[HTC Desire 601] Reenuip:
Hey, guys. I've finally made an account here after clumsily stepping into the world of custom ROMs. I recently got a Zara_CL on Virgin mobile and somehow wound up in the same position as the OP here. I never updated to KitKat due to the update failing with a custom recovery image. After unlocking the bootloader, I installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 and tried to flash InstertCoin yesterday without making a backup (couldn't mount certain partitions and now I know why ^_^). It took many hours to figure out what I did wrong and to make many plans of action to fix those mistakes.

I have re-locked my bootloader and the RUU has allowed me to get the stock Jellybean ROM back on my phone. I tried before while still unlocked and the RUU made no progress at all.

From what I've experienced, S-OFF and Unlocked are sort of interchangeable on a device in this stage of being cracked. One can flash recoveries with S-OFF and a locked loader, or with S-ON and an unlocked loader. I'm still learning after a few months and a successful root, s-off, and rom flash on an ancient EVO 3D. The high of that success drove me to buy this phone and try some magic on it, but my conjuration skills are quite unpolished.

To OP: Relock your bootloader with fastboot command "oem lock" and then run the RUU you found here. This should resurrect your handset flawlessly as it did in my situation. Don't punish your son, but teach him to be more careful. We both learned the hard way, but I guess I learned more quickly.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I had to always lock bootloader before running ruu. Would always get same error otherwise. This was for s-on. I can't remember my one experience running ruu while s-off.

How to lock bootloader? I only know how to unlock.
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Get into boot loader and type "oem lock" into adb/command prompt.
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
You're phone needs to be in fastboot mode.

You need adb on your computer and to run a command prompt from your adb folder. Plug your phone into the computer and from the command prompt type "fastboot oem lock" and press enter. You're bootloader will now be locked. If you get a message about too many flags or something and a security warning afterwards, don't worry, it worked.

Every time I hold the home button down, the shortcuts used to come up for google now, quick memo, and voice control. I would use it often in order to get screenshots without having to use the back physical buttons. now whenever I hold down the home button, it takes me straight to google search and the shortcut icons don't even show up! is there are way to reset this or make them come up again?

I had downloaded nova and downloaded screen off, so maybe that messed it up; i've since deleted nova and screen off.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] muzicman82:
Hi all,

I have an SPH-L720 (not a SPH-L720T). Everything was fine with it on NAE firmware and CM11 nightly.

Recently, I used the upgrade available on my line to get a family member an SPH-L720T S4 for her line. When it activated, it kicked my phone off, but then I just did an ESN swap online. No biggie.

My S4 is back on the original line. So I went back to stock to update profile and PRL. Everything seemed fine. This was 3 days ago.

Since then, I have had poor signal or signal cutting in and out like crazy. I even thought it could be ROM related so I flashed back to Stock NAE and was still without signal in a place I KNOW had decent signal for a full day.

Given I have been on the road and drove 700 miles the past couple of days, I can't say what signal should be. However, most of the time my phone has said "NO SIGNAL", two of my family members have S4's and have had at least a bar or two of 3G.

I have seen digital roaming quite often, and also LTE has been great in high signal strength areas. I have seen non-roaming 3G, but not very often.

Any idea what could cause this?

Also, I know this is ROM related, but why is there no longer an APN menu to switch or edit them in CM11? I am actually wondering if the phone isn't switching APNs properly.

I am going to go back to stock right now and see what I can find out.

Hi,

I installed activesync 4.2 but unable to sync the device. When I connect the device, I can see the activesync icon in the system tray turned green and stated "Connected". But I was unable to bring up activesync when I right clicked on the icon and select Open Microsoft ActiveSync. also, when i selected Explorer, i encouterd this error: Critical communications services have failed to start, Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again.

When i checked on Task Manager and I found out WCESMGR.EXE wasn't started (WCESCOMM and RAPIMGR were both started automatically). So I went to activesync program folder and double clicked on WCESMGR.EXE. it showed up in the Task Manager (processes tab) and disappeared immediately. As this is the company provided laptop and it is entirely locked down in security, so i suspect some "thing" has prohibited the WCESMGR.EXE to be executed (althought i am the local admin!). Just like the MSN Messenger, i can't launch MSN Messenger fr my laptop.

Anyone especially those system admin can shed some light on how can i unlock or launch the activesync (WCESMGR.EXE) successfully?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
rooting will not wipe your data, however in order to root you must have the bootloader unlocked, and if your bootloader isn't unlocked then unlocking it will wipe your data and factory reset your phone, if this is the case for you then your best option is to download Helium from play store and backup all your data including game data to cloud, if you backup to internal storage, be sure to copy it to your computer before unlocking, as unlocking will also wipe your internal storage.

next, unlock your bootloader at HTC dev if not already done, skip this part if your already unlocked.

then flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 ( I know there are newer versions, but this is the most reliable and stable)

enter twrp recovery and backup your rom, upon exit it will say you are not currently rooted, do you want to install root, simply say yes, this is the easiest way to root.

you will need to complete the root setup upon booting into your rom and update the binary file, its all automated, just follow the SuperSU installer when it pops up, and when given the option to update the binary file, select automatically update in TWRP.

