[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not a lot of options, unfortunately. You can try this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger

Works in some cases on certain phones. Can't hurt to try. If it finds something, then probably worth the upgrade to the paid version to actually recover them. Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharona654:
Thank you for your prompt response! I actually do have the diskdigger app on my phone. Previously, just a few of my pictures got deleted (no idea how???) so I then rooted my phone and downloaded diskdigger, and thankfully it was able to retrieve them. But I did try diskdigger again in this scenario (after the factory reset) and unfortunately, it did not work this time. I did back up all of my pix & videos to my external hard drive recently, so I really only "lost" some pix & videos from the last couple weeks...
[Moto X Q&A] ramarivera:
I was wondering if i can safely flash the 4.4.2 file from sbf (retail argentina) on a 4.4.3 (from OTA) phone?
[Moto X Q&A] M973:
I'm sure someone here can explain better than I can, but I've read time and time again don't downgrade, there is the risk of bricking
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yes, as [MENTION=3348949]M973[/MENTION] has advised, you can not "safely" downgrade back to 4.4.2. The reason is that "gpt.bin" - the partition table can NOT be downgraded. Even if you are able to manually downgrade the rest of the partitions to 4.4.2, you will still have a mismatched gpt.bin, and hence will be at risk of bricking the next time you take an OTA.

Once the 4.4.3 or higher SBF for retail Argentina is released, you CAN safely flash it, without risk of bricking.
[Moto X Q&A] ramarivera:
Is it normal for the ota to have been reelased and still no sign of the 4.4.3 SBF on motorola site?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yes, it is completely normal. Usually, the SBF is not released for days, weeks, or sometimes even months after the OTA comes out.
[Moto X Q&A] aben2amu:
I went from 4.4.3 Retail Brazil to 4.4.2, it is possible, yes, you may have a gpt.bin mismatch but at the end I took the 4.4.3 OTA and 4.4.4. And it is working fine. The reason I had to downgrade was that my 4.4.3 was rooted and with xposed and uninstalling and flashing stock recovery did not work while booting the 4.4.4 OTA.

So it can be done but with precaution.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Define Moto's site.

For example -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ is neither owned, nor operated, nor sponsored, nor connected to moto in anyway. Its hosted, run, maintained by some "guys" who come across or otherwise FIND the SBF files, and post them. SBF/FXZ files do not appear there until they are found or leaked. How long that takes has no pattern.

On the other hand... This site -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images *IS* owned and operated by Motorola. It contains the recovery images for the Developer Edition phones (XT1053 and XT1060... note these images also work for the equivalent Non-Dev XT1053 and XT1060 from moto maker and "retail"). Moto posts the images, but it seems its usually AFTER that particular android version has been rolled out to all models in all locations (i.e. the 4.4.2 SBF for the GSM and VZW Dev Edition X didn't show up on Moto's site until after the roll out to 4.4.2 was done on all carriers to all X models, even non-Dev Edition devices).
[Moto X Q&A] ramarivera:
Thats exactly what i want to do, i have a XT1058 , so so say its safe then?

Yes, my bad, i was talking about http://sbf.droid-developers.org
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
[MENTION=4490921]ramarivera[/MENTION] : It is your phone, so you can do with it as you would like. Keep in mind that although the procedure worked for that individual, if you try this, you are doing so at your own risk.

I wish you the best of luck. :good:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijo_ike:
Hello!

I have an HTC Desire Z stuck in bootloop.

It's an unrooted, S-ON version.

I have tried the PC10IMG.ZIP via SD card route to no avail - don't know if that's because I couldn't find the right RUU. It seemed to get stuck at user data deletion.

I've now downloaded ADB and fastboot and managed to get the device recognised, but I have no idea how to go on. (All very new to me!) I am also having difficulties finding the right RUU/ROM for this. I *think* I found it on htcdev.com as 2.42.405.4, although it's in a tar.gz extension that I am not sure how to extract.

Another issue is that occasionally whilst in fastboot the phone seems to time out / switch off for no particular reason. It shouldn't be a battery issue but I am letting it charge for a bit just in case.

[IMG="fastboot getvar all values"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8rkdIh2NP0w/U-V8uUnkgeI/AAAAAAAAYtY/fJbY5TCFZlg/w372-h287-no/fastboot%2Bgetvar%2Ball.jpg[/IMG]

Anyone has any idea of how to progress? Would reeeeally appreciate it!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijo_ike:
Erratic progress from yesterday:

* Have managed to extract the folder from HTCdev, but I don't see anything I immediately recognise as a ROM and therefore I am still stuck

* Would be happy attempting some of the recovery modes, but I don't understand if they work on S-ON, and if not if there is a way to bring the phone to S-OFF via adb or fastboot. And a hand-hold on selecting a recovery would be LURVLY.

Apolz for being such a noob, but considering I didn't even know what "rooted" meant yesterday, I feel emboldened :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijo_ike:
Next, I tried this system: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572924

I get an error "Can't open /cache/recovery/command" - this is actually an error I have been getting very often

I tried manufacturing the folder and leaving it empty but it didn't make an iota of difference.

