If you have a locked bootloader, then the dual recovery is your only choice and even then you'll have to boot into vanilla CWM via the included NDR Utils app. Just don't use the other recoveries. They're not doing any harm by being there.

Does anyone know where I could find Aramin Negron's Moto 360 face? It was one of the Moto 360 Contest top 10. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Aramis Negron takes a simple approach with this design. The date is stamped at the bottom of the watch face and the minutes tick away in a 360 formation around the hour counter.

i want to know what is sudo location?

Because i have a rooted android and when i checked it by using root checker it shows its rooted but no sudo location...
[General Topics] lietsen:
If I open terminal emulator and want to get root access, I'm just type "su" and get the root access.. :D
[General Topics] amey.patil:
what is the difference between sudo and su?
[General Topics] lietsen:
I'm not a linux/android expert, but as long as I know, 'su' forces you to share your root password to other users whereas 'sudo' makes it possible to execute system commands without root password. When we're login into linux system and not a root, with sudo we can execute some program without using root password, as long as the user is in sudoers file conf.

Ex: I want execute "mysqld start" in linux, and I'm not root, but my username was registered in sudoers file, we can simply type "sudo mysqld start", and then system will ask the current user password. Another example is, we type "su". If the root has a password, then we must type the root password before we can executed another command, after that we'll become root.

I don't know in android if root has password or not, but till now where I want to executed some root program in terminal, I only type 'su' and no password. :D

*sorry for my bad english and explanation, i'm just nood*
[General Topics] MadHakker:
SUDO vs. SU

The SUDO command stands for "superuser do". It prompts you for your personal password and confirms your request to execute a command by checking a file, called sudoers, which the system administrator configures. Using the sudoers file, system administrators can give certain users or groups access to some or all commands without those users having to know the root password. It also logs all commands and arguments so there is a record of who used it for what, and when. The SU command on the other hand stands for "switch user", and allows you to become another user. Using su creates security hazards, is potentially dangerous, and requires more administrative maintenance. It's not good practice to have numerous people knowing and using the root password because when logged in as root, you can do anything to the system.

This could provide too much power for inexperienced users, who could unintentionally damage the system.

Seems like my thread got messed up and no longer exists. I had tried to send a message to a developer who was looking for an invite but XDA went down and I have lost that person.

So I am asking if any other developers (or that person if they see this) are looking for an invite.

The one I have only has 15 hours left.

Yea, I looked at your thread and it seemed like you had more invites than people so I thought I would just post to see if any Dev's had skipped that thread and would comment on this.

Simple mathematics really. It's due to the exponential growth of available invites in combination with a changing supply and demand curve.

Funny though how people are still begging for weeks and weeks on the OPO forum when here we're having trouble handing them out before they expire...

Hello I have a rooted Galaxy S5. My bluetooth was working fine as of yesterday now today when I go to turn it says turning on and then just goes back to off...the only thing I've done as of late is edited a system file to allow write capabilities to the SD card and installed pandora patcher...please let me know if you have any suggestions to a fix...thanks!

Ps I've tried reboot, clearing cache, and taking the battery out
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grad_devil:
I'm actually experiencing the same problem.

I don't know how long it's been going on, as I typically don't use BT. I'm experiencing the same symptoms as the OP - I try to turn it on - it tries to come on - then goes back off.

I've disabled much of the bloatware, so I opened TiBu to see if there's anything that I've frozen that might cause BT issues. None of them would seem to cause the BT issues I'm experiencing.

Any ideas for me/us to try?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryezen:
How did you get this fixed, I'm having the same problem: Edited file to allows 3rd party apps to write to the SD card, but had issue so reverted to backup file I created prior to editing original. But BT still not functioning even after numerous reboots.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autotech40:
same here

Same problem here. I noticed bluetooth stoped working after installing juice defender. Dont know if thats the cause. But clearing cache, factory reset, uninstalling apps, etc. Hasnt worked.I read where someone reflashed in odin and it worked. Will an odin flash void knox or my warranty? Sprint galaxy s5 rooted. Stock rom:confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkuunalr:
Same problem here...

I have done factory reset, clean wipe via recovery and reinstalled rom.

Still the Bluetooth acts as if it is goona turn on but does not.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekrhino:
Problem fixed but at a cost

I had the same problem thats being discussed in here.

