[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoffe:
I consider myself fairly savvy with root but this problem has me troubled. Apparently there is a known issue with Towelroot on V900 phones with kernel 3.4. That is what is says anyway on the Towelroot thread. Anyway my experience is this: When I root with Towelroot my Note 3 screen freezes randomly. Sometimes it will reboot after 30 seconds and sometimes I need to pull the battery. I had another Note 3 that I enjoyed root with great success. But last Thursday I dropped that phone on some rocks and had to get a new one. Thank the gods for a warranty.

So if indeed Towelroot has a known issue with the 3.4 kernel is there an alternative way to gain root? If I were to install Towelroot with the know freeze issues, and flash a ROM will that solve the problem? Or are there any alternatives?

Thanks

Ive posted once already, and even sent a message to someone on the site who's been around longer....here's my problem....

1. I have AT&T

Here is what my bootloader says.....

Software status: Official

unlocked

s-off

CID-1111111

I bootload hbooted FW 3.28.XXX.6 when it came out (ive done it twice now)

I do not have the complete android sdk package, all I have is hasoon's all in one toolkit

im on Captain Throwback's Multirom Recovery ( latest) ( I was using his latest standard recovery, but switched to his MB one a few moments ago)

Here's my problem.......I downloaded both the latest MaximusHD OTA update as well as the MaximusHD rom. I then booted into recovery, and could not wipe anything (all i got were red error messages while trying to do the wipe's)....ive seen this before, so while still in recovery, I dirty flashed MaximusHD rom, but before It completed in Aroma the device automatically rebooted to where it was stuck on the white HTC screen. Now going back to Hasoon's AIOT.....Im able to use fastboot on my computer, the bootloader is reading fastboot usb, and my computer is able to recognize my phone; however, as I said earlier i do not have the complete android sdk.......

main problem: I can not use my phone, as recovery continuously reboots before finishing the wipe process and screen get's stuck on HTC white screen....i have no idea what to do now
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
OK, no one is helping....ive tried some things, learned a few but this seems to be over my head....can anyone really help ? I managed to get past the white HTC screen by fastboot flashing a new recovery (philz then dees troy version of twrp)....I got a bootable commotio build....I also flashbooted 2.22.401.5, i thought it had fixed everything but in recovery i am getting the following errors.....

unable to mount /cache

failed to wipe dalvik

did I somehow mess up my partitions ? I need to wipe dalvik cache and cache in order to get a working rom on this damn phone.....
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
The issue has been fixed....
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Please post the solution (for possible info for others) and mark the thread title [SOLVED].

In any case, glad you sorted it out. I would have tried to help, but I'm usually not on XDA on the weekends.

Couple things:

Sounds like you got some kind of adb environment running on your own. But this is one of the reasons I advise against toolkits. They put you in the position to screw up your phone; but don't arm you with the proper tools and knowledge to get out of those jams.

Also, I don't recommend international firmware (3.28) if you are using AT&T as your carrier. You'll likely encounter some reception issues, as the AT&T band support is built into the radio firmware. Although since you are already there, I'd be curious to hear your experience on the 3.28 firmware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Im not exactly sure what went wrong in the first place. I never pulled a logcat (from an app or through adp) since the problem no longer exists it looks like I never will unless I go through another similar thing. I wish I did know because it's killing me to know. I wasnt on 3.28 for long maybe a few days, but for the times I was

a. the reception in tuscaloosa, alabama where we have 4G LTE everywhere gave me a decent signal

b. I didnt notice a battery drain compared from other firmware bands

I have flashed atleast 500 times over a 8 year period on 4 different android phones, and Ive never once experienced the problem I had 2 days ago. Ive had 2 HTC phones, although, the experience with basebands were similar they were actually very different in every aspect. I had a TMO HTC G1 back in the day ( I had to learn how to do everything back when scripts or programs werent doing the grunt work (root)...

