[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav20011:
When trying with download folder I got a error that this function is not implemented (I have root and busybox)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You're maybe doing it the wrong way round. Also I'm not sure if it will work because I don't know the folder structure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keiwop:
I have never linked a data folder on android, but if "ln -s ..." doesn't work, maybe you should try "busybox ln -s ..." ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Just realised he tried to link the download folder. He cannot link that as it's on /sdcard. You can only link ext4 partitions, not FAT, exFAT, NTFS etc /system and /data are the only linkable directories
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Isn't the Nexus 5 /sdcard formatted as ext4 since it's just a FUSE virtual file system of part of the /data partition?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No. /data is ext4 (or f2fs for some of us). /sdcard itself is not ext4. FUSE doesn't support symlinking

You can test it yourself

su
mkdir /data/data/test
ln -s /data/data/test /sdcard/test
function not implemented
ln -s /data/data/test /data/media/0/test
successful

You can see in /data/media/0/test that symlinking is working. Add a file and it appears in /data/data/test. However, /sdcard/test as it is a symlink, not directory, is not visible or accessible
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav20011:
Is the root dir also use able for symlink? I got a read only error but I changed everything rwx

Edit: Use terminal emulator chmod and not es file explorer

Last question: does anybody know where multirom saves the roms?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] towadroid:
i know im late...

But: multirom stores the roms at /data/media/0/multirom/roms

Were you successful using whatsapp on 2 roms?

I using "ascend p6".

My phone will not turn on.

"dload" system does not work. I'm having with the error in the picture.

adb command does not install the recovery.

I removed all the locks.

Uploaded on writing.

I'm having the same error.

please help me.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] richish:
Its say that u must be on android 4.2 to update to 4.4

If i got correct u cant turn phone on!

Only recovery.

What rom/version u was before bootloop??

I think u must try some other update what is 4.2 and try again with dload option and then report back.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] erdemmetin:
I tried android 4.4. the problem was not solved.

I tried android 4.2. the problem was not solved.

these two options "dload" method I've tried.

ROM files found in zip format. None established.

recovery.img is not installed. ridiculous ...

I unlock the bootloader.

ADB recognizes the phone.

"Installation complete" message is coming.

but the system is not installed.

Even the most current ROM is not installed.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] richish:
The files must look like

update.app

not zip file

Put update.app in

sdcard/dload/

And try again from 3 button combination
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] erdemmetin:
you mentioned these two methods I tried to install ROM. "sdcard/dload/ - And try again from 3 button combination"

I'm having with the error in the picture.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alfiewn:
You need to extract the update.app file from the zip, then put it in dload and use three button method
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] erdemmetin:
I know. As you can tell I'm doing.

sdcard / dload / update.app (3keys combination)

"I tried this ROM", I mean.

in both official ROM. I tried 4.2.2 and 4.4.2.

but it did not work. .... every time the same error
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alfiewn:
Can you get into fastboot and flash twrp? then you could flash a zip version of a stock rom using twrp, might work!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] erdemmetin:
I've tried processing...

before;

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img (in stock or TWRP)

fastboot reboot

adb reboot recovery

trouble-free loading.

"recovery mode" comes.

recovery is the same: (((

did not change ...

you also;

"update.app" - I'm trying to DLoad method. not happens.

you also;

update.app I open the file.

I'm uploading all files with the help of adb.

trouble-free loading.

but the phone will not turn on.

huawei logo goes, is staying on the next screen ...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] erdemmetin:
Everything is normal ...

but "recovery" does not change ....
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] VitAg:
I have the same problem. Nobody faced with such a problem? How to solve it? :(

May be author solved it? PLease, tell us if problem was solved.

I researched a lot. no solution.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayneb64:
I have had a problem come and go with my Samsung Infuse. Some update from some app causes the CPU to never be able to truly 'sleep' or 'idle' correctly causing the phone to burn through 3.7% battery life per hour. When it's 'healthy' it only uses 0.7% per hour.

In the past I thought I had isolated Google Play Books as the culprit and uninstalling that solved the issue. It took me quite a while to find that issue, then my phone was great for months. About a month or two ago something changed and the problem is back. Again I uninstalled almost all updates and apps I didn't need and managed to get it purring nicely for over two days, then it started burning power again. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am sick of fighting with it and also do not want the pain and expense of a new phone as that seems the only option.

The phone is an ATT phone that I use as a 'Go Phone' and ATT has never posted an OS update for the phone to download so it is still at Firmware 2.2.1 and Kernel 2.6.32.9 Build number FROYO.UCKH1.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Any battery killing apps can be determined by Wakelock Detector. So if you're rooted (I think that's a requirement), you are good to go.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayneb64:
I installed WLD and after 2.5 hours running, my battery is now draining at 4.5% per hour with something called UID taking 3m 18s for a total of 29 times and only four other listings adding up to less than half of that in wakeups and less than a minute. Net was 3% awake.

How is my phone burning so much power if it's only awake for about 4 minutes total???

