[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastamonito:
First of all, thank's a lot to Unjustified Dev for providing CWM Recovery for the NVidia Shield Tablet, and for everybody else involved, so I could flash it onto my device.

Now to my problem.

I can't for the life of me access my CWM Recovery backups to store them on my ubuntu laptop.

I'm fairly new to customizing Android Devices so forgive me if I may ask dumb questions.

I started with an uncustomized device.

1) Unlocked the bootloader using

fastboot oem unlock

2) I downloaded CWM Recovery image "recovery.img" from the thread http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/recovery-cwm-recovery-nvidia-shield-t2848064, but not the one on the first page but on page 13, provided by romracer.

3) I flashed CWM Recovery onto my recovery partition with

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

I had to sudo because otherwise it said

4) I made a backup using CWM menu item "backup to sdcard". Trying "backup to /storage/sdcard1/" it told me

even with /storage/sdcard1 mounted.

Now i want to move the backup data to my laptop using adb.

I tried to find where the data was in

adb shell

It is located at /sdcard, which is a symlink to /storage/emulated/legacy, which is also a symlink to /mnt/shell/emulated/0. When I type

ls -la sdcard

it prints out all the Android, DCIM, Ringtones, etc but also a line

It tells me the same with

ls -la /mnt/shell/emulated

Also I can't

adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod

because then it tells me

How can I get the back up data to my laptop?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ehababoud:
Hello all,

I'll give a quick introduction of what my situation is, and then my problem:

I have a Nexus 7 32g wifi model with:

Product name - flo

Variant - flo 32g

HW version - rev_e

Bootloader version - flo-04.02

Carrier info - none

signing - yes

secure boot - enabled

LOCK STATE - locked

All of the following attempts are made by my macbook air - I can try with my windows machine but I personally do not think that this will help. please tell me if you believe that using a windows machine will fix it and I will go with it.

Recently I was using my nexus as an ftp server and was transferring some videos to it. when I left the shower I noticed it was stuck on the google logo, so I left it in case it was frozen etc. I then went to work and came back around 11 hours later to see it on the same logo (it was charging so naturally didn't run out of battery and go to a blank screen).

I therefore decided to see what was going on, clearly it wouldn't boot. I went into the boot loader and also successfully went into recovery mode. Following some instructions from google, the first thing to do was to wipe the cache partition. This returned the following:

When I tried to wipe the data, it returned the following:

Following this I tried the 'apply update from ADB' option and this also was unsuccessful. After adb sends the image (and I've tried a few such as the stock one from google and CM10) to the nexus 7, my nexus says the following:

I returned to google to see what I can find and, although I can't find an identical situation to mine, I saw suggestions to unlock the bootloader, so I used fastboot with the following command:

My terminal was stuck on "erasing userdata" for a very long time. judging by some of the screenshots I've seen, this shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes - I waited approximately 2 hours and then restarted my nexus.

I think it's worth mentioning that fastboot can see my device (matching my serial no) but running the adb devices command shows nothing under the list of devices. I have also tried to flash a recovery image, but this was also unsuccessful. I know there's a flash.bat file as part of the stock compressed folder, however I haven't touched that yet.

As a result, I think that the issue is with my storage and that it is not mountable. I may be incorrect here but I tried to remount the device through ADB - as mentioned above however, it can't detect the device so this never worked. I do not know how to get mount this using fastboot (I took a look at fastboot help but didn't find anything for that) so I'm not sure where to go now.

I believe that my device is now out of warranty (or very close to it) and I don't think the department store I purchased this from would help me so I'd rather not go down that route.

I hope the information I gave above was sufficient and I'd appreciate any input you have for this. I'm pretty average at terminal commands and have a good understanding of Unix, however I'm not an expert, so excuse me if I'm missing something that is under my nose.

Many thanks,

Ehab

SpiritROM on Samsung Galaxy S GT I-9000

Hi There,

I am using this ROM for last 2months, not much problems, but when i connect the phone to my PC, it doesnt prompt for selecting USB Mass storage. Due to this I am unable to transfer any data. I tried enable/disable Android Debugging, tried Options MTP/UMS from Settings->Storage->USB Computer Connection .. but still no luck.

Please suggest how I can enable the UMS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumeke:
I totally understand but sadly I cannot help you as I also have the same problem across the board with pacman, cyanogen, neatrom... all based on KK but it sounds like it is some thing to do with the base compilation. I never tried any Lollipop roms and wont bother I have spent a huge amount of time on this already.

Is your phone a GT I9100T? Mine is this model number

It was a wifi driver? based issue. which has nothing to do with the modem.

Other than this the spirit Rom was amazing. I wish I had 10 posts under my belt so I did not get sidelined to another thread. I would like to be part of solving this issue. Which im sure is possible. Maybe as simple as using the correct wifi software?

If anyone out there wants to be part of the solution please dont hesitate.

Thanks and Ill keep my fingers crossed...

SPIRIT Rom and bugs.... Well...

It is very stable and little bit spooky but still fency and stable rom ;). It is fast , just modify settings by Ur own pref. And i do suggest DorimanX kernel, v10XXX and time to time clean cache and anjoy this beauty rom :)

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Now ME ;)

Well mate, do a total reset.... Use Odin and instal latest official JB, do repertion, my sugg is 3Gb data at least and offcourse 1Gb sistem... Maybe Ull needed for Lollipop and anyway it is fine to have it, ull never know... Do a little search for modem which is best represenative of ur radio and version of Jelly Bean(JB) for UR local .... for me, best one is I9100XXMS4 . Before modem, after instal JB, root Ur phone and downloaded ZIP of ROM, Gapps And Modem put on Sd or Internal(if in internal-dont format internal memory).... In Odin put PIT file and check RE-PARTITION field, TAR file of official ROM and chek PDA field, ellse live it like it is... Goa ahed and START it. Do NOT chek NAND field!

So conc: U need: PIt Repartition file, Samsung official Rom, PhilliZ kernel((for safe begining and Root)), Odin 3.07, Modem file I9100XXMS4(for modifying or latter purposes) and FAITh in Urselfe and knowledge ;) :) Ask 4 more ;)

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prat92:
I am planning to flash a custom rom on my phone (for the first time).

Model : Xperia SP(C5302)

Build : 12.1.A.1.205 (Stock) running JB 4.3 with LB

I have rooted my phone using the towelroot method and installed supersu. I have also installed custom recovery from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649923

I am planning to flash this custom rom http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/cyanogenmod-11-locked-bootloader-users-t2868398

So I have a few questions that I am not clear about(even after searching the forums). And sorry if they are dumb. I really want to understand as much as possible before flashing roms.:fingers-crossed:

And that’s it for my questions (for now at least... :p).

A Big Thanks in advance for all your helpful answers:D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
First of all, I am only explaining the one I know about :P

1. Well, wiping the system will remove the recovery. That's why you'll have to flash the ROM after wiping the system. Do not ever reboot the phone after wiping the system but haven't yet flashed the ROM zip, else you'll have to do more work to flash the Stock ROM. This is due to the fact your phone does not have an OS to boot into! When flashing the ROM zip, the recovery will be automatically installed.

2. This is based on luck, most of time you'll end up unable to boot into anything. A fix is to flash the Stock ROM again.

3. Every ROM has recovery built with it (unless stated otherwise in the thread)! Upon flashing, it will be automatically installed too.

4. The methods you mentioned is correct. However, only restore the nandroid backup if you want to stay on stock. You could always retry to flash the ROM again. Nandroid backup is an image backup of your android. If you restore your nandroid backup, you'll end up with your previous version of android (like the way before you started flashing the ROM)

5. Wiping /cache and dalvik-cache is a really good practise! It doesn't really matter when you will need to wipe them, but personally I wipe them all before flashing the ROM. Wiping /data and performing a factory reset through recovery is recommended if

you're coming from a different ROM

. That's why backing up

user

apps through TiB (Titanium Backup) is recommended for you to easily get your installed apps back. Remember, nandroid backup and apps backup from TiB is different to each other.

6. No, this might cause extreme conflicts. No, I am using SuperUser as long as I have used CM. It never fails to give root permission at all despite the hatred I sense in some apps that overly-recommends SuperSU.

7. Of course it is very safe to restore them backups with TiB. However, based on my experience, messages and contacts were unable to be restored due to the difference in ROM version. I don't know if anyone else faces the same problem as mine. As of this, I really recommend your contacts to be synced with Google.

Heads up!

Based on this post, the dev of the ROM you wanted to flash, MrSteve555, recommends PhilZ when flashing the ROM.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prat92:
Thanks for such detailed answers. That cleared most of my doubts:)

Just some last few questions(promise!)

1. If wiping /system does remove the recovery before I install the rom, how is it possible to access it even to flash the rom? Shouldn't it like just close right when I wipe /system. Or does it not work like that?

2. Just to be sure the nandroid backup I made on my stock rom won't work if I later try to flash it through recovery while using CM,right?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
1. Wiping system wont close the recovery at all. It still runs and you can still navigate within it. But remember do not reboot unless you've flashed the ROM! The mechanism of how the magic works is yet to be acknowledged. So I can't tell why it doesn't closes upon wipe. My best guess here is that the recovery might be running on a temporary partition perhaps. I hope a developer see this post and explains the magic.