I had a TWRP backup of beanstalk saved (so kiddies, do your backups) that is what saved my ass. I couldnt wipe anything and my internal storage had been wiped and TWRP wasnt recognizing my SDcard. Everything that could go wrong went wrong....I flashed 3.28 (twice), went through 3 different recoveries (Captain Throwback's Multiboot Recovery, Captain Throwback's TWRP, and Philz Touch CWM Recovery). I looked all over for the answers, but none came to my rescue. It was ultimately finding that backup that saved me.....

I actually had to repartition my computer's hard-drive and reinstall windows 7 home edition, so I had to start over with practically everything...Im not going to use toolkits anymore. As you said earlier, it's just the easy way out. You wont learn anything about how to use ADB or Fastboot (although I applaud the one's who make the scripts or toolkits for those of us on the go).....

P.S.......If I can ever manage to break away from my dueling school schedule and my other priorities in life I plan on learning more about starting from the ground up and building roms, and not just throwing a few things together in the kitchen.....

While my mind is fresh, which linux distro would you recommend for a dual boot machine ? Im currently on windows 7 home edition
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yeah, I'm going to pull back on my previous statement that "3.28 will

likely

cause reception issues on AT&T's network" to instead say "

may

cause issues". And feel free to try it at your own discretion.

Reason being, I've seen maybe 3 reports now of this firmware working ok on AT&T, and no reports to the contrary so far.

Although, when folks tried the 2.22.401 "international" firmware on AT&T, there were several (even numerous reports) of signal issues, even NO SIGNAL. No reports of this so far on 3.28, so I'll be cautiously optimistic for the time being (until I see reports otherwise). Haven't personally tried it, and not sure I will as I don't really have time ATM to mess around with the possibility of signal issues or no signal.

Did you try fastboot erase cache before trying to re-install recovery, or a different recovery? I've seen this simple step alleviate some pretty drastic issues with recovery.

I can't speak personally, I'm not a Linux PC person. But my friends that are, seem to split among various distros: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Arch. One friend that is a particular Linux aficionado is on Arch, and said he was very happy with it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
I did...I also tried fastboot -w...to no avail...the past few days I've been learning more about adb and fastboot commands...

I've heard a majority of users tend to swing towards Ubuntu. I might take a look into it...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] BR7fan:
Id highly rrecommend Linux Mint 17 Qiana MATE Edition .I use it with Windows 7. It is my favorite Linux OS. Not to mention that its perfect for Linux beginners.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
That info would of been great a few days ago, but my laptop is screwed up now. Earlier I tried logging on,and couldn't because of some kind of remote error near the password field box on win7 HE...So I tried a system restore,and it failed so I f8 into recovery options and try using HP Recovery..everything went smooth into the first boot. I ended up getting a recovery installation incomplete and a 205 UIA failed 3 times. I believe my laptops recovery partition is corrupt,and I don't have a HP recovery disk, a win7 recovery DVD / Win7 recovery USB stick... I found what I need on HPs website, but its 30 bucks...BestBuy GS wants to charge me $69.99 for a diagnostics test and a retail version of win7 cost like 130
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Its a 2011 HP Pavilion G-series laptop with windows 7 Home edition. What makes matters worse is I just partitioned the system a few weeks ago by using the recovery option HP makes for their devices...

Everything was great til about 10pm tonight...FML...now I actually gotta go to school to do my damn school work
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mattprice86:
I had that exact same issue yesterday... Twrp couldn't wipe anything and eventually kept rebooting after 20 or 30 sec in recovery.

I had to download the 1.58 RUU and run that, then flash Twrp back, reroot, then restore one of my backups from earlier in the day.

As far as fw goes, I had updated to 2.22.401.4, had that for a couple days, then updated to the 3.xx fw to install arhd 20.3. I liked it, but decided I love my dirty unicorns rom so decided to go back to the 2.xx fw. I tried to flash renovate 4.5.0, and that's when all the issues in twrp started. From what you're saying, it sounds like the issue could be caused from the fw updates.

