You shouldn't have installed an outdated recovery version to begin with. That is just asking for trouble.

Stay away from Toolkits, they cause more problems than they solve. Anything a toolkit can do, you should be able to easily do manually.

Hi guys,

Although this is my first post, I have been following xda-developers for a few years and have some experience installing custom ROMs.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos (I9082). I installed the custom rom developed by [MENTION=3117667]pawitp[/MENTION] using instructions in this forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563557

I installed the "20140709" version of the ROM (https://goo.im/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0/) successfully.

I was then able to upgrade to the next version (20140813) without requiring a data wipe.

I just saw that the 20140917 version has been released and flashed it using CWM.

But I see that the phone is stuck at the boot screen. I've already tried wiping cache/data before-and-after reflashing the zip. No luck.

I'd like some advice on how to proceed.
[General Questions and Answers] Arch9:
That newest update probably needs full wipe
[General Questions and Answers] savishy:
The dev's notes mention that a full wipe is not required, for the record.

As I mentioned, I did a full wipe i.e. deleted contents of /data.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
Wich firmware has less bugs and better battery life?

For me the custom kernels as trinity are consuming battery very fast.

If I relock my bootloader and then restore my TA partition with stock kernel and deodexed custom rom will I encounter any problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSoulxxx:
.133

Bigger is better but since .133 is carrier-specific ROM so you will dont need that much

And Trinity kernel is battery-friendly, you maybe set the wrong setting. I can squeeze out 20 hrs of battery life with extensive workloads (Email, phone call, FB, Twitter and game...)

To relock your bootloader, you just restore the TA. It will automatically lock the BL (Require stock kernel and if you backup TA in 4.2/4.3 ROM, you must downgrade to 4.2/4.3 and restore TA then upgrade to 4.4)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
Bro can you tell me how to setup trinity kernel? Maybe I messed it up with a bad move. I came from a G2 and battery life was amazing up to 17-20 hrs in stand by and 6-30 or 7 on screen. Using 30% brightness, full use of fb and whatsapp, few calls and H+ and LTE network.

And here the things just not work as good as before :( can u help me?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
I don't think .133 is just carrier specific - otherwise, why would Sony then bothering with releasing firmware dedicated kernel sources? :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
well, the 133 FW cannot be rooted directly by Towelroot. You have to downgrade the kernel to 108, root then upgrade the kernel.

So the kernel in 133 is not just carrier specific, it has changes in it that stop root.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmalone:
I've had my G3 about a month now. Overall I love the phone but there are a couple small things that are still bothering me.

1. Contacts display nicknames with seemingly no way to turn that off.

2. ICE contacts appears to break contact sync. I know there is an app from the Google Play store that will fix it however I just want to remove it completely.

3. Why is it that Google Hangouts seems to have more functionality than the stock messaging app when used in conjunction with my LG G Watch? You can't reply at all with the stocks app. You can only open on phone. Should be able to reply by voice and use quick replies. Only reason I am using the stock app at the moment is because Hangouts is getting to bloated and you can't attach sound files.

Any body have any workarounds for these things?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmalone:
I thought of another one to bump it. My iPhone was smart enough to know that if I wasn't playing music using A2DP then to use the mono phone audio connection for Siri and driving directions which would allow it to come over my car stereo regardless of which audio source was selected in my truck. And while on iOS 6 I used a jailbreak app called Aloud that would read and notifications to me over bluetooth when connected to my car stereo.

Anybody know of a tweak or app that will do the same. I have used Sound About but unless I am missing a setting it seems I can only pick one or the other and not conditionally based on whether I am currently using Bluetooth audio or not.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmalone:
Ok, so another one.

It seems that when editing group membership of my Google contacts on the phone it will remove the contact from the Google default "My Contacts" group. Since this is the only group I show in my phone list it makes the contact disappear. I then have to log onto my GMail account and go to contacts and edit the contact there to put it back in the "My Contacts" which is a little trickier than it sounds.

I am really disappointed with LG's implementation of the way they manage Google contacts on this Android phone. This is three problems I have directly related to contacts. I really hope there is some sort of update to fix these issues soon.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
Hi everyone, ( Newbie here)

Pardon me if something similar has already been posted before. I have major issues with my Nexus 5 which gave up on me a day back.

THe phone wont boot up and is stuck at the google logo.

I went through a few troubleshooting steps with the google technicians. We tried recovering it but that didn't work either, nor a hard reset. I dont see the dead android show up after which i can wipe the entire data and do a factory reset.

The USB Debugging feature on my phone was switched off :( so now if i try to unlock the bootloader using adb i can't. It says erasing but does nothing. I waited for about 25min and gave up on that.

I downloaded the stock android OS from the google website and also have adb and all the drivers installed.

Is there anyway i can get this thing up and running again? Anything at all?

