p900) - I should point out that this is the 3rd time I'd tried to flee Apple, my previous attempts via the original 10in note, and a windows tablet resulted in my fleeing back to Apple. This time tho I think ive finally found an android tablet that ticks all the boxes. However... I'm baffled how it is that Googles own browser chrome runs slower and less effectively on Android than IOS. Pages with gifs e.g. tumblr, senorgif are slow, to the point of not animating, and pages with videos often won't play when clicked, just buffering/spinning forever.

I found that firefox behaves much better, if still not quite as efficiently as chrome on the iPad. I checked task manager and both apps account for less than 30% max cup usage, and not a lot of memory.

It's not enough to make me jump ship - especially now I can have a 64gb sdcard filled with comics! - but it *is* disappointing. =(
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikespe:
I will have to agree with you on this. But Chrome is slow on my Windows 8.1 Ultra book too. But try Chrome Beta...it is a bit faster on the Note Pro
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Yup, chrome is horrible yet I somehow put up with it lol. I keep a copy of Dolphin on my gallery as well which performs better on some pages. With some tweaks chrome can be improved a little (google "speed up chrome android" and experiment with flags, especially setting the max tile one to 512) but still will crumble on some pages.

A good example of poor performance on chrome is trying to scroll on Android Central before the page finishes (it's even jerky after).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikespe:
OMG! Android Central sucks on Chrome! I use Tapatalk when on that site...or their app.

Hey guys!

I finally did it and downloaded the liquid smooth's and device's repos. But now when I type 'make otapackage -j4 -i' after 4 hours(!) of compiling it stucks at a certain file and then I can't move the mouse, type someting or anything, Ubuntu 14.04 freezes and I have to press the power button to force the PC close.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
You might have a corrupted gvfsd-metadata. Do pkill gvfsd-metadata, rm -rf ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata.

And compiling time depends on the computer specs and can easily take more than 3 hours on an average core processor(i3).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
Okay I'll try it today I'll report if this worked.

I have an Intel core i5 with 3GB Ram and I think that it's quite long...

Sorry I may have made a mistake because I copied from the image. If you want full changelog you can right-click the image and press 'open image in a new tab'
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
Did you type make -i (ignoring the errors?) If you did that, the zImage might not have been built because of errors and the boot image is not built due to this. It might also be because of fs size constraints. In your out folder of your device, check if you have the kernel and the root directory.

And in the py file the typecasting might have been done wrong since it says "object of type 'NoneType' has no len()"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
Ιn the out folder I have the root directory but not the kernel... And yes I typed -i because there were many errors and I couldn't build the ROM. So what do I have to do now? Please note that I'm beginner and I don't know very much for ROM development...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
As I said the error must have been in the kernel and ignoring that will not build the kernel, you will have to fix it manually the errors you face in the kernel building stage, post it here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
Sorry I don't know how to do that :crying:

A question: Can I build the ROM with existing kernel image(boot.img) from another ROM? I don't make changes to kernel...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
Yes you can, in the boardconfig.mk add a flag

TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := $(DEVICE_FOLDER)/prebuilt/kernel

Be sure to define the DEVICE_FOLDER at the top of the make file.

Although its deprecated. But it'll work in your case if the kernel is a kitkat kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
I tried it but again no luck :( What am I doing wrong? It produces all files and folders except kernel!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
I believe you forgot to remove the kernel directory flags from the board config.mk. attach it here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
Ok I attached the file found under ~/working/device/samsung/golden. I hope you can help me. I created the folder prebuilt and I put there a zImage. Is that right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
You named it as zImage and specified it as prebuilt/kernel. It should be $(DEVICE_FOLDER)/prebuilt/zImage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
Firtsly is everything alright with the boardconfig file? So should I rename the file to zImage and that's it? And also which difference there is between kernel and zImage and which should I use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
Everything else seems fine... The path must be the path to your kernel or what ever you renamed it as.

I'd recommend you try and compile the kernel alone to check if it work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everreadybattery:
I compiled the kernel alone and it didn't show any error. It made a zImage file successfully. So where is the problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
Trying doing a "make" without the -i and see where the build stops.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can't because an error stops the building. It says: Error in file "...." in line "....":Unused variable "....". When I type again with -i I can see this many times ignored and I don't think an unused variable is an error or I should fix every error similar to this because there are too many of them! :eek: Maybe a command to skip these not too important errors and to stop at more important ones like error building a file or so?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I managed to compile the whole ROM. What I did was make otapackage without "-j8" and I flashed the zip file produced. Now Im stuck on the bootlogo. I dont know if it is kernel related but I flashed another kernel with this ROM too and it didnt work. :( :( What should I do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
If bootlogo and not the boot animation then it means it's a kernel related issue. Or probably a screen resolution mismatch. Try a dmesg or a kmsg or last_kmsg all found in the proc folder. Pull it using a recovery and trace your error

Hi all, this thread is only for the sole purpose of porting TWRP on the duos variant n7502

I've seeked help for a month now and found a dev to make one, however, I think he's given up on the project but published the tree to github.

The project was first meant to port CWM but we had problems we cant solve so we shifted to TWRP, the first problem's gone but another two came.

Here's the github link:

https://github.com/OUDhs/android_device_samsung_hl3gds

Here's a log for the TWRP:

http://d-h.st/9yq

and Here's a screenshot of the TWRP:

additional info:

The TWRP boots up but the screen is messed up (as shown on the screenshot); Touchscreen works fine, I can navigate through the recovery but since the screen is messed up, I have no clue as to where I was going. The first problem we had was we can't mount any partition. Shifting to TWRP solved that but the /cache still can't be mounted.

We badly need a dev. Hope someone takes over.​

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] brightertimes:
Hi

I have a very much loved o2 xda exec, however when you have it in 'laptop' mode so to speak - the screen part of it wobbles if you move it, it looks like it's something to do with the swivel part between the screen and the unit, currently it's not too bad enough to make me think it's not right - It used to be tight and not do this.

So I was wondering is there an easy way to fix this? I would hope that it is just a screw inside that needs tightening??

It would be great if anyone could help out a fellow xda user :)

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pug:
turn the screen through 90 degrees. Look down on the hinge and on the left hand side you will see a tiny screw. Tighten this, if necessary, add a little locktite to the thread.