My phone is NOT rooted, not sure exactly what that means but I am assuming some kind of wipe and re-install without ATT junk on there. I suppose rather than buy a new phone I can look into that process, would that let me get the latest version of Android? I assume I would lose EVERYTHING I have configured on the phone, would I still be able to use it as an ATT Go Phone? It took HOURS for the techs in the ATT store and help from experts on the phone to get data working on it and I would hate to go through that again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Hmmm, does Froyo have a built-in battery usage app (i.e. Settings > Battery, then scroll down for the "Battery use Details" aka top abusers)? If not BetterBatteryStats (XDA Edition) should fill in those gaps. Whenever it appears I have a runaway app, I look at my battery use details and wakelocks.

I don;t think it is, it must be something else.

Rooting is essentially getting administrative privileges so you can do more on your phone. Something simple like backing up your apps requires root. Wiping and reinstallling without AT&T junk would be more like installing a custom ROM. That will get you the latest version of Android (via Cyanogenmod or its offshoots like Carbon).

If you are interested in going that route, there is a process that will get you there. For now, I would recommend the next step up in Android versions, being Gingerbread. This version is still official for the Infuse, so it does have the AT&T junk. Be sure to record your APN settings before upgrading as that was probably what took hours at the AT&T store. So I would use option A or D in the link above, particularly D if you don't plan on sticking with Gingerbread. And if going to KitKat later, you can move straight to Step 3 in the guide (linked further up in this paragraph).

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayneb64:
After 13 hours I am only at 4% awake time and still at 4.7% per hour. Bettery Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector seem to indicate that no applications are at fault, and I am still running the original OS so nothing has changed there, does this mean it has to be my battery? I only use the original charger, but this battery has only been use a month or two. I have a stack of batteries I can try out, but it bothers me that these batteries are wearing out so fast if that is indeed the problem. Am I missing something here?

I am happy with my phone as it is so long as I don't have to charge it every other day, is the Infuse just hard on batteries? Upgrading looks terribly scary, and I am not sure it would make things any better. (The one exception to that is Skype no longer supports my OS, but unless I can take the phone to some expert I don't see myself going through the stress of trying to upgrade.)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayneb64:
Some more info, for the last 5 hours two battery apps show me locked at 30% battery power which makes no sense. It's like the phone has no idea how much power is actually left in the battery. Is it just voltage that tells the phone how much battery is left?

I have played around with a few 'battery' calibrators in the past, but at the time they didn't seem to do much good. Is that what I need now?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
I think it is just voltage that determimes. It could be the battery or the sensor. The way to tell is try a different battery and see, sounds like you have a spare already. If a calibrator worked in the past, maybe its time to try it again.

I never considered the infuse hard on batteries, but the battery does have a low mAh rating for phones of that size.

A charge every other day is very good for smartphones. Thats what i get with my last two devices. But once the battery cant last a full day for me, i know something is up.

P.S. Does wakelock detector say that the device is awake most of the time? If so, the problem could still be software.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayneb64:
I ran the battery all the way down and charged it while the phone was off. Initially it ran for almost a day with like -0.5% per hour, but then it went back to the -4.7% per hour rate and it may hit another plateau again. It seems to be I need to calibrate the battery or clear out the old calibration. I need ROOT to do that so I looked into that. I started by installing the older version of Kies and it updated itself, but the install complained about a driver failing to install, and when I try and plug the phone in (even in USB debug mode), Kies will not make the connection. Vanilla USB connection works fine however. Am I missing a certain driver for Win 7 64 bit? Where can I find it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
I always use ABDSetup for the drivers ... works for me well:

http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayneb64:
To follow up on this, I did manage to get my phone rooted, and I must say that was pretty scary. After reading the instructions to upgrade my Froyo to Jellybean, I think not for me. Why can't an OS upgrade on Android be WAY easier for the poor consumer?

Anyhow, now that I have root, I was able to calibrate my battery and go a whole 5 days on one charge and still have 20% left. You would think many consumers need to replace/calibrate their battery and having to root their phone to get it working correctly is just ridiculous. Android needs to make that WAY easier as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
What's the battery calibration app called? Is it device specific? I may want to look into this...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treehugger38294:
OS upgrades on Android ARE easy. You're just using a phone for which official software updates were discontinued years ago. Gingerbread was the last official software released for the Infuse. You should be thankful that you're even getting ICS, Jelly Bean and KitKat because of some awesome devs.

A current gen Nexus devices has easy software updates. You click update and it does it for you. No flashing, calibration or rooting required. In fact the updates are usually more stable than Apple's half-baked disasters with iOS 7 and 8.

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] TjPhysicist:
Hi guys,

I'm looking for an alarm app (either new or existing) that has wear support...maybe someone who is better versed can add wear support to KK alarm clock and put it up? Related is this bug report that has been marked 'WillNotFix": In a perfect world the app would also be able to be launched on the watch and alarms can be set from watch that are set on the phones main app....but at the very least I'd like to be able to dismiss alarms from watch (I'm imagining a screen like the one when you get a call, that would be awesome).

