[Moto X Q&A] FAILix:
Hello,

after sitting in my cave, waiting for weeks i am back.

Since yesterday i am getting the US 4.4.4 update offered and it is beginning to annoy me.

Therefore i checked again if there is a german 4.4.4 sbf available.

I found this german 4.4.4 sbf (XT1052_RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip) on a filefacctory moto X firmware website that i cannot link due to restrictions.

Is it safe to flash it on my US XT1053 that is currently running completely stock (EXCEPT THAT I SWITCHED TO ART RUNTIME!!!) 212.44.21.ghost_row.Retail.en.US?

Also i currently have LTE with my phone in germany, so it would be nice to keep it that way

.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do it the most secure and easy way? Maybe also doing some sort of backup?
[Moto X Q&A] FAILix:
Ok,

i just decided to take the US 4.4.4 OTA for now. I don't really miss german, except for the Touchless Control. I will now stick to the US Version until the german Android L SBF is available. I just dont like to wipe the Phone now and then wipe it again in a month or so when Adndroid L is available.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Hello all, I'm very new to Android so please go easy on me… Not too long ago I installed Safestrap on my S5 Verizon. The main reason I did this was to be able to have image backups and maybe try some custom roms. But I have a couple of questions: I followed the youtube video from Root Junky on installing Safestrap and backing up the stock ROM. Everything "seems" to be working ok but what I don't understand is when I boot off the rom slot 1 and then go into Safestrap via the app icon, I don't have "reboot to recovery" enabled. Its grayed out. Why is that? Should it be that way? Second question i have: I'm getting prompted that a new version of OS software is available for my phone. I've tried doing the update but it errors out and doesn't get installed. Should I be able to update to the new OS with Safestrap installed? The state my phone is in right now in Safestrap is: State: installed, Safe system: Not active. To my limited knowledge i think this is because I'm booted off the stock rom. But if Im booted off the stock rom, shouldn't I be able to update the OS??

Sorry if these are newb questions but Im just trying to get a better understanding of how the phone is setup. I understand the concept of the rom slots but still confused over whats going on in the above explanation.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Here is good explanation http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-n...-custom-rom-using-safestrap-on-galaxy-note-3/. Its not for the S5 specificaly but thats not relevant.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Thanks, but nothing in there answers my questions. Anyone else please?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Then might i suggest you search yourself too answer your question instead of waiting for others ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Thanks for the advice. The reason for my post is due to not finding an answer. Hoping to hear from someone with experience.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Yes this is normal. Hashcode warns against installing safestrap while on a ROM slot. See Post 2 in the safestrap thread.. First bullet point: "If you install Safestrap on a rom-slot it will show "not installed". *DO NOT INSTALL SAFESTRAP ON A ROM-SLOT*"

No and no. Because your system is modified, you will never be able to install the OTA that Verizon pushed out. Instead, I would follow and install the stock-rooted NE9 rom by BeansTown106. Follow the instructions in post 2

No problem. We were all noobs at one time. Asking questions is how we all learned :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
[MENTION=4549354]MrHyde03[/MENTION], thanks for the quick reply. How would I avoid installing safestrap in a rom slot? I want to correct what I might've done wrong but pretty sure I followed the video to a tee. Maybe it's worth me installing safestrap over before doing anything else? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Well you would have installed the Safestrap APK from the stock slot originally, then proceeded to install Safestrap recovery. But it sounds like, from what I read in your first post, that you also installed the Safestrap APK on the ROM slot. THis shouldn't be done. Only the stock slot should have anything to do with Safestrap.

But in reality, just about everyone is recommending NOT using rom slots and just sticking with the stock to install new ROMs as there are still bugs that hashcode hasn't worked out yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Is there any way for me to check where it's actually installed? Not sure why I would've installed it in the rom slot or even if I knew I was doing it ?

Just searched for the file and see its here:

Is that the wrong place for it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Well that actually doesn't matter. That's just the APK file from when you downloaded it. Is it in your app drawer?

From ROM slot 1, Go to Settings > Applications > Application Manager > Downloaded and see if it's in the list.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Yes its in my app drawer. I guess that's what I don't understand. When u say "from rom slot 1" do u mean activate rom slot 1 from recovery and then Got to settings>...?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
I checked the above after activating rom slot 1 and yes Safestrap is listed there. It's also listed there if I activate the stock rom. So I guess that means it's in both places? If that's the case what would I need to do to?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Ok. Then you have safestrap installer app installed on a ROM slot, which won't work. The only place you should have the app installed is the stock slot. If you run the safestrap app from the stock slot, you can reboot directly into safestrap and all of that.