Hello All!

I got my LG L9 (P765) brick and need your help. It wasn't unlocked or rooted. Also it has original ROM.

It happened after ordinary phone call. The only thing i saw was "LG" lable. After all common methods i tried hard reset and got dead android on the screen with red triangle. Some hours later i flashed new boot, u-boot and recovery but nothing happens. The KDZ method was done today with no positive results after V10 and V20 instalations (even with hard resets). Custom recovery upload results in "Security Error" on title screen.

So guys please help me. What else can be done to make it load at least recovery? Is it possible to root or unlock such device?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] En Enu Elan Elua:
If you have locked bl and device is nonrooted you can service your smartphone in LGe services.

L9 is hard to unlock, but you can go into LG recovery by power volume up and home, smartphone will be connected as recovery. By adb you can writte "adb reboot oem-unlock" to enter fastboot mode and unlock bootloader. If your phone will just restart, try this method few times. After you unlock bootloader you will able to flash custom recovery and chance kernel, install custom rom etc.;)

[Xposed General] maja_ldm:
I downloaded the most recent Xposed apk from the official thread and installed it on my Galaxy Ace 3 GT-S7270.

The phone is not unlocked so it is using the stock recovery, the firmware is S7270ZSUANB1 (Samsung with Kies).

I have SuperSu installed and the phone is fully rooted (did this by flashing CMW from computer).

After rebooting Xposed declares to be not active and asks me to reboot again.

(I don't know if exposed has to ask for root privileges but if it had, it didn't.)

I read elsewhere that the phone rom has to be deodexed for Xposed to work, but the official thread says it doesn't have to.

What am I doing wrong?
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
First of all, check that Xposed has root permissions (open the SuperSU app and check there). If that doesn't help, try checking the FAQ. If you still can't find an answer, post a screenshot of your "Framework" screen.
[Xposed General] maja_ldm:
Today after a problematic system recovery I picked up Xposed once more and installed it without problems.

I just didin't "install" it after installing the downloadable apk.
[HTC One X] maserati2011:
Hello guys, I'm in big trouble i will try to be as clear as possible, first i had a good working htc one x running official htc 4.2.2 no root nothing just the latest official OTA, after a while i got bored and decided to root it and install CM10.2 i had much trouble while rooting but at the end it was succesful and i managed to install cm10.2 from recovery mode, after that was finnished it kept hanging in bootloop, after several manual restarts i managed to get to get past the bootloop to the main screen, after spending a few weeks on cm10.2 i didnt like it and wanted to get my device back to stock so i can sell it but here is the trouble: i searched on youtube and found the video: Unbrick / Unroot the HTC One X: Back to Stock - Cursed4Eva

I followd every step correctly, and downloaded what i thought would be a compatible ruu but at the end of installation the RUU gave me the message that it must abbort the update because i have a different version or something, and honestly i just cant seem to figure out which ruu is the correct one for my device.

here is some info about my device and i hope you guys can help me out:

version-main: 4.18.401.4
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
There is no ruu ! Get a nand backup from the collection in the GENERAL section
[HTC One X] maserati2011:
I'm sorry could you be more specific? Why is there no RUU? And how can I install a nandroid back up? I can't even flash custom recovery on it. I don't care if there is no android 4.2.2 RUU for it, I'll take jellybean RUU or ICS RUU as long as it's compatible with my HOX.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
As i said there is just no ruu ! In the general section is a collection of backups, have a read there. All info is there, i won't type something here that is already written down.

You can't install a different ruu when you have a s-on device. Only s-off can do that but s-off is NOT available for the HOX (unless you find a shop that offers the service) so it's a nandroid backup or a custom rom. Downgrade is not an option.
[HTC One X] maserati2011:
any idea how to do that? because basicly i have deleted everything on my HOX and installed the original recovery and relocked the bootloader so now when i turn on the device it goes straight to bootloader, what should i do now?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Unlock the bootloader. Flash philz touch 5.15.9 recovery. Mount the sdcard inside the recovery. Unpack and place the nandroid backup in the correct folder (check the collection thread for info) flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup via fastboot. Perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid backup.
[HTC One X] maserati2011:
seems a bit confusing, would you be kind enough to walk me through it via skype? you dont have to open cam if you dont want to just watch me and teach me what i have to do.
[HTC One X] maserati2011:
Alright after a few hours I managed to finally get the device working I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the recovery, and flashed CM11 (I lost hope trying to find the right Nandroid backup) and everything works correctly like a charm.

(May or may not be the right place to put this)

A place to discuss and attempt to implement Android app compatibility for Sailfish OS.

Now I'm not too knowledgeable about this kind of stuff, I'll need to do more research before I'll be able to help in any meaningful way.

UPDATE 1:

I have been working on this lately, and can "boot" into CM11 and get to the setup screen, but the touchscreen, power button and potentially everything else doesn't work as it's still using the sailfish drivers. The only command needed to boot into CM11 is just starting surfaceflinger via "./surfaceflinger" after navigating to /system/bin/ . I did however modify the init.rc file to turn on the android specific services. which I've linked below.

