hi,

i probably flashed the wrong rom on my device (yp-gi1cw) and it always boots to recovery now.

i can flash with odin the stock rom. it shows the flash went ok. but it doesnt boot to android. and still keeps to boot to recovery cwm

i can only flash the stock cwm recovery or 5.0.2.7 and see that it really flashed and changed.

i tried original recovery and rom but no luck.

plz help me solve this issue.

thanks in advance.

edit: maybe some one can upload a backup of his working system (with cwm) yp-gi1cw device and ill restore it ? will it work ?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
You do realize that this is a forum for GP4.0 and 5.0, which are also not that popular, right?

As for the issue, this sounds a bit similar to what I've encountered when I was first flashing my 4.0. Even Odin won't work properly. Recovery always says some error about /data. In the end I found that 1) I used the wrong PIT file in Odin and 2) after using the right PIT file I still have to manually wipe /data, regardless of these /data errors.

That's all the help I can give for now. Good luck with your 4.2.

eBay vendors are reporting they can't find unlock code for AT&T XT1045. Doe anyone know reliable place for unlock code?

TIA
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonkr:
Sorry, I appreciate this is a really old thread, but I wanted to share my experience of trying to SIM unlock a Moto G 4G locked to Tesco. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone to use TB and AdAway. I tried to get a SIM unlock code from various vendors on eBay but all gave refunds as they couldn't find an unlock code.

I paid £10 to Tesco but they couldn't get a code and said they passed it on to Motorola. I heard nothing so went direct to Motorola Support. They confirmed my IMEI was correct but said they did not have an unlock code, a subsidy code they called it. They were polite but constantly said they had no code. I pressed them and eventually they told me they couldn't help as I had rooted my phone and they couldn't access my SIM unlock code. I said I had applied to unlock the bootloader and asked had my phone told them what I had done to it? Did they not have records of each code for each IMEI? They ignored that and repeated they didn't have a code for me.

Now, call me cynical, but I suggest Motorola are refusing to help or deleted the SIM unlock code when I applied to unlock my bootloader, as to my understanding the two are not linked on the phone and unlocking the bootloader has no effect on the SIM lock. I have passed the matter back to Tesco but am not going to hold my breath.

My advice would be to look at SIM unlocking your Moto G first before anything else, then unlock the bootloader after that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryburton:
hey.

just a quick message for anyone else that runs into this issue. i also had problems unlocking my moto g 4g (xt1039) locked to tesco mobile. i had rooted and unlocked bootloader, and was buying unlock codes from various sellers on ebay, but each one said code not found for my imei and they refunded me.

eventually a seller messaged me saying that the regular server had rejected my imei, but that an unlock code could be obtained from 'motorola not found server' for £2.99. so i paid the cash and got the code about 1-2 days later. can't post a link as this is a new account, but seller is mnz technologies.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunder_47:
Hello. I have been experiencing issues with my phone, rooted and flashed with the Criskelo 6.9 Rom. I have been playing around with this phone for two reasons. My phone had been experiencing battery drain because of google play services, and none of the solutions found by googling seemed to work. I researched and found that installing google play services 5.0 would solve this issue. However now I am experiencing random reboots. After flashing to Criskelo, I found a solution that involved the wakelock terminator, this worked for about a day until my phone started rebooting again. Removing wakelock terminator and clearing the data causes the reboots to start again.

Is there help for this issue? In summary: Google Play Services battery drain fix causes random reboots. Flashing to custom rom did not help.

the random reboots ( for me) are caused by stamina mode, try turning that off, but as for the reboots i got no clue why they occur, might be becuase of the locked bootloader of the c6606 model.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Digs:
HI,

I have have an HP Deskjet 460 mobile printer with a wifi 802.11 b card. I wish to go from the JasJar device directly to the printer via wifi (not bluetooth, I am doing to see if its a better connection). The wifi card works as I have had a successful test of laptop to HP 460 printer, ok !

In my device I go to Comm Manager >> Wifi settings and try and make a connection to it. I select Computer to Computer connections available, then select hpSetup and run connect. The I wait for the connection that never happens

The default settings by HP are

SSID - hpsetup

Mode - Ad hoc

Tx Rate - Auto

Channel - 4

BSSID and MAC are device specific ( i think)

The issue is the status never goes to connected, it hangs on "connecting to network"....never an IP address allocated...

Any ideas...

And to answer your question, the used encryption is:

Secure signatures (512-bit ECDSA)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d2616ae26016:
Something strange is happening to my Nexus 5 (rooted, stock ROM & kernel): it doesn't download some kind of files, regardless of if I'm connected to a Wi-Fi or to a cellular network.

When I surf the internet through Chrome everything works fine; pages and images load correctly. However if I try downloading, for example, an .apk, the download is not successful, it doesn't even start. Similarly, I can perfectly chat on WhatsApp with no problems, however I cannot download photos or videos. And again, Twitter loads everything but pictures (I can see all the tweets on my home but I can't see any kind of pic, not even the profile pictures). Also, I don't get tweets notification. I already cleared the cache of every application, and I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Twitter, with no results.

This happened in the past because of a wrong configuration of my APN, but since this happens on Wi-Fi too, I cannot explain the cause. Can you help me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psuter:
let me say one thing first: i don't want to discuss if resetting the battery status database helps in any way to prolong the battery life of a phone or such, i have a different issue with the battery management under android:

i have taken the guts out of an AN1 Smart Watch and used them as a tiny touch panel in an appliance. in order for it to run without a battery i have connected a little voltage regulator that converts DC12V to DC4V and feeds it right into the + and - Pin of the battery contacts. This way i can start and run the device wihtout any battery in it, which otherwise is not possible when trying to run it from USB power, even though i haven't seen the device pull more than about 300mA at most.

the device turns on and runs just fine, but what's bothering me is, that the battery charge indicator is counting downwards even though the voltage stays constant and obviously notthing really is being discharged since there is no battery.

i don't want to re-insert the battery and run from usb power as the battery will certainly fail within only a few years and i would really like the whole thing to run a bit longer than that.

is there any way i can re-set the battery countdown or disable it entirely? if disabling the simulated drain is not possible, resetting it should be possible while the device is running. i don't want to reboot the thing every day just to reset the battery stats or anything like that.

hope somebody can help me out here.

i currently have the AN1 running to see what's going to happen when it reaches 0% ..

regards

pascal
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psuter:
so here is what happened... the battery was constantly "discharged" until it reached 15%. it then showed the "please connect your charger" message but stopped dropping the battery level.

would still be nice though have a possibility to prevent this message from appearing. even though it is not as critical anymore, as the device will be running 24/7, so unless there is a power outage, this message only appears once and that's it.

i have attached a screenshot of the battery statistics with a power supply connected in place of a battery..