I recommend you uninstall the safestrap app from rom slot 1 as per hashcodes recommendation and only use the app from the stock slot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Thanks, that helped. I removed Safestrap from rom slot 1. I know you recommended flashing the rom from Beanstown but I don't feel totally comfortable doing that just yet. Would you know of any way to stop Samsung verizon auto update from being asked? I know it's included in his rom but maybe you know of a hack outside of using that?

Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felipe the Ant:
Flashing a new rom isn't that bad, especially a stock one and with safestrap. You can try it on a rom slot. Otherwise I think there's a module in xposed framework that will disable the alert, among other things you should check out. There's a whole forum here on XDA about it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Will do. Thanks again for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodemasterRob:
Is there a ported ROM available for the Nexus 5 from the Goophone i5s or i6? I looked at these and I'd actually like to try them out to see how smooth they'd run on a more powerful phone. Either that or an equal iOS mimic ROM would be nice if there's one already released. Sorry if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no.

in general, roms that are ported from one phone to another, do not run smooth and are buggy, thus the nature of a port. anyways, why would someone want to go in reverse, go from the latest available backward to something worse? and there arent any ios mimic roms for the nexus 5, its kinda funny that you even asked, as many people buy nexus devices to get as far away from ios as possible. your closest choice would be a miui rom, but thats not the same either,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
You're not going to find a 'iOS mimic' ROM. And it will NOT run smoother if we had it available.

iOS runs the way it does so smoothly on their devices because the software is optimized to best match the hardware. Android has vary different hardware and uses native code way different than ios so you'd get either one of two things. A really really buggy laggy iOS ROM or an ok performing (and this would be with the 805 SOCs or anything newer and better) iOS ROM.

miui is your closest bet or use different launchers with some xposed modules along with these to make your device somewhat look like an idevice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
What he said about MIUI. iOS is a closed source operating system, its pretty much impossible to port iOS over to a Android device and then they'd have to work on getting the App Store etc etc all that working. It most likely won't happen and if it does, I'm sure Apple would send a cease and desist.

What I suggest the OP to do if you really must do that, download a ROM with CM Theme Manager and use this theme alongside Xposed modules http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2631573

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radigen:
Hi, there is no ported ROM currently for such devices as of this month, as the the Stock ROM has only been released recently. But I do have link where to download the Goophone I6 Stock ROM. From there, I think you'll have to work on porting it yourself.

Link for Stock Goophone I6 ROM:

http://www.needrom.com/download/goophone-i6

I have actually done research and this is actually possible, provided only that you know how to extract it's recovery IMG and Kernel. Take note that you'll have to be aware of the MTK platform of your device, as there are a lot of iPhone 6 clones out there running on different platforms.

Anyways, if you are interested in creating a custom mod recovery for this device, I have a link that just might help you:

We can close this thread now. I think either my understanding of what a Goophone is or what I wanted was wrong, but either way I think MIUI would be my best bet if I wanted an interface similar to iOS to switch things up for a while. That's all I was really asking for. Thanks guys.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Back story was basically I went to use my phone that was running dicksteele buttnaked and it was frozen so I did a battery pull and that just froze up at Samsung screen and wouldn't let me into twrp. Sorry if this is a bit all over the place but if you are stuck like I was it may offer some help or at least get you thinking that you may not have tried absolutely everything.

[MENTION=4768143]terpin32[/MENTION] got it back up, thanks for the help and all the suggestions from my post and the others I read here. Read all the suggestions for stuck at Samsung posts. Flashed via Odin all the param tz files I could find no luck. Still couldn't get it to boot normally or into recovery. So I flashed twrp via Odin still couldn't get into recovery. So I tried Phillz via Odin and bam got into recovery.

Now the issue was I had no backups via Phillz. So I tried wipes of cache and davlik still no normal reboot. Then I tried to do a full wipe to load a new ROM and the phone locked up and rebooted again. So I got back into recovery and began just trying to flash ROMS since my options were getting more limited.

First tried Buttnaked and it wouldn't boot same thing as before. Went back into Phillz and tried a full wipe for new ROM again. Froze before it finished and rebooted again. So I tried zens 4.3 and it froze on bootup. Tried to full wipe same result. Thought hey I will give a Aosp Rom a go. Dirty unicorns and everything looked like it was going to boot because it didn't freeze but it also never booted and just hung. Back into Phillz and tried a full wipe again and it frikn worked. Now I was getting somewhere. So I flashed twrp back and wiped everything again. Went to my last backup of DickSteeles ButtNaked and it booted back up just like nothing happened. My sound issue I was also having is fixed since my save was before it went goofy.

Not sure if this will help anyone but thought I would share. I do troubleshooting a lot at work and sometimes it's extreme. I came to the realization that I might need a new phone so I tried everything I could think of. My wifi is a little wonky probably because of the tz files I flashed but I will take that over the stuck bootup.