I'm not sure how much of this is possible, but at the very least, is anyone interesting in extending KK alarm app to include wear notifications for dismissing alarm while ringing?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] RedRamage:
I know this is an old post and hopefully you've found a solution. If not, check out Alarm for Android Wear:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.nfalarm_wear

It does NOT use the built in alarms your phone, instead setting up new alarms. But you can set alarms on either watch or phone, and they will go off on either watch or phone, or both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kierobi:
So, I bought a Galaxy S3 through Straight Talk, because I needed a replacement for iPhone 5 that went swimming and thought this looked better. I was told in the (Walmart) store that it was unlocked, but it isn't, and I need to be able to use it abroad.

Can anyone either give step by step instructions on how to unlock this particular model of phone, or point me in the direction of where I can see it. I am COMPLETELY new to doing this myself and need leading by the hand! I've taken it to two unlock places now (in UK) and they've both told me that they can't do it! I've read through a couple of different threads that talk about rooting and installing a new ROM, but nowhere has a complete guide, and like I said, pretty clueless at this sort of thing!

Really need some help on this, so anyone willing to tell me how it's done, I'd be eternally grateful!!!

There WAS one guy that put a sch-s968c on Verizon with his already active SIM, I don't know how exactly but he didn't register his phone on their network either, he let the SIM fool the system into thinking his IMEI was the one from the other phone, this is not a legit way so nobody around here really approves of stuff like that.

Great software with several functionatilies.

Unfortunately still not working for me as I can't find the driver "USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8).

I've downloaded several versions and none that works on Win 8.1 64 or Win 7 64 Home.

Tried even Samsung drivers, a pack with 88mb of drivers and I got one signed driver, still Windows (both 8.1 and 7 Home) just can't accept them.

Any news regarding new drivers?

Hello,

I am new to Samsung and have a question.

Previously I have been an HTC user, and was able to restore a Developer version (HTC ONE) ROM to a At&t (HTC One) through TWRP.

So is it possible to flash a non At&t STOCK ROM to my At&t Note 4?

And also how would I go about rooting manually. CF-autoroot not available for the At&t version.

Thanks..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DutchDogg54:

The Development section has rules about what can be posted here & the "original development" section is especially sacred in what is allowed...basically, if you didn't "create it," it doesn't belong in development and if you didn't "create it from scratch," it doesn't belong in original development.

I've moved your question to the Q&A section where it should have been posted originally. Please familiarize yourself with the rules link in my signature and adhere to those in the future to avoid future moderator interaction.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ekinnee:
[MENTION=4904180]nasvi[/MENTION] At this time there is no root or ability to flash anything other than AT&T roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nasvi:
Do you think something will be available in about 2 weeks.

I am thinking about returning/Selling the Note 4 since no root is available, and buying a One Plus One.

I refuse to use a device with all the crap Att has put on it (Bloatware, Spyware).

Oh well... if noting come up between now and my return date, I will say goodnye to sammy.

Thank you...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] robg2008:
I think you should have researched your purchase a little more of this is such a big issue for you. There will be root but you have to give it time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mircury:
Ya, I second that. Should have searched first. ATT = locked bootloader which means no easy root like T-mobile. Note 3 people with Kitkat had to wait 6 months for root. It was a similar wait for the S5. That exploit has been patched so it doesn't work on the Note 3 or Note 4. Expect to wait about 6 months for root.

Meanwhile, a dream team of the devs have moved to the T-mobile Note 4 which is compatible with ATT's network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
you didnt know this before buying the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nasvi:
No.. I did not..

I was assuming it would be as simple as HTC.

I got my HTC One the first day and within hours had bootloader unlocked and custom recovery installed, nandroid backup done, other non-Att stock ROM installed ( Developer Edition ). But I also had other options like ( Google Play Edition ). Downloaded Straight from official HTCDEV website.

I like the new Note 4 a lot.

But this is BS....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nasvi:
In addition to all the BS... att has removed Download Booster and internet calling options from settings. So I cant register a SIP account on my Note 4... This is just plain stupid...

What the Hell ATT???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Dude, I think from all of your posts that we understand you have a t-mobile Note 4 by now. It seems that you mention it in every post.

Not everyone is able to get a t-mobile Note 4 to use on the AT&T network for various reasons. I'm not saying you're asking him to in this particular response, but your song and dance is getting a little old.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mircury:
Ya, I agree I do feel like I'm beating a dead horse at times but people keep asking the same things. I'm just trying to help and give them the best options they have. Some have unrealistic expectations that root will be here in a week or a month and don't realize what has happened with previous Samsung phones. I saw the complaints, disappointment and $1000's of dollars in bounties in the note 3 and s5 forums and thought I would try and help as early as I could this time. I do feel like it's helped a great deal of people that would have made a mistake otherwise getting an ATT Note 4. Especially when it's so easy to avoid all the problems and have a great phone.

To me it's like buying a car from a dealer that puts a governor stuck at 45mph when you can go to the dealer across the street that lets you use it to the full potential.

I realize some people can't and that's fine. Feel free to ignore me. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
the problem is that if you want to buy it from the dealer across the street, you'll have to shell out $8xx, which most people cannot do. So they're forced to get the governed 45 mph device instead and hope that someone can help remove it.