How did you end up restoring your backup when they issue happened? I tried to restore mine with fastboot, but it was compressed and I couldn't extract the img files from the win files
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
I had a beanstalk twrp backup. I'm not 100% sure if I sent you my backup that It would work for you...where did you get the firmware you flashed ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mattprice86:
I got it from skulldreamz thread on flashing fw by renaming it and putting it on root of ext SD card
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Did you look into the contents of that zip to see if there was a recovery.img or boot.img file ? Those files usually overwrite the custom recovery (ie...TWRP or CWM). There are two ways to correct those red error messages you get in TWRP...

1. by flashing partition-fixer.zip (I have a copy if you need it)

2. By using a terminal emulator,and typing this command...

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p46

I believe this command is essentially what's included in the flashable partition fixer ( I haven't actually taken a look in that zip,so I could be wrong)...

I haven't had any problems as of late...either I'm starting to get back in the hang of dealing with HTC devices or I'm just lucky...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
As stathis,skull, & sneaky pointed out...sometimes the firmware packages contain recovery.img/boot.img that will overwrite existing images. Its best to download whatever fw zip you want and scan these zips for said files. Its OK to delete those files,rezip em and flash. If you didn't remove these images. You would have to fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img after flashing the fw zips
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mattprice86:
With the ones I got from skulldreamz' thread, I believe they were modified bc I didn't have to flash a custom recovery again after I flashed the fw. I never fastboot flashed them, I've always just renamed it 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on the root of the ext SD card
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
That's probably because skull removes those 2 files before uploading for download. I'm not sure if he does that for every zip....

Ok so I had the z2 before and had same issue for some reason the wifi video streaming to tv is bad on Sony compared to Samsung and LG. I have a Sony smart tv and I assumed it should work flawless being two Sony device and it won't work. Same problem with my new z3c anyone else having issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwanderer:
I tried to "throw" somthing at a Samsung SmartTV yesterday. Video doesn't work, pictures and music do work most of the time. Still not very reliable the whole thing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iruwen:
Miracast is great in theory but sadly still a bit unreliable, getting it to work between two devices is kind of like gambling. The fact that there are tons of different names for it also doesn't really help. And it stops working if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
The OP really needs to explain properly what they mean by "is bad" and "wont work": what sources, what are they expecting to see, and what happens instead.

The problem here is that "Throw" in this context could mean a number of different things if the Auto-select option (Settings > Xperia Connectivity > Throw settings) is set: DLNA, Miracast or Chromecast. The OP should disable the automatic option and try manually.

DLNA is obviously dependent on the destination device supporting the codecs of the source. Sony TVs can be quite weak with these, and depending on your model they may only support the most basic video codecs for DLNA compliance - check your TV manual.

Some source devices & apps can transcode to the best supported destination codec, or use a server app on a PC to do this in the background or on the fly. Try apps like BubbleUPnP to test this.

On the other hand, Chromecast (& Cast screen) works very well with the Z3C if DLNA is flakey ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapshot789:
I got it to work I just had to keep on disconnect and reconnect wifi on the phone. also I meant not working as it won't connect to the TV as dlna and the tv is a Sony is w850 so that's not the problem as my previous Samsung and LG phone worked instantly the Sony seem to take longer.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipi66:
I think I figured out why there is no emoji in SMS:

- if I try to send "smile" emoji, it works because characters of which it is comprised fit in SMS character set

- they are (in hex): E2 + 0D (cr) + 0A (lf) + 98 + 0D (cr) + 0A (lf) + BA

- but "the red horned devil" which is: F0 + 0D (cr) + 0A (lf) + 9F9 + 0D (cr) + 0A (lf) + 888, does not work. so obviously characters 9F9(hex) and 888(hex) don't "fit"

- I believe this is the problem of UCS-2 encoding which is used in SMS

- also when you select "smile" emoji. it takes 1 of 70 available unicode characters, but any other takes up 2

- as automatic conversion to MMS has been disabled in this ROM, there is no way to send them unless you send an MMS manually

There is a workaround for sending emoji in SMS if you don't want to type them manually.

While in SMS editor select 3-dot menu, select "Insert smiley", and select the robot's head that fits your mood.