I was rooted with stock rom on the latest build NK2, I also modified the xml file so I could write to the ExtSdCard and it didnt work so I put it back to original and somehow my bluetooth got messed up after that. I would attempt to turn on but would only go back to off.

What I did was I unrooted by going into CF SU settings and chose the unroot option, I flashed the stock nk2 firmware and did a factory reset and that got bluetooth working for me again.

I'm going to stay unrooted until lollipop drops for Verizon S5.

Hope this helps somehow.

Hi everyone. My SM-G7102 came with the following:

Android version:

4.3

Baseband version:

G7102XXUAML5

Kernel version:

3.4.0-2671946

se.infra@R0210-02 #1

Tue May 13 21:33:27 KST 2014

Build number:

JLS36C.G7102XXUANE2

SE for Android status

Permissive

I have flashed cwm based custom recovery and rooted using SuperUser 2.02. Everything is working fine.

[ Earlier, I had tried, Twrp and Philz recoveries, but they just gave me blank screen and reboots to system.]

I did a full nandroid backup today using my working cwm based recovery, on External SD Card directly.

I want to try out VANDROID ROM V1 by vandroid699. It says it is "E2 Stock Based ROM". My guess is that this is compatible with my device and its Jellybean 4.3.

I am also aware of the fact that once I upgrade the android version on my device, there is NO DOWNGRADING WITHOUT BRICKING THE DEVICE.

Please anyone confirm:

1. Is it OKAY to go for the Vandroid ROM V1 without having any problems?

2. Will I be able to do a "Nandroid Restore" if something bad happens?

3. I have also downloaded from Samsung update website this file "G7102XXUANE2_G7102OJVANE1_PAK.zip". It contains the Tar.Md5 file which is Odin-flashable.

Is it the RIGHT STOCK ROM FOR MY DEVICE? [btw, I am from Pakistan]

Thanks in advance

N.B: I have experience with Nexus 10, Nexus 7 2013, HTC HD2, in terms of flashing roms, kernels, nandroids, but I am new to Grand 2!
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuldude:
Well its just an E2 stock rom flashable zip nothing extra like s5 apps or anything just Samsung bloatware removed ( i haven't tried it ) ...if u want another rom try Gennxt Rom by ballibro and yes the nandroid backup will restore everything and you can flash the firmware you mentioned ...

History

To make it short i bought this in August 26th and on 27th i completely broke my K910. I was only able to recover it by September 26th!!!

It was so broken that i ended up with no vibration, no LED, no nothing. It's seams that i send my money to trash or at least a hugely expensive paperweight :laugh:

After searching for a solution in web sites as diverse as Chinese, Romanians, Indians, Russians, Spanish, etc. etc. i've found one in particular in HTC Mania Spain written by corion witch i thought...that could be it!!! :highfive:

Wrong...I've follow all the provided steps one-by-one but nothing.

I had tried virtualize Windows since XP version. Nothing seams to work until...on a rare and brilliant occasion ... :angel:

So...Let's cut the crack and let's go with it.

The following steps where the ones i've followed. This was based mostly on corion's tread in HTC Mania as described above plus my own experience witch i think make some difference and lead me to recover my phone.

Finally there's one thing that's hugely important and that is lots and lots of patience :D

Pré-Requisites

Based in my experience and after i try this on my Win8.1 without success i try all the following steps. All of them unsuccessful.

Virtualize Win XP 32-bits & 64-bits

Virtualize Win7 32-bits & 64-bits

You can imagine my patience and hours i've spend installing all those Windows OS and all Microsoft patches :eek: most of all because my laptop is my professional one so i couldn't just install a new copy :(

After all those frustrations, in a act of despair, i decided to clean completely my laptop and pray that i could recover my work lately. This was the most wisely decision i've made after 1 month!!! So...

Pre-Requisites*

Format your PC;

Install your OS from scratch;

Apply all the patches from Microsoft;

Buy or get a old USB cable extention** from someone.

Notes:

* Again, this is based on my experience, you may try all the steps without format your PC. You had nothing to loos atm.

** In our days USB cables transfer data in a very high rate so the idea of using an USB extension is to slow down a little bit transfer data between Phone/PC. Older the better. We going to need this as you see ahead in post #5

Guide [How to Proper Install and Configure QPST]

Here is where some work begins.

1. In order to recover your Lenovo K910 you must follow this steps one by one so read carefully and please don fill this thread with questions already answered here.

