[General Questions and Answers] jtapp77@gmail.com:
Hello XDA forum! I am new here but I have enjoyed reading through many of the great posts you have available. I have a problem and I'm hoping you can help me. I'm learning quite a bit about the android OS and dabble in some minor tablet repairs but I still consider myself a noob, especially after reading some of the more technical posts! I have a couple of tablets here that are locked up after too many pattern attempts and I'd like to do a factory reset, but I just can't seem to get them into recovery mode. All the normal keystrokes yield no results. For example:

Tablet 1 is a 7" Noria by Chromo that identifies by my computer MID-X15. It's recognized in device manager as being installed with correct drivers. To the best of my knowledge USB debugging is not activated as I have tried both Multi Tools and platform-tools adb, while the device is not shown on either program. I have also tried numerous different key combinations from a powered-down state (vol - & vol + with power, just vol + and power, just vol - and power, and repeatedly pressing different combinations both at and before the manufacturer splash screen). The internet has proven to be less than helpful as I'm on my 3rd hour of forum surfing. I have never flashed a tablet before and I'm not precisely sure if can be done without USB debugging on or without being able to access the system. I am perfectly willing to purchase a TF card and attempt the process but there's not a ton of information about this relatively obscure little tablet.

Tablet 2 is a Klu by Kurtis. It is also a 7" tablet and I have the same problems with the USB debugging being off. On this device I can get into the screen with the android on his back with the red exclamation mark, but the recovery console never starts. Numerous hours of surfing and countless attempts at alternate keystrokes have also yielded no results.

If someone would be so kind as to offer a few suggestions or point me in the correct direction I would seriously appreciate it. Thank you so much!

(close to) 24 hour bump. Hopefully someone may have a suggestion for me. Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] jtapp77@gmail.com:
One more bump. Anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
Unfortunately, after researching both tabs, I have found that neither tablet is very good quality.

Chromo Noria - This is a very well-known tablet to be problematic for no reason at all, and once this problem occurs, nobody has discovered how to retrieve the system. :(

Curtis KLU - This also is not the greatest tablet ever. Fortunately, I've found this thread for you to take a look at - it contains instructions on how to boot ClockworkMod.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] jtapp77@gmail.com:
Thank you for the link, thenookieforlife3! I will read over that and give it a shot. I realize these tablets are virtually worthless. It's one reason I don't mind experimenting on them with some more aggressive techniques if any exist. The biggest problem is just getting into the darn things to do anything (aggressive or not, lol). Perhaps something in that thread will give me a technique I can use.

I'm still open for other suggestions as well. These are throw-aways so I'm willing to get creative. I'm wishing there were jumpers or, heck, a couple traces i could short out with a screwdriver to force it back to a factory setting, lol.
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
I can see that. It's always fun to be aggressive every once in a while.

Don't we all wish that there was a hardware method to factory restore our devices? :laugh:

Am I right?
[General Questions and Answers] de_ellefer:
I too have been tinkering with a chromo noria 7" tablet in my spare time, as my son got one of these last christmas and its been stuck in a boot loop for no reason for almost six months now. Today I decided to play and discovered that adb could see it while it was boot looping and tried adb reboot recovery command and to my surprise it booted the recovery menu. That being said, does anyone know what I can flash from there cuz a wipe/factory reset does not fix the loop. Any advice would be happily welcome and im sorry if I'm posting wrong in any way. Hope at least my findings are helpful.

Guys I need a help, my S3 touchscreen is not responding, the screen is normal but when I touch there is nothing happen, I think the problem is when i want to install CWM using odin, when the flash completed the screen got unknown error. Then I flash using stock ROM and no luck, also booting time is take a longtime not as ussual. what should I do?

I was trying to root my install a new rom on my g3. but i flashed a custom recovery that changed my number from lg-d850 to k400l or something like that.

what did i do i went on xda to find a solution. but i made a big mistake i tryed to change my number in the build prop from k400l to d850 but i guess i didnt change all the lines in the prop i needed to change so when went to reboot it went to the lg logo screen and then straight to DL mode anyone have this problem?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPUL33:
tryed this but what i think is wrong with my phone is that i have a model number of D850 but a F400L s\w so when i try to flash the D850 dll and the F400L s/w it fails. The flash tool worked when that custom recovery i flashed changed my model number to f400L so i just got the f400l dll and sw file and flashed it. but when that happend i got the Korean version of the g3 not the att version. so i went to try and change the model number in the build prop I for got to change everything else like the sw info too. So now i have two different model sw versions. Do you think i could mod the dll or the tot file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kinextions:
Just this past week I got a system update for my GS4......if I'm rooted and have a ROM from negalite should I ignore this update? How can I delete it.

Would it help the phone or hurt it????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flynhawn2002:
Try using a root explorer and go into your device and change your otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak, this file is found in the device etc security. This tricks the update into thinking you have the latest and it wont update.