Please help :(

fastbooting

Well the only thing I can come up with is to boot your phone into fastboot. First turn off your phone then press the power+volume down or power+volup+voldwn and then there should be a screen with an android laying on its back. If you can get that far well continue but if you can't then you can send in your phone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Sounds like you're trying to use adb commands when you should be using fastboot commands
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
I tried doing that but the recovery mode wont work. I only see a blank screen when i try to get into recovery mode. I dont care about my data anymore. I just hope for the phone to come back alive. How i wish the usb debugging was on :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Usb debugging is irrelevant when the phone is off. If you hard power the phone off by holding power button for like 10 secs, try holding just volume down while powering up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
I'm sorry , i used this command

Try LG flashtool. That is your only hope. Link in my signature.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
Could that void the warranty of my phone? I need the .dll file and the ROM or firmware whatever they call it for Nexus 5 32gb ( lg d820) I have downloaded the lg flash tool.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
It could not void your warranty. This is how LG would reflash your phone. You will find lg flashtool, dll for D820 and the firmware for D820 32Gb in my lg flashtool thread. You have to use the converted firmware. Dont worry about that it is converted. It was tested by numerous people and never got any negative response.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
So i will need 3 things now..

1. LG Flash tool

2. The right .dll file

3. Firmware for D820 32gb NExus 5 (converted firmware )

Now i have to figure out how to use them
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Yes, but you dont have to figure out anything :D. I have already figured out and made a thread about it. Just check my signature about LG flashtool. You will find the guide there.

Are the D820 DLL and Firmware files for 32 gb ? Does that matter?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
What's the worst case scenario here? O_o

Will Google still replace it for me? :P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Worst case scenario is that LG flashtool will stop with Erase command failed error. Google will replace your phone does not matter what happen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
I don't see a reason why i shouldn't try it then . Once i am done with all this i will have to install Android 4.4 on top of it right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
You dont have to install anything to your phone. If lg flashtool will be successful then your phone will be like that when you first turned it on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
The converted one says USE AT OWN RISK . Why so ? I will have to download the 32GB one right? One more question.. what are TOT's ? or TOT file? And there are 2 files inside the 32 GB one.. Which one should i download? The first or the 2nd?

THanks :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I should remove the use at your own risk message since it have been confirmed that they dont do any trouble. Tot is the file format of the LG's firmware file format.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Make sure your phone connected and says download and port is set to com41. Select dll and tot file for your device. Click on the arrow(start) in lg flashtool to start flashing. This part maybe sound weird but this is how it works. When LG flashtool says READY!! in the com41 window after you clicked on start then you have to remove the usb cable from your phone and connect it again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Unplug the phone. Press and hold power + volume_down key until you find your self in fastboot mode. Select Power off in fastboot mode. Hold down volume_up key while you connect usb cable
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
Did that, went to fast boot mode and powered it off while it was unplugged .

came back to download mode screen after i plugged in the device and then LG flash utility detected it but then said download fail with the same error.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I am out of ideas what else we could do. You cant unlock bootloader because it stuck at earasing data. The guy from LG maybe right. The phone's motherboard have to be changed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
But i am wondering why i am getting that error. What does it mean? What device is it talking about? Could it be something wrong with the drivers not being installed properly? Or could it be the phone itself? Or a wrong dll or tot file for my device? But im sure i downloaded the right files
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
You have done everything right. Your phone phone simply does not want to boot into download mode. That is why you get that unknown mode error.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunst:
I did get into download mode but and then the next screen where the firmware actually updates. But that didnt happen. Sigh :(

I do have access to fastboot and twrp recovery

I can start the adb sideload but it never gets past 1%

Also get stuck on pushing files of any size.

When in twrp, the phone shows up on my pc (MTP device) but i'm unable to add files to the phones storage

"The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"

I've tried different cables and usb ports, but no dice.

Is there anything I can do?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
I recently updated from my stock release date firmware to NC 4. I'm not having any problems persay, but..I notice on starts it starts with 5 bars of LTE (and always has in this area) then drops to 3 after a minute or so. Voice and data work well. I believe what's happening is it starts on 700mhz then switches to band 4 exlte. I'd like proof though. It certainly would seem as though im on XLTE as I'm getting around 60-90 mbps down..and 25-30 before it switches. Given that I'm indoors, it's no surprise I'm at 3 bars.. Also, nice upgrade, it seems to not drop from LTE to 3g and stay there quite as long. Usually pops back in less than a few seconds. Voice quality is unaffected.

I was wondering is there anyway I can see what band I'm currently on? I'm not-rooted and running stock firmware.

Secondly, the most recent update seems to have made the default text app somewhat slow..Ie opening a long text takes a second (this was instantaneous) and scrolling through it is somewhat jerky. Not the end of the world but it was seamless beforehand. I'd consider another texting app off the playstore but the stock one was so great up until this. Beyondthat, all other apps perform flawlessly and touchwiz in general is faster.

3. Any word on 4.4.4? I read that my carrier verizon just released it today for the Samgsung Galaxy s5 and a few other phones. They mentioned the note as being upcoming but didn't give a date. hopefully they deal with the texting app :/

Bars don't matter per say, check dbm of 90 not bad 100 over I'd say that effects calls ect. This is in settings phone status signal ect. I'm always at 90 dbm indoors but it doesn't effect call quality or data Internet ect. For the sms if you keep a long conversation or multiple sms it will lag. So try to delete most if not all conversations. If they are important back them up. I think your fine of your downloads are 60mbs+ I'm only getting 25 30 and I'm supposedly xlte. I know I'm on band 4 I've nit picked as well at these things I belive your phones reception is good my bars drop quite often upstairs downstairs in home ect. As long as you can make good calls and sms I would not worry or press the issue. Some folks indoors only get 3g or 1x so 4G 60mbs is great. I hope I helped you. Have a great day.