2. Like me, if you take 1 month...take it. If you take 20 minutes...great but please don't ask over and over the same questions. :highfive:

3. If you had any questions regarding tech common sense use my dearest friend here

4. If by any chance you really broke your phone, it's your fault! You're the one who lead to this, not me!

Installation Procedure

Install QPST you've just downloaded

Reboot your PC with "Disable signature verification of digital controllers" checked

Read point 3 from above hidden text

Open Device Manager

Connect your phone to PC through a USB cable pressing VOL-

This is where you going to use the USB extension cable written above. Try another key combination if this one doesn't work

By this time your PC began searching for the correct drivers. If everything went ok, device manager will see android phone as QHSUSB_DLOAD or QHSUSB_BULK with an exclamation mark. If not try again,

--- If VOL- doesn't work try several combinations, like VOL+/USB cable or VOL-/VOL+/USB ---

Install the drivers (not Lenovo ones) manually from the drivers folder you've just downloaded (Install accordly to your OS version)

Your Device Manager should see you phone as:

Doesn't matter if it is COM10 or another

Reboot your PC with "Disable signature verification of digital controllers" checked

Read point 3 from above hidden text

Install Lenovo drivers

Reboot your PC with "Disable signature verification of digital controllers" checked

Read point 3 from above hidden text

Now continue to the next step on post #5

[Guide]How To Recover With QPST

This is where the hard work begin yet with it you might...just might, bring your phone back alive again. :good:

Important Notice:

Like i wrote before, i held no responsibility from now on if your brake your phone for life

If you managed to connect your phone to PC in the proper way (post #4) you're good to go. :cyclops:

Before we go deeper on "Step-by-Step Instructions" we need to configure just a couple of things first.

Unpack the Lenovo QST File that you download from 3rd post [K910_1_S_3_2144.1_0040_140219_qpst.7z] with 7-Zip

Move the bin folder to PC root [C:\]

Inside bin folder you'll find flash_local.xml file. Open it with Notepad++

Configure this way

Now you're finally ready :highfive:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Open Device Manager and QPST Software from installation folder

Connect your phone to PC through USB extention cable

Check if Device Manager sees your phone properly

and QPST to

If everything's ok open eMMC Software Download. Now do the following:

On Sahara XML file, put the path where the flash_local.xml file is (the one you edited previously).

In Flash Programmer file name write MPRG8974.mbn

In Boot Image write 8974_msimage.mbn

In Load XML def... choose rawprogram0.xml file from explorer

In Load patch def... choose patch0.xml file from explorer

Uncheck Program MMC device

At this time your PC no longer sees your phone at COM Port but it had changed to Lenovo USB something. Connect your phone to PC through USB extention cable again with the right key combination

Right after you inser USB cable start pressing ENTER key on your PC like a maniac. This is the secret. You had to click it at the right time in order eMMC Software Download starts the download process.

--- Again. This is the most stressful step of all of this. Try not to brake your PC and in an act of despair don't crash your phone against the wall ---

In order to do the above i had to wipe all my PC after spend an entire month without results

If you received any message regarding your disks or format choose NO or CANCEL

Finally you've made it, let's go further

Uncheck Program Boot Loaders

Now check the Program MMC device

Choose your phone from the list of drives

Click Download again

When the process ended remove USB cable from PC and reboot the phone.

Nothing like an image to explain the above steps, right guys? :laugh:

Hope this help you anyway :good:

IMPORTANT:

If you ended with a phone without vibration, led or anything that means that you "kill" the battery. In that case you have to proceed in another way because your phone will never boot and you won't be able to start nothing.

Check next post if that is your case ;)

No Vibration, No LED, No Nothing? Don't Worry, Here's a Solution

Isn't Android Mobile Phones wonderful?!?!

There's a solution for almost everything :laugh::laugh:

Description

You've ended with a complete dead phone because you've spend to much time playing with it on previous post.

The good thing is that your battery is just in a 0% stage so what should we do in this case? Lenovo sell this like a non-removal battery, how the heck i solve this tricky situation?!

Solution

You must be thinking "how stupid i am for spending money on a non-removal battery phone" well... it is removable!!! Check how to do it here. At this video it's only shown how to get to the battery. You must disconnect it.

Now you can go back to post #5 and follow the provided steps :silly:

Once I install the Lenovo drivers and reboot the phone is no longer available in the QPST configuration at all.
