Hi guys, i think that many users have abandoned so many roms to give to MIUI a chance! So, what do you think about to post your homescreens/setting of this wonderful rom?

Here is my setup, i like the neat thing ?

[Acer Iconia A500] rapco:
I´m having issues getting any ROM to work with my Acer Iconia A500. So I can only get it work getting back to stock using EUU update that push me back to Android 3.0.1.

For some reason I can´t update using OTA, as says "Poor network connection... etc", with Logcat I am lead believe for some reason it can´t get to the updates servers, however Google Play download works just fine. Same as regular browsing.

Using APX I managed to load a Bootloader and recovery.

Kernel: 3.1.10-digetx-thor-4.4micro
Bootloader: 0.03.14-MUL
Active Boot Partition: 1st boot partition set as default
CPU UUID:0x04280000741c15617
Updates on .....com

Setting CPU0 & CPU1 to 1GHz...
Done!

Not running HC boorloader, itsmagic not needed

However no ROM have worked so far, I always delete cache, dalvik and user data between try outs. They all end either in the Android Logo or in the bootloader saying "Loading Primary kernel image"

Need help trying to get to ICS, it can be stock or whatever.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickinsav:
Ok, this is my first dev device and I don't want to screw it up.

But, now I screwed up. I was SO comfortable running a new ROM that I messed around and checked on Reactivation Lock.

But then, I got a wild hair to try the TouchWiz 4x5 launcher instead of Nova and booted into Recovery to flash it in.

Now, I get "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock"

Crap Crap Crap....

I've looked at several threads about how to boot or flash to fix, but the solutions seem ambiguous at best.

My biggest fear is that I am running a dev device and I don't want to get the wrong firmware and end up flashing in a retail bootloader or something.

Please Help!

I've tried pulling the battery, booting in download mode but neither of those work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
I've got reactivation lock enabled and haven't had any issues.

Ok..

When did you get the "Custom Binary blocked......" message? After booting into recovery? After flashing the file? What recovery?

When does the message appear? After the Samsung splash screen? After the boot animation? After the device boots completely?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickinsav:
Sorry, I could have been more detailed to save this.

The S5 has TWRP for recovery (2.7.0 I think). I downloaded TouchWiz4x5.zip and restarted into recovery via QuickBoot app.

When the phone starts, I get the familiar Samsung logo, S5 Custom Android screen, not boot animation. It displays for about 2 seconds and then up in the top left it reads:

RECOVERY BOOTING....

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : recovery

Then displays:

Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock

SECURE FAIL: RECOVERY

...and goes no further. This whole boot process takes like three or four seconds from power on to yellow triangle ( I call it the ROMuda triangle lol)

I was thinking if I could force the boot loader to boot normally instead of into recovery all would be fine. It's getting hung on TWRP recovery. Then I could turn RL off. Some of the threads with similar errors have SECURE FAIL: KERNEL, which is not what I'm dealing with. The kernel and firmware are fine.

If I do have to return to stock, then I need to make damn sure that I'm flashing a dev edition so I don't end up with a retail version and locked boot loader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
Sounds like reactivation lock flagged your custom recovery. Can you get into Download mode? Start your phone like your trying to load Download mode. When you get the screen for Vol UP or Vol Down for continue or reboot, select reboot and see if it lets you boot up. If it does, then disable reactivation lock.

If it still won't boot, you should try flashing your stock recovery via ODIN. Hopefully you've made backup copies as there are no official firmware packages for the DevEd. Alternatively, you could ask another DevEd user to give you a copy of their recovery.

Have a look at this thread: [ODIN-RESTORE] [GS5-DEV Edition] Flashable Rescue package
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickinsav:
Hyde, the link for the rescue package is dead. I did make a full backup with TWRP but don't know how to use it to flash via Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
TWRP doesn't backup the recovery. You may need to send a PM to one of the other users who have DevEd.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickinsav:
FIXED!!!

Just wanted to follow up to let everyone know that I have fixed the "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock" error that had bricked my device.

I downloaded the recovery file (I'll update with a link to this file)

I flashed with Odin 3.0.7 (PDA)

It FAILED. (I expected this)

I unplugged USB, pulled the battery out

I put it back in, booted into stock recovery with Power + vol down.

Selected Normal Boot

Everything Fine!

Went to settings and turned off RL. LOL

Restarted Phone with normal Power Off menu - still fine

After reboot, opened SuperSU, still showed QuickBoot with root access

Opened QuickBoot, tapped on Recovery

It booted into TWRP (I'm on 2.7.0.0) - no problems

Rebooted again. No more error when booting to custom recovery

Profit!!!

** the battery pull trick after Odin flash fail I picked up from the Note 3 forums **

** If you have SECURE FAIL: KERNEL, you may need to perform a factory reset during the first boot after battery pull! **

A big thanks to all those who helped me via the forums and PM!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flea0:
I am using the included in-ear headphones that have thre 3 button controls on the left cable. My music app is Poweramp

Since last week all controls (volume, skip track, previous track, pause, etc) started to work very spottily: for a few minutes they work ok, then they stop working altogether.

Is there any way I can test to see if the issue is with the headphones, the software or the 3.5mm jack on the phone?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labpedro:
have you tried the default music app and see if that shows the same issue? If that works fine then I would try uninstalling and reinstalling poweramp to see if that resolves the issue?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
Use a different music app: if the problem persists, it's either the headphones or the phone hardware.

Then use a different set of headphones: if the problem persists, it's the phone hardware.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flea0:
it seems that when it doesn't work, it doesn't work for any app. unplugging and plugging them back in again often makes them stop working or start working again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Enle:
I have an SGH-I747 or AT&T model Galaxy S3. It's not my phone but I have rooted it and put CM11 on it. But when I put in the command adb restore backup.ab in the console it runs most of the apps until com.android.sharedstoragebaclup. Right then and there it stops and my device sleeps even though it was set on stay awake mode in developer options.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You are doing this from recovery, right? If not you probably should. And are you trying to write a full data partition backup?