When I run the update I get an "Invalid operation" message and then it just reboots (i.e. gets stuck on HTC logo)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findinghomer:
Hopefully someone can help me out. This is verizon vs980. I needed to replace my screen bc I got a dead zone in the digitizer. In my experiences with screen replacement, replacing just the lcd/ digitizer assembly never goes well, aftermarket double Side tape never holds it to the mid frame like factory. So I opted for a digitizer/lcd/mid frame assembly. Simply swap the guts. Everything went well. After about a week the digitizer began lifting from the mid frame (as though it weren't factory assembled) . Little mad about that bc it's the whole reason I opted for that type of assembly. So I decided to return it. This time,I figured if they're gonna lift like that from the "factory" I might as well save the twenty five bucks and just buy an lcd/digitizer this time and stick it to the mid frame myself. I did. Once I was totally done, everything seemed to be just fine. Then I realized the knock on does not Work, and my proximity sensor was acting up. Didn't worry about the proximity sensor since I'm taking it back a part anyway to send this assembly back bc knock on isn't working... So I sent it back. Got a new one, same issue ! No knock on and proximity sensor is acting up. So , suspecting proximity sensor as culprit I unplugged it. Still no knock on. So I then pulled the proximity from the housing and Used a proximity tester app to test it. When its out of the mid frame, dangling, it works fine (still no knock on) but when I put it back into the midframe housing the proximity sensor registers something in front of it ( no its not glue or tape, digitizer is unattached permanently at this point) confused I looked at pictures I took from that very first assembly that I took before returning. I found there is a black housing trim that I accidentally left in the housing I sent back ! It pops into the midframe, then the sensor pops into that.. I suspect this is why my proximity sensor goes haywire when it's in the assembly, but why is my knock on not working?! That black piece I left in housing ? Bad sensor all together? Coincidentally got two bad digitizers??? Rom? (Tried to different same result) stumped. So to sum it up right now, I have no knock on, and the proximity sensor constantly registers something when it's placed into the housing, but works fine outside the housing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_padia:
Firstly, I realise there have probably been a few of these threads so I apologise for opening another but I havent found the answers im looking for. What I'm trying to figure out is whether I can upgrade to the 2.22 firmware on my phone. It was purchased from three (in the UK) but I have rooted and flashed InsertCoin 3.0.5. As a result my firmware is currently 1.54.401.10 which isnt the three version which I believe would be .771 instead of .401. However, my mid is H3G__001 and cid is 06PB10000. What I'm confused about is that I have an unlocked firmware version (I think) but a branded mid. Does this mean I can flash new firmware or not?

From reading around I get the feeling that I might be able to upgrade if I have my mid in the android-info.txt file but I'm not sure whether I can just add this to the file for a firmware package I download

Although im a bit impatient to upgrade to the latest ROM i'm happy to hold out until a three firmware package is released but given i'm already on a custom ROM I wont receive the OTA so I dont know how that would work either. Can anyone help offer suggestions of what I need to do?

One of the cutesy things PAC does is blame every problem on something related to the old PAC-man game (I had to ask the team myself). So the FC refers to the split screen on the old PAC-man arcade game. It's not in the latest builds. Can't help you on the actual problem.

Don't dirty flash. I speak from experience, it really screws things up, to the point that only a complete TPToolbox cleanup fixed it. Suck it up, clear the caches, flash, and you'll find most everything works.

My Evo 3d "loses" my 32gb sdhc card (Generic brand, class 10) randomly.

The sdhc card has been formated in my PC (several times, FAT32), and about 4gb of scattered files copied to the card. Everything will work fine for several hours the suddenly it says "sd card removed unexpectedly". It won't read until I put the card back in the PC, then Windows 8 reads it fine. Put the card back in the Evo 3d, it works for a while, then crashes.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricebun:
Hi again,

I kind of feel bad for almost only asking questions, but this place has been and continues to be a fantastic resource for learning when my search results turn up dry.

I'm running my Z2 on the generic, international .402 firmware with a locked bootloader, rooted via the easy root tool. I have Nut's PhilZ/TWRP dual-recovery installed, but the rest of the phone is stock.

As explained in this thread, the dual-recovery from Nut works on both locked and unlocked bootloaders, so long as you're using the stock Sony kernel (which is the case here). I'm planning on unlocking my bootloader and flashing either Carbon or CM11 soon, but I don't know what will happen to the recovery: will the dual-recovery no longer work because a new ROM (and new kernel) have been flashed? Will this version of TWRP work in its place?

If anybody has flashed an AOSP ROM onto a Z2 and could provide some insight, it would be a big help. Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pasmero:
Hi.

All you have to do is flashing NUTs dual recovery right after flashing your custom rom. Then you should keep your dual recovery.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd0211:
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my RAZR M to install CWM and CM11, and have hit a roadblock. I wonder if some generous soul here might either point out what I am doing wrong or confirm my suspicion that what I'm trying to do is not actually possible. Here's what I've done so far:

The root went fine - I used towelroot and confirmed with Root Checker.

Then I ran motopocalypse as a .apk on the phone to try and unlock the bootloader. Rebooted as per the on-screen prompts' instructions. Then tried to flash CWM Recovery via fastboot and found that the unlock had not been successful. Due to the failed flash, the phone would then automatically boot into fastboot mode. I could get out of it by restarting and using the boot menu, but that was annoying, so I performed a fastboot recovery using DROID RAZR M Utility v1.10.

This fixed the issue wherein the phone always booted to fastboot. Root access confirmed again with Root Checker.

I then re-attempted the bootloader unlock using motopocalypse's shell script for OS X. It connected to the phone, did its thing, then rebooted it into fastboot mode, which showed my bootloader was still locked. Here is the log:
