Thanks for this. To be clear, if all goes well, I won't lose any data. This shouldn't wipe anything on internal SD and will likely function well on cm11?

[HTC One Mini] anthonyHTConeMINI:
Hi,

I am new to android and have rooted and have custom TWRP recovery installed 2.8.0.1. Phone works fine then after some time (couple days) if i restart its goes into boot loop, which can be stopped by a factory reset from tarp recovery (tried just clearing the cache and Davlik cache didn't work.

Would like to either upgrade to a new rom or go back to stock and use an OTA.

Cant seem to find the correct build has to have the 631 in it, i assume from my research.

**EDIT**

Solved the boot loop issue by flashing an updated version of supersu and installing.

Still am looking for stock recovery so i can do OTA for the newest updates, no luck so far.

If anyone knows where I can find a stock recovery or anyway to get back to stock for this phone with these specs let me know thanks!

Android version 4.2.2

HTC sense 5.0

software 1.36.631.2

S-ON

HBOOT 2.19.0000

RADIO 1.21.40d.00.06

OpenDSP v15.2.0268.0819

Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyg:
Sup you guys,

I may be in a new predicament for myself, so I would like to ask a few questions before I tackle this task. It seems that I've flashed a JB rom on the stock slot of SS, and I thought that I had the NC2 kernel intact to do so. However, all I get is a black screen and then a botched up system partition, a soft brick if you will, on the stock slot. Couldn't mount the system, so wiping anything is out the window. In order to make my phone usable for now, I had to install a rom on Slot 1. All is fine, but the battery drain is a killer, so I would like recover the system partition of the stock slot. Now, I've read a few threads that kind of pertains to my situation and I learned that a pit file flash can recover it back to normal. Can I just flash only the pit through Odin, or are there other steps that I have to do to get this back on track? Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delta_foxtrot:
I need help too

I just got into ROMs and safeatrap and such. I started by trying to load them to the stock slot, which failed every time. I then made slots and had 3 ROMs, but the battery life was not good.

So I wanted to put a ROM on the stock slot. This is with nc2 on kitkat. When I went to load a ROM in stock slot, safestrap failed saying it couldn't mount /system. I tried wiping, but there too it said fail to mount /system.

I did "Fix Permissions" and rebooted. I was greeted by the Samsung boot screen, but it froze there. No safestrap, nothing. I recovery booted and the stock recovery says "E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)"

So now it seems that no part of my phone can get to /system. I will look into a .pit file and would appreciate guidance as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyg:
Seems like you have the problem that I had a week ago. I fixed it by flashing a stock tar and the pit file through Odin. Though I wasn't too sure if just flashing pit would repair the system partition (though, I think it would've been fine; I should've just done it with no questions asked), but in my situation, I got a bit more desperate as my problem got sort of worse. Yea, running any rom on any slot other than the stock slot will kill your battery quick. So a reminder, if you have a messed up system partition, do not let the battery die because your phone will be soft bricked and you won't be able to boot up to anything other than Download mode. At that point, I just flashed the stock tar and the pit file just to be on the safe side and start over. After I rooted and installed SS, I went and checked if it was working properly. It did for the most part, but I remember that I was still on slot 1 before my battery died and SS was highlighted that I was still on that slot. I think because of that, it gave me certain errors on some of things I was testing out, but you will be able to install normally on the stock slot again. There are some other issues I have because of that ordeal, but it's not game breaking, so make sure that you're on the stock slot before flashing the files through Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delta_foxtrot:
Thanks for the reply. I flashed a stock tar last night since the stock bootloader couldn't mount /system. Not sure which slot was selected in safestrap, I couldn't get back in because it would freeze before safestrap.

I did not use a .pit file (FYI), and am now back on stock ROM.

What I woluld like isto flash a custom ROM, say a debloated, rooted ROM with ODIN. I see they are all zips with folders, not .tar. Maybe I could take out the recovery.img and put it into a ROM's zip and save the zip as a tar and flash it? Would this possibly break my device if it tried to flash a wrong recovery? I don't know.

If anyone has some knowledge of these things, I would appreciate tips.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
Why wouldn't you towel root, install SS, and install a ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delta_foxtrot:
Because I have only been able to get ROMs working on slots 1-4 of SS and not stock slot, so the battery life is terrible. Also, it would be faster and easier just to flash a ROM with ODIN and not have to worry if my version of android has a working root method (thankfully towelroot v3 worked).

Hi, I have code below to create a notification, but after click on any button, NotificationActivity does not start, any ideas?

Context parent =AndroidAppHelper.currentApplication();

// Enable
Intent allow = new Intent(parent, NotificationActivity.class);
allow.putExtra("AppName", Appname);
allow.putExtra("Option", "ALLOW");
allow.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingAllow = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(parent, 0, allow, 0);
NotificationCompat.Action allowAct = new NotificationCompat.Action(0, "Allow", pendingAllow);

// Disable
Intent mute = new Intent(parent, NotificationActivity.class);
mute.putExtra("AppName", Appname);
mute.putExtra("Option", "MUTE");
mute.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingMute = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(parent, 0, mute, 0);
NotificationCompat.Action muteAct = new NotificationCompat.Action(0, "Mute", pendingMute);

// Disable always
Intent muteAlways = new Intent(parent, NotificationActivity.class);
muteAlways.putExtra("AppName", Appname);
muteAlways.putExtra("Option", "MUTE ALWAYS");
muteAlways.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingMuteAlways = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(parent, 0, muteAlways, 0);
NotificationCompat.Action muteAlwaysAct = new NotificationCompat.Action(0, "Mute always", pendingMuteAlways);

// setup
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(parent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("Notification")
.setContentText(Appname)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.addAction(allowAct)
.addAction(muteAct)
.addAction(muteAlwaysAct);

NotificationManager nManager = (NotificationManager) parent.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nManager.notify(36, mBuilder.build());
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
I'm assuming NotificationActivity is a class in your app, in which case it wouldn't exist in the hooked app.

You'll want to use an explicit intent if that's possible (if memory serves right, it is), or look into an alternative way.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lewcamino:
I have search for about three hours now. On the forums and google. I can not find a way to make this work. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am simply trying to customize "phcanOverbmp.dll" so that it matches my phone pad skin. I use resource hacker to change the images and when I save the new DLL it looses the digital signature (expected).

I am using signtool.exe from the Visual Studio SDK and the certificates from the WM5 PPC SDK.

I tried wizard mode and I get "The Digital Signature wizard did not complete."

I also ran it via command line with the "/f SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.pfx" switch and I get "SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80070057"

I have tried "signcode_294" with the .bat file, that gives me "Error: Signing Failed. Result = 80070057, (-2147024809)"

I researched this issue and found that if it is XIP you cant sign it, but this .dll was taken from my device, so it should be PE.

I am really at a loss...

PLEASE help me solve this. There are soooo many things I have customized that I cant use cause of this issue.

Thanks, Lew
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Ok, the problem is you are trying to edit a signed file. This is a big no no!

The thing is signature has a checksum. Once you edit a signed file it automatically becomes invalid so you can't run or resign it.

You need to find a way (sorry, can't help you there) to remove the signature before editing the file.

If you run the sdk cab before replacing "phcanOverbmp.dll" it will work. It did for the batteryfix project that i helped jimm98y with

I'm having a serious issue and I'm not sure if it has to do with the rom or an app... Idk, but it's extremely frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. And I'm sorry if it ends up being something that has nothing to do with a bug in the rom.

Here's what's happening:

I'll connect my to my pc through USB to transfer files and such. I navigate to my external SD card. I create a folder and transfer a couple of files into said folder. Done.

Now, idk if this happens automatically or after a reboot but... Basically, everything I do or put on my SD card gets deleted. It's like what I do gets reversed... The folder, the files.. Gone. Idk what's happening. Is it the rom? Or maybe an app?

I use Cyanogenmod 10/05 Nightly. I have ROM toolbox, and titanium backup. That's it. I recently did a full backup through my philz recovery. Could it be something I did through my settings?

It just started happening in the last week or so. I've changed nightlies but it's still happening. So I don't think it's the ROM.

Please help if you can. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: as stated below the problem is caused if you change permissions of system apps with app ops. In my case just disabling app ops didnt help

So the fix is to back up the settings app, uninstall it, then reinstall it?
[Nexus 5 General] wildcard356:
Does the fix persist through a system wipe/ROM flash?

Pretty sure this issue has to do with App Ops.

On my own ROM, if I deny the "location" permission of ScreenRecorder, it happens. Allow it again, and it doesn't happen.

Yeah this is the reason but for me even after disabling app ops and rebooting it didnt start scanning...

Please somebody help me out. Thanks, Joshua
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
Joshua,

Welcome to XDA. The T-Mobile USA version will support all of AT&T's frequencies, with full LTE support. Many people here opt to go for the T-Mobile version because they don't lock down the bootloader and usually within the first week it has root access. Be advised, getting the TMO version may not be super easy, as there have been different reports from members here. Some stores refuse to sell it to you outright without an account. Some stores you can walk right in, have no account, and buy it. Then there is the unlocking process. Not too hard to find a cheap site.

I have bought the TMO Note 3, and S5 outright for use on AT&T. When I had the TMO Note 3, I had nothing but reception issues with LTE, despite the phone having band 17 (AT&T) support. Whenever the phone was connected to LTE on AT&T, it sucked. The -dbm was always higher than an AT&T branded Android (yes I compared) and my then iPhone 5S. In places I had good LTE reception with my 5S, I was getting HSPA+ on my TMO Note 3. I returned it because I couldn't stand it.

The TMO S5 on AT&T was better, but still not excellent. I ended up returning the device because I hated it haha. But nonetheless, when you use a TMO device on AT&T you forfeit things like carrier aggregation (which AT&T is working on now) and visual voicemail. You also have to worry about who to contact if your device malfunctions. You'll have to jump through a lot of hoops because Samsung and T-Mobile will just keep pointing the finger at the other guy. Obviously if your an AT&T customer your no subscribing to T-Mobile's jump insurance program.

So yeah, I hope I gave you some help advice. Yeah I HATE supporting AT&T branded devices, but at the end of the day, I'd rather spend my time enjoying my device instead of finding ways to optimize the signal or trying to read up on flashing a new modem.