Anyway, the device shouldn't sleep in recovery. The screen may go off but its just to conserve battery during long operations.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Adb should work fine while booted to recovery. Always has for me.

How exactly did you create the backup, and how are you trying to restore it?
[LG G2 Mini] archer.mekhael:
Hi Guys,

I have been experiencing signal problems with my G2 Mini.

Details

:

Model no:LG-D620K

Software Version: V10-515-03

This problem started when there was an update to the OS and I installed it via OTA.

I have been experiencing frequent disconnection of signal and returns after about 2-4 seconds. I have notice more frequent disconnections while browsing the internet via mobile data. I tried to factory reset and even replace new sim but the problem is still there.

Any of you experienced the same? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Reflash your firmware via KDZ.

[LG G2 Mini] archer.mekhael:
Okay just to update you guys, i reformatted my phone and restred facotry settings but the problem was still there. I tried to research more and read somewhere in tje LG G2 thread about a firmware bug which produces the same result as what im experiencing (frequent disconnection while browsing on mobile data) the solution there was to switch mobile bands from GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto to GSM/WCDMA auto only. I tried their solution and it works like a charm. Never experienced disconnection again, only downside is I dont have 4G which is not that of a bad thing since LTE connection here in our country is pretty limited bit still I will be waiting for this to be fixed. Just sharing so that anyone who experiences this can also try if this fix if it worka for you at all. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jasonmerc:
I recently bought a new Photon 4G off Amazon. It was on stock 2.3.5 Sprint firmware when I got it. Since then, I have flashed Peetr's Hybrid ROM, as well as KDDI radio for use with T-Mobile USA. The battery life on this thing is BEYOND HORRIBLE! Even with data turned off, I get TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE, MAYBE two hours and forty minutes if I'm lucky!

Not only that, but I notice a charging issue with the Photon as well. When I have the USB cable plugged into one of those wall socket adapters, it charges just fine, even if I have WiFi, 3G, or even HDMI Mirror on my TV running. HOWEVER, if I am not using the wall socket adapter, and I have it just plugged into a USB port of some sort through the cable alone, it basically WILL NOT CHARGE AT ALL. It does recognize that it is plugged in, but the battery life will still go down (even on Charge-Only Mode). If I want to charge through USB port, I need to have the phone on Airplane Mode, and I need to have the connection type be set to Charge-Only Mode. After doing that, it will SLOWLY charge. Like I'm talking a percent of battery increase maybe every two or three MINUTES.

I've tried to re-calibrate the battery multiple times with one of those battery calibration apps, but that didn't seem to do anything at all. I've even switched the battery to another previously unopened BF5X battery I had laying around (made for the Motorola Bravo with only 1500 mAh, but they seem interchangeable because I put the Photon battery into the Bravo as well and it worked fine), charged it to 100% before turning it on, and that didn't do anything either. I've tried switching cables to charge the phone to see if that would maybe at least fix the charging issue, but that didn't seem to fix anything.

Here's the current state of the phone (Some of this may not be necessary, but just putting everything here anyway):

-Rooted

-Peetr's Hybrid CM7/Stock ROM v20 (the latest version as of now)

-DX2 Bootstrap Recovery

-KDDI radio for GSM use (I have a SIM in it and I am using this with T-Mobile USA)

-Locked Bootloader

-HF5X Battery, 3.8V Lithium Ion Polymer, 1650mAh min 6.3Wh min, 1700mAh typ 6.5Wh typ, SNN5890A. This battery IS manufactured by Motorola, by the way.

-16Gb SanDisk MicroSD inserted

If anyone has a suggestion as to what I should do now, please let me know.

Thanks,

-jasonmerc

P.S: The Sprint box that the phone came in said the phone was manufactured by Motorol. Maybe I have some sort of foreign model or something? XD I'm trying to upload an image of it, but my PC seems to be having issues with that...

Hello, I'm a technichan.

The AMOLED display is broken and shouldn't get hot. Maybe is the CPU getting hot (normal) and/or the PMIC (it's normal when device is powered on or under charge, but if get too hot it's bad). I suggest to take device to someone that can test motherboard, since the notification LED is connected (together with 3,5" stereo jack) with a different connector than screen+touch screen and doesn't light up while charging or during boot, bad symptom

Hello all,

My S3 currently has TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery and CM11 installed. It was also previously encrypted.

Recently the gapps on my S3 have completely stopped working. New accounts cannot be added and the programs immediately crash upon starting. Deleting the app-data for these has had no effect.

While I can decrypt the phone for regular use, I cannot do the same in recovery to reinstall gapps. Consequentially, it appears that the best option would be to wipe out everything to get rid of the encryption. Unfortunately, it seems that you cannot flash a new ROM over an encrypted partition via recovery. I have reached the conclusion that Odin should be used to reformat everything.

Is this a correct understanding? And how would I go about doing this safely?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
First, backup everything you can. Then try a factory reset. If this doesnt help, choose format data from recovery. (Formatting /data will wipe the internal sd card).

If all else fails, then go for the odin flash. From what I have seen though the factory reset or format should be sufficient.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Be very careful using Odin of you have a 4.3 or newer bootloader. You don't want to flash an incorrect modern or bootloader which can brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Very true, always be careful of this. I dont usually mention it for Odin flashes though because Odin will recognize the versions and will refuse to flash. Its usually flashing via recovery that is the most dangerous in my experience. (But I have seen odin flashes go bad too, its kind of rare, but always be careful with what youre doing.)