2. Nandroid backup works all the time (if they are no errors when you are creating them). Nandroid backup is simply a backup of your whole device. If you're on CM, restoring nandroid backup will get your phone back to the way when you attempted the nandroid backup (stock ROM, rooted, and triple recoveries installed). Nandroid backup is useful when you're about to try something that may damage your ROM, without doing so much work to restore your device.

Say, you created a nandroid backup in cwm in which Cyanogenmod was installed. And then you flashed something afterwards. If that "something" damages the ROM and gives you bootloop, you can simply flash Stock ROM, root it again, install recoveries again, and restore the nandroid backup. Then, voilà, cyanogenmod is back. This will simplify your work rather than flash CM again, then gapps, then restore your apps and all those other things that will consume so much time

So a new nandroid backup will backup the whole device, in a form of an image.

:D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royduin:
Hi guys,

I'm going to buy a HTC One M7 shortly and I'd like to know what I can do the best. Currently I've got a HTC Sensation XE with this ROM, a pretty vanilla Android version without Sense. I'd like to have something similar on the M7, but with the latest supported Android version (4.4.x) and with a auto update functionality so I don't have to do updates manually in the future.

I've spend a day to get everything ready on my Sensation, so I'm not that good with customs ROMs and stuff. Hereby my questions:

1) Which ROM for the M7 is good maintained, have regularly good stable updates, can update automatically, don't have Sense, is pretty much vanilla Android, have good performance, have good battery time, is based on the latest Android version and if there comes a new major Android version it can be updated automatically to it.

2) What is the best method to install the custom ROM?

3) What is the best method to root the phone?

4) Is it advised to install a custom kernel? What are the advantages of it?

5) Is it advised to use the Cyanogenmod installer? Does this install what I want as described in my first question?

6) I've read something about a custom "radio", this can optimize the wifi/3g/4g signals, is this a good idea?

I'm sorry for my beginner questions, I hope somebody can help me out with this!

Thanks in advance! Regards,

Roy

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jowett69:
works very well, you have to config your exec to get TOMTOM to work with bluetooth gps( you can find that on here somewhere).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
It works fine, but slower than on a QVGA screen device.

I have used v5 and v6 on AKU 2, 3, and now Crossbow ROMs, it works fine on the Universal, so you can buy it without worrying.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
You don't actually have to config anything if you have the TomTom GPS, it turns on BT itself, and finds it.

If you have a non TomTom BT GPS, simply pair it, and select an outgoing COM port, then when you fire up TomTom, tell it that it's a BT GPS on whatever port you chose.

All very easy.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
It's good if there's a large incident, but in my experience you usually get stuck in things before they hit your device, and you see the road signs on motorways and things warning you anyway.

I stopped the subscripton, and just reroute myself if I see warnings, or hear something on the radio.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
I am using TomTom 6 on my Exec now.

Previously used Navigon MN|5 which required *LOTS* of memory, so TomTom was a nice refreshment with its 7-9 MB memory trace.

Had problems setting up Bluetooth receiver. It wasn't showing up in the port list when I selected Bluetooth one. What I did was: added an incoming serial port, run TomTom and set port to this one (did not work yet!) then closed it and removed the port; after that TomTom just worked straight away :) At this point, an attempt to change port led to inability to get out of port selection, and you're buggered again. I'm sure that's some glitch, but I solved it anyway. May be there's a neater way of doing this. :)

But the software itself was good and stable, does what's on the tin, copy a directory to your card and you get Full Postcode navigation (very useful when finding businesses and not residential homes), and POI Warning function is built in now -- a *major* plus, never really got time to make POIWarner work properly. Tunnel mode -- progressive marker movement when lost GPS signal in a tunnel -- and that won my heart.

I do understand people's need to try BEFORE you buy, not after your money is tied up with some dud product and you get no refund. Go Trial, go.

Well in this case I'm pleased with TomTom 6 and its services. You can easily get a camera database each month from the Net and probably can live without Traffic service, but for me £33 a year doesn't seem too big a dent in my wallet - compared to £170-200 TMC receivers currently available on the market.

Have couple question about the apps supported by Gear S? If anyone has played hands-on in AT&T store or is planning too.... would appreciate some insight.

Essentially, will Gear S allow apps install from the Play Store, or we at the mercy of Samsung to decide what I can and cannot do, when I'm away from the phone?

Also, is Gear Manager just a routing/notification type software, and truly we can install anything on Gear S (whether thru playstore or side apk load), and when the smartwatch is far away (not in bluetooth range) from the phone... Gear Manager directs the AT&T tower to route the appropriate data to smartwatch.. as long as the app was installed on both smartwatch and smartphone?

Based on that AT&T fineprint pic... it seems, it will allow SMS/MMS/call and also email... does it mean I can install corporate email client from play store? and will it still work? Also, not sure about other apps.

If anyone has seen in the store... do you see the play store icon, or in settings option "to allow install from unknown sources"? Thanks in advance.