Edit:

Here is a step by step guide (please give props to [MENTION=3295263]chzeckmate[/MENTION])

1. First be sure you have superuser access (root access). You can use a root checker like this one to be sure

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ootcheck&hl=en

2. Download and install ES File explorer. You can get that here...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.pop&hl=en

3. Open ES File explorer and grant root permission. Go into settings and set your preferences

4. Tap your device menu

5. Tap Tools

6. Tap root explorer.

7. The root explorer menu will pop up and you'll tap Mount R/W

8. Fill in all the bubbles for RW and tap OK

9. Navigate to the root of your device (At the Top you'll see the root directory is listed as "Device" or "/")

10. Tap the File named "etc"

11. Tap the File named "security"

12. Long press on the otacerts.zip until the check box appears and put a check in it.

13. Tap more

14. Tap properties

15. Place check marks in the read and write boxes and Tap ok

16. Tap rename (on the bottom action bar)

17. Rename the otacerts.zip file to otacerts.bak and tap ok

18. Tap refresh (bottom action bar)

19. Pull down the notification curtain and accept the update. *Some devices reboot here. (if the notice isn't in your notification bar just go on to the next step)

20. On your homescreen open your device menu and Tap system settings.

21. Scroll to and select System update.

22. Tap Update firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHighAlert:
It's been a long and wild ride, but I think my device is toasted.. sorta.

I unlocked via HTCDev, installed TWRP, rooted. All went well.

Wanted to test GPE ROM. Downloaded and installed 4.4.3.

It had an OTA. Flashed stock recovery to apply it. BAD MOVE!

Ever since, my white hboot is now black, says version 3.18. This is the GPE hboot.

Trying to manually write a new one with dd fails obviously, read only.

RUU fails, saying error 159 (Wrong RUU for this device. It isnt?)

RUU flashing hboot, "unknown error 99" - assuming because S-On.

Firewater s-off FAILED before this happened, because my device just wasn't compatible with it.

Now running the GPE hboot I tried it again, and it just force closes and kicks me back to a terminal after typing in "Yes"

Only AOSP based ROMs are booting now.

TWRP (Multiple versions) as well as PhilZ CWM both fail on most other roms with "set_perm: some changes failed"

And then kick me to a 2-3 bootloop back into recovery.

What are my options? Thanks guys.

Use the same method in which u flashed the black hboot to flash the stock hboot

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

And if not try flashing gpe stock rooted rom which should boot since your still using that firmware, then try and s-off with sunshine.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsoscott:
I'm in pretty much the same circumstance. Tried going GPE - installed GPE ROM, flashed GPE Recovery to get the 4.4.4 update and now neither GPE nor Sense Roms will install or boot. I had S-Off before, but I think the GPE Recovery put security back on and now I'm back to S-On.

I've tried GPE, Stock Sense, and custom Recoveries and Firmware - nothing is working... I'm stuck running CM11 at the moment.

If only there was an S-Off method that would actually work under CM.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] llamas612:
Right now, it seems as though my main internal storage is full, whereas my 2nd partition ("SD Card") has free space. Every time I try to install an app, it tries to install it to my main internal storage, and thus it gives me an "insufficient storage" error. I used to be able to go into an app on the Apps area of Settings, and attempt to move the app to or from the "SD Card". IIRC, at some point Android decided to drop the idea of having two partitions for internal storage, and now doesn't allow for that type of movement between partitions. The problem is, now I can't seem to install any new apps unless I uninstall my old ones.

Is there any way I can selectively install apps to my "SD Card"? Also, is there any easy way to simply combine my storage? I don't see the point in having it separated out.

I'm running Paranoid Android 4.44. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Kitkat removed the ability to move apps to the SD card for whatever reason. There's a couple patches that allegedly fix this issue in the play store but I've tried most of them and haven't gotten it to work. I also can't find a way to merge the internal storage and SD card partitions. I would ask the developer of link2sd for more help on this.

Like [MENTION=2800887]Cryptecks[/MENTION] said there comes a point in time where the older devices start to show their limits and unfortunately this is one of them. Sorry...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] llamas612:
Ugh. Well thanks at least for the response. It seems pretty silly that this is an issue. I guess i'll see what I can find patching wise, but man, this is gonna be annoying. My main partition is only 2 GB or so :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
same here, 2.34 GB on my main apps partition which also houses cached data. CM11 will allow me to move some data from certain apps to the virtual sdcard partition that is there with 10 GB and 8 GB FREE SPACE!

merging partitions in ms windows is so easy, why is android so lame with this? I might have to get a new phone

[Google Chromecast] gianptune:
Do we have a way yet to set a static IP address for the chromecast? Mine are rooted and using eureka rom. My router doesn't have an option to set IP address based on mac address, and there are no custom FW available for it. In know in normal android, we get options for the device to have a static IP. Is there an option maybe for that hidden away in the Eureka rom? Or are there any other suggestions to get this accomplished?
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
I guess you could use dhcpsrv, the PC program a lot of use to force the Chromecast to use a desired DNS without changing the router setup. Just set it up to recognize only the Chromecast MAC address. But you'd have to have dhcpsrv running each time you powered up the Chromecast.

My question is just as simple as the title of my forum. What are the possibilities of the sony smart watch firmware being tweeted to be using via Bluetooth to the iPhone. I have nothing against android. It's an sold OS. But for those that already have iPhone but are also sony fans would love the opportunity to have the smart watch for the iPhone. At least able to read messages an notifications. If anyone has an answer to this please let me know. There has to be someone out there as interested as me about this. The firmware is able to be hacked so the chances should be high right?

I am looking for any software which count my out going sms

can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pikachu:
i thought normally there would be a count of SMSes at the bottom of the sent folder.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mbirth:
Smaato Cost can do this. But I don't like their strange UI which makes their app somewhat sluggish.... but the features are nice. And you can define different targets with different SMS costs ...

pocketAlarm also can count SMS, but there you can't track if it counted correctly also there is no way to define different costs for different target numbers. And I don't like their today plugin as it resized very often for me... and the whole app is too all-in-one for my taste.

As far as I read here, DKToday should also do the job, but showed some problems on Windows Mobile 2005 ... battery drain afair.
