[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aarmath:
Hola folks!

Thanks for taking time out to go through my post.

I have a Xperia Z Ultra with official Sony Kitkat FW 4.4.2. & it works absolutely fine. So I decide to go the CFW way in the following order:

- Use EasyRootTool v12.1 to root the phone.

- Install Recovery via ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer

So far so good.

Phone reboots into TWRP Recovery from where I installed (After clearing Dalvik cache et al) Candykat ROM. Note ONLY the ROM was flashed. I did not flash GAPPS or any other package ONLY the ROM & hope the phone would boot up.

This is where it gets bad...

- Phone refuses to boot up

- I see the notification/power/charging light now change color to a blinking Red

Anyways, I use FlashTool.exe (flashtool-0.9.16.1) & resurrect the phone, flashing a factory build FTF file (God bless them souls who created it!).

This time I do the whole process again & try CandyKat ROM. Same friggin problem!!! Am I doing something that is not correct? Am I supposed to unlock the bootloader? I checked the forums & everyone seems to be having a good time flashing them ROMs. What gives?

Any suggestions/recommendations are ever welcome.

Warm regards,

Aaron

*EDIT*

My phone is a C6802 model.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
Flash non-Sony ROM, then unpack boot.img from the rom you have flashed, and flash it manually via fastboot or flashtool. I think that your phone is not booting because of wrong kernel.

Oh, and btw. This thread has nothing to do with development section, it should go to Q&A.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Yes you need to unlock bootloader before flashing non stock based roms. Be sure to back up your TA partition before you unlock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
Exactly... How could I forget about that

so what you have to do now is:

flash a FTF with flashtool to get a booting device again

root

reinstall dual recovery

backup TA

unlock bootloader

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techdani:
Hello there.

My LG P500 has a problem with the power button. It works defectively with the screen on/off but it almost doesn't work to turn on the device if the device is turned off. To turn the phone on I need to connect to the computer and only after some time am I capable of turning the phone on (really powering on, not just waking the screen). The phone it out of the warranty. My question is: using a button remapper app, can I turn the device on with another button (like home button or search button)? If so, what app do you recommend?

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdema:
if you power off the phone (not the screen, the really power on) you can power on the phone only with the power on button, it's a mechanical switch, there are no software mods for it

about that we can't do nothing.

if you power off the screen, should use this mod

in every rom to invert the buttons and with search button you can power on the screen

if you are intrested to save battery by night

the device power off = the aero mode on+screen off (you lose 1-2% of battery by night )

[Nokia X] richardyates:
My X isn't rooted and is currently running 1.1.2.2

I want to install the 1.2.4.3 update. It downloads apparently without difficulty, then says the download is verified

It reboots and starts the installation, which consistently fails about a third through

I have tried taking the SD card out, updating with and without a live sim in it, and a complete hard reset - makes no difference at all

Be glad of some help - not a complete beginner, but not too technical either - I am good a following instructions though:)
[Nokia X] Dom3616:
The software for Nokia X is v1.2.4.1.
[Nokia X] richardyates:
Well what is being downloaded describes itself as 1.2.4.3

Have now tried to install from Sd card using recovery. That tells me a bit more. When it fails it says:

assert failed: apply_patch_check ('/preload/appFacebook.apk)

followed by several lines of hexadecimal

Wouldn't mind but I don't use Facebook and would probably uninstall it anyway. After the hard reset I updated all the apps and one was Facebook. I noticed before I updated that Facebook was shown as a cogwheel on the launcher not its logo (I guess it said "com.facebook.apk" but can't be sure

Does that get me any further?

Anyone care to point me to where I can download 1.2.4.1 if not?
[Nokia X] Dom3616:
Why dont you just flash the latest one through Nokia Care Suite?
[Nokia X] richardyates:
Funny how the obvious answer is usually best! Thanks, now running 1.2.4.3, so can confirm version too

Hey there, I flashed a ROM and apparently it messed up my M7 Sprint :( I can't call or receive SMS, also I can't install apps even from OTG cable, I think this ROM is broken. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, I hope it's the latter. I can use the camera, WI-FI and play media files.

I have HBOOT 1.44 and my bootloader says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED.

How can I get back to stock from this stage? I'm super noob every bit of help will be appreciated :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so sounds like your having a rough time. I will try my best for you ;).

First of all some more information please. Boot you phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb. Then in your Fastboot command line type.

fastboot getvar all

And post the output here. Please edit out your serial no. And imei no.

what Rom did you flash and which recovery are you using? Did you clean flash i.e perform a full wipe before flashing, or Dirty flash i.e flash the Rom without wiping anything?

If the phones booting it can't of done anything to serious so let's hope this is an easy fix ;)

Your phone does not appear to be a Sprint m7. As they have product I'd m7wls

Yours has m7_ul so it is international version. If you flashed a Sprint Rom that would certainly explain your problem. Luckily your s-on so shouldn't have done to much damage.

What Rom did you flash and which recovery are you using?

my recovery is TWRP 2.7.1.1

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
your phone is not Sprint or AT&T

you have

product: m7_ul <- this is a GSM with LTE

(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064

(bootloader) cidnum: VODAP304 <- this says it's from Vodafone

So your looking for a RUU with VODAP in the CID ... all I see are some OTA files seems theirs no RUU
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Your firmware also appears to be very old there is a reset zip i think will do the trick.