UPDATE 2: using ssh via USB connection breaks when "booting" into CM but using ssh over WiFi does not.

Modified init.rc file

UPDATE 3: Quicksilver is a chromium client for sailfish, and if you build it with NaCl enabled (its currently disabled) then ARChon MAY work. The link to the git repo is below.

UPDATE 4: It's getting close now. Chroot-ing into the android emulator image while also using it's renderer is almost seeing the light of day and we need your help. All info found in this thread.

ARC - App Runtime for Chrome OS, is promising, if anyone knows how to port it over . I can't find any source files, other than ARChon. Could it be this.
[Sailfish General] EnErGy[CSDX]:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/a...410.206.0/docs/getting-started-open-source.md
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
I take it Archon works as it works through Chrome, which has similar stuff to Chrome OS.

EDIT: I mean theoretically you could install all the relevant repos to install chromium and then get archon working that way.
[Sailfish General] EnErGy[CSDX]:
Archon is just repack of ARC extensition to make it work under desktop Chrome.

installing chromuim to Sailfish os is no trivial task.
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
I was just stating theoretically speaking. I wasn't suggesting someone should do that, I understand that its not a trivial task. I guess we should wait till they release all the necessary files then, unless they don't plan to then we're back to square one.
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
I thought I would try and see what happens if I pause lipstick (kill -STOP 950) , and start surfaceflinger (./system/bin/surfaceflinger), and see what happens, turns out it shows that "static-y" image like when you're booting into sailfish.but since sailfish doesn't use surfaceflinger then nothing happens it just stays with that same screen. stop surfaceflinger, and then run (kill -CONT 950), and then start interacting with the screen again, everything goes back to normal.

If I can find out the bare minimum needed to install and run an apk, it could work, but probably won't.

If someone knows what services are needed in order to either boot into android, or to get an app to run, please say so.

EDIT: I can now get to the setup screen of cyanogenmod, but that is it, touchscreen doesn't work and ssh connection breaks. But its recognised as an unauthorised device in adb.

[Sailfish General] nh1402:
Checking the source code documentation still reads "A small set of shared objects can be built which are part of ARC currently. A fully running system cannot currently be built." They could provide an update and release the shared objects at Google I/O later this year but I wouldn't hold my breath.

apkenv is now compatible with sailfish (thanks to krnlyng, vakkov, thp and all others involved). I will create a thread in Sailfish general to say how to install as well as provide a list of compatible games, once I get it installed.

Also there is potentially another much easier method of getting android app compatibility working. Chroot the android emulator image and modify the renderer to support wayland. Please go to this dev thread to help.

Hardly a discussion if there's no replies to both those threads, but anyway shashlik sounds like a lighter version of the chroot method with similar problems. But once it's functioning we'll see if we can get it ported over, replacing the kf5 dependencies (which is just to show notifications in the host machine and getting contacts from the host machine to shashlik, I think) and replace it with sailfish equivalent. And although I don't use it, I would also like to take a stab at porting the xposed framework over into shashlik just for the hell of it, but still need to wait for shashlik to finish and then see if we can even get it working in sailfish.

Turns out /dev/input/eventX doesn't respond when running the "cat" command when booting into CM from Sailfish. But I don't know what that means, and how to get it working.
[Sailfish General] pkuronen:
Can you use python / C to read events? There are examples on the internet on how to read structured event data with python / C (still cannot post any links due to my low message count).
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
AND WE HAVE INPUT. No app was necessary, all that's needed is to change the group for /dev/input/eventX from video to input, before you try booting into CM (Cyanogenmod). You will also have to modify the init.rc file to start android serviceshere is my modified init.rc file (from Nexus 5) for reference.

This was tested on Alpha 14 on the Nexus 5

but it should still work on other versions and other phones.

1. Modify init.rc to start android services at boot time. (only needed to be done once)

2. Restart

3. In terminal navigate to "/dev/input/"

4. run command "devel-su find . -name 'event*' -exec chown :input {} +" (this resets every time you restart the phone)

5. In the terminal navigate to "/system/bin/"

6. run command "devel-su systemctl-user stop lipstick.service; ./surfaceflinger"

8. It should now boot into CM from within Sailfish

CAVEATS:

Once you boot into CM from Sailfish, it's not always possible to get back into Sailfish.

If you do get back into Sailfish then you will NOT be able to boot back into CM, unless you restart the phone.

WiFi and Mobile Data will only work in CM if it's been turned in Sailfish before hand.

You cannot call or text from within CM.

This is still a WIP

[Sailfish General] pkuronen:
Congrats!
[Sailfish General] pkuronen:
From what I could tell from your log is that there seems to be selinux issues and perhaps due to that lots of writes fail. Perhaps you could try disable selinux for testing? If the system is anything like a normal linux just edit /etc/selinux/config and set SELINUX=permissive .

Also the /system mount failure seems that the device stated in /etc/fstab for /system mount is not available.
[Sailfish General] pkuronen:
Did you get those problems in check?
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
I have not gotten round to testing it yet, started working a few days after your last message, so have been busy. But I have made a howto via piratepad, to specify the modifications to init.rc to get to the same stage, so it's not device specific to the Nexus 5.