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/

This reset zip should return you to stock so you take ota updates, then you can update to official kitkat Rom and firmware.

Reroot the phone and install a international based Rom. Stay away from TWRP 2.7.1.1 though you'll notice in your getvar version main is blank. That's caused by TWRP 2.7.1.1. Stick with TWRP 2.6.3.3 to avoid this happening again.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yes just flashes like a normal Rom from TWRP recovery, it will replace your custom recovery with stock and your Rom.

I think your firmware is probably still older than this reset.zip though. I'm not sure if that will cause a problem.

So you could also download this OTA extract the firmware from it and flash it manually to bring your firmware in line with the reset.zip

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_..._p_release_325133_signedlqk8p6c09r7kmir2-zip/

That will require relocking the bootloader though but you can always unlock again after.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
yeah the Guru_Reset requires unlocked bootloader and TWRP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery.

To take the over the air updates it's Important that you choose to install

stock recovery and say no to root in the guru reset Aroma installer.

Good luck !!

[MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] do you know about the firmware will he need to update it to match the reset or will it still update ok as is ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
The firmware may indeed need updated but I'm not positive
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Probably best to do it then in that case, better safe than sorry thanks.

Ok so hopefully this will tell you everything you need.

Download the ota file as well. Then open it on your pc and extract the firmware.zip from it and place it in your Fastboot folder. Then follow this small guide I put together.

Ok so the plan is to upgrade your software to complete Stock 2.24.161.1, Rom, recovery and firmware will all be on the same os version and unmolested stock condition. After which you will be able to update you phone with official ota updates.

Prepare the files, your pc and phone for the procedure. Rename the 2.24.161.1.zip to firmware.zip and place it in your Fastboot folder on your pc. Connect your phone to mass storage with usb and copy the reset.zip to your internal storage/sdcard.

Ok let's get started. Reboot your phone into recovery. And flash the reset.zip just like installing a custom Rom. Select install and choose the reset.zip. Once it's done your Rom, recovery and radio will be back to stock. (if you choose to install the radio, it's optional at this stage as it will be done with the firmware anyway.

Now we need to upgrade the firmware since the OTA update will expect to find version 2.24.161.1 but your firmware is older than that so the OTA may fail to install.

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

<--- case sensitive.

The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

You should now see your new firmware version 2.24.161.1 in the bootloader. And that's it :)

Reboot the phone and complete the Rom setup. You should start getting notifications for OTA updates almost immediately. If not just go to settings>about and check for updates to force it. Take all the OTA's up to the latest and you're done

Completely stock software. If you decide to reroot make a nandroid of the Stock Rom before you root it. And copy it to your pc. This way you can return to stock easily for future OTA updates ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani84:
It worked!!!!!!

Now im running my stock HTC One again. Such a lame Vodafone ROM with tons of bloatware but at least the phone is alive and Im happy with that.

tbh Im now scared of flashing a new ROM, i would like the android revolution or one of those flashy roms but I think im gonna wait some days before making a decission lol. Thanks everyone ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Well done m8, glad you got it sorted. You shouldn't be scared of flashing a new Rom though. The only thing that went wrong last time was you flashed a Rom for a different version of the M7.

As long as you stick with m7_ul roms you'll be fine but it's understandable you would want to take some time to process what happened. It's never fun thinking you bricked an expensive device such as the HTC one.

If you ever decide you want to try a Rom feel free to pm me for some guidance. For now relax and enjoy your working phone :) :highfive:

[MENTION=6008910]Dani84[/MENTION] Hi m8 just seen your PM. Yeah ARHD is a good place to start, it's quite close to stock but with xposed support and sense 6 toolbox.

Very smooth reliable Rom with no major bugs that I know of. I've been using ARHD since version 43 and I just love it. Version 80.0 is on the Horizon (Android 4.4.3).

I think I warned you already about twrp but just incase make sure to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 to preserve your os information.

Download the Rom and drop it on your sd card. Reboot to recovery and flash the Rom from the install menu in twrp. Make sure to do a full data wipe in the aroma installer as your changing from stock to custom Rom.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this...

Can anybody recommend a decent, free RSS reader for WM6? I have an HTC 620, previously with WM5 and used Avantgo, which worked admirably. I have now upgraded to WM6 and can't seem to find a decent RSS Reader which aggregates full articles / text, as Avantgo does not supprt WM6.

I have tried various including NewsMix, SplashNews and Viigo, but they all either seem to download just the first few lines of each article with a 'read more' section that then connects to the internet (setting sof 'NO limit' on article size doesn't make any difference), or connect to the internet automatically when I would like to manually connect, using my home Wi-Fi, to update the feeds and then disconnect the Wi-Fi and know that all of the full articles are stored on my device, so I don't have to use my data connection again.

Ideally, I would like to use the RSS section of Yahoo Go 2.0 which is installed on my S620, but this seems to update the news feeds automatically, when I would like to do this manually.

If anyone can help, it really will be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Munkee
[HTC Excalibur] rwcozens:
I have been using Newsbreak for a while now and think this is the best rss reader. With Newsbreak not the entire article is downloaded and you have to connect ot get the entire document however at least you get most of it and if the story is worthwhile then connecting for a few seconds is worth it.

Try it and download a trial version from Handago.com
