Installing from MyPhone A919 Duo Stock! Thank You, Final Mizwa.

For all MyPhone A919 Duo users

Just in case other novices are also coming from stock rom (meaning the original rom your phone came from), this is what I did.

1. Installed Framaroot

2. Install SU with Boromir exploit.

3. If Super User isn't installed in your phone (the Super Man logo with a # sign), download it from Playstore and install (because Framaroot didn't install it)

Note: Don't bother using Rom Manager because it will only way that Clockwork will make use of phone's recovery.

3. Installed Mobile Uncle MTK tools.

4. Download recovery.img from facebook (dot)com/MyphoneA919DuoUsers/posts/251200881698839

5. Copied file downloaded recovery.img to SD Card.

6. Went to Mobileuncle and tapped Recovery Update.

7. Selected recovery.img file copied on SD Card

8. Rebooted to CWM recovery.

9. Installed zip from SD Card. I went to toggle signature verification. I selected it twice because it will say Signature Verification: Enabled. On the second select, it will say Disabled.

10. Install Mizwa.zip

Hope this helps everybody who had a hard time installing from a stock rom.

Guys please i need help my xperia z1 is rooted on custom rom i tried to put recovery so i installed it then reboot doesent work anymore

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaeedFazlollahzadeh:
Just flash it
[G4] kittenish:
I've hard-reset a couple of times lately (to recover from a crazy spree of playing with registry files/checking out freeware) and a reset or two ago, as I opened the Extended_Rom folder with Total Commander to run the MMS cab, I realised a bunch of the files I usually see there are missing.

Normally I see all the files listed in the config file (all operator customisations/everything beginning with 'Signed_') in the extended rom, but now I only have the ones you can see in the first screenshot. I didn't have the software installed (soft reset before it started) but the cab files were usually there any way.

I did play about with trying to remove a few of them (Signed_DisableBeam for one) but I didn't think I'd been successful & I didn't try and delete them all, so... I'm confused! I've hard-reset since then and they haven't come back.

Does anyone know what happened/what it sounds like?

&also (although I'm guessing the answer is 'no' -- it can't be that easy :P) can I edit/overwrite the config file with one of my own, leaving out the O2 customisation?

(Phone info is in my sig, in case you need it.)

Thanks! :)
[G4] riptos:
I think you may find that they are still there but hidden and will not be installed. Try reflashing your extended rom or create your own with Faria's turorial found here:

[G4] mestrini:
my theory is that extended_rom allows edition (via WindowsMobile OS) but does a checksum at boot. as a protection it blanks itself whenever the checksums fail.

As a solution I advise a reflash of that area alone (via edited RUU)

cheers
[G4] NeoDragon:
Hi,

I have a question about this subject.

I seem to be having this same problem (curiousity kills sometimes)

However after many attempts at reflashing my device the ext rom never showed again and completley disappeared. many hard resets have failed. Its not something I'm really all to worried about, it's just I find it odd that no ext roms from any installations will work at all.

Could it be because it's a tmo mda by chance or that is a G4?

I've tried every rom under the sun so to speak.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

[G4] mestrini:
well, you DO have a G4 device but since G4 have DOC write protection enabled and can't downgrade to ROMs bellow 1.06 i don't think that using pdocwrite would help here (i've used it before in mt G3 to solve such issue)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
Took my N4 out last night for Halloween and once it got dark the camera automatically turned on night mode. This mode sucks cause it has to process pics and tells you to hold still while processing. I could not turn it off. Did I miss the setting?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
I took a few pictures in the dark, or in low light, and not only are the picture phenomenally good, the "hold still" only took about 1/2 second. If you wanted to turn it off, disabling picture stabilization would be what you would need to do, i already had this problem on the S5 but i don't see the option here, also dont expect OIS to do its job if you turn that off
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
Yours looks more crisp than mine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
Maybe you have a problem because all my low light pictures look crisp and the "hold still" last less than 1/2 second. I know on the S5 it could last a few seconds.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
I'll just use the flash. I rarely take night shots. During the day the shots look good.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Well I hope your experience is more common because I don't like the sound of not being able to turn off all these processing that makes taking pics longer.

I am in the market for a Note 4, returned my Note 3 for a Note 2 because low light sucked. It looks like the Not.e 4 is an improvement but this night mode thing, based on my searching, it doesn't appear to be problematic for people?

Did you ever own a Note 2 and Note 3 and can you comment on how good the night pics are compared to Note 4?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
I'm coming from the LG G3 to the Turbo, and thought I'd post some photo samples, as well as signal levels on the cellular and WiFi radios.

Overall first impressions, it's not what I was expecting. I knew the camera would most likely be worse, but with the G3 every photo was good. I'm not saying the Turbo can't take good photos, the HDR shot here is pretty good, but the sunset HDR I took last night is awful. For the following photos, the settings were as close to equal as possible. HDR was enabled for the first shot, and disabled for the rest, flash off, 16:9 ratio, and on auto mode. For the radio screen shots, the 1x and WiFi screenshot was with both phones in the exact same spot on my desk, and for the LTE shot I was holding the phone in the same location and same orientation.

As far as the radio goes, it seems to be on par or slightly better than the G3, but the WiFi is consistently worse.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobilehavoc:
G3 has OIS right? Explains why it's brighter...one downside to Turbo camera - if only it has OIS. I will say the Droid Turbo pics seem to be more natural to my eyes when looking at them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Thanks for the comparison, if u get a chance tell us how battery life is between the two. I had the G3 and I needed something with a little more juice so I gave it to my gf and am currently waiting to buy something lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
The G3 does have OIS, but that doesn't necessarily mean the photos will be brighter, I think the phone compensates though by allowing for a slower shutter speed, which then increases light instead of relying on an insanely high ISO (noise). IMO, the first HDR shot looks overly processed with higher than normal saturation on both the Turbo and Moto X, where as the LG G3 has a less processed look, with more natural colors, as it is a very dark and dreary day out today.

I'm using them both relatively the same today, so I'll post back once I get a few more hours of use between the two.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Erasmus354:
Yes the OIS is why it is brighter for exactly the reason you stated. The OIS allows the shutter to stay open longer without making a blurry picture. Shutter open longer = more light in = brighter picture.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jdougal11:
Thanks so much for this post. I was strongly considering moving to the Turbo from my G3 which I love. Guess I'll hold on to the G3 just a little bit longer. Maybe the Nexus 6 will be my next device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
I may end up returning my Turbo as well. The biggest thing is the G3 is rooted, debloated, and I have several Xposed modules to improve battery, something that may never happen with the Turbo.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlach:
Hey all,

Having a small issue with my Verizon LG G2.

When I first got it on launch, I rooted it, installed loki (to bypass the locked boot loader) and have been running custom ROMs.

This is the way I ahve been running it since, on 12B, with loki and CM11.

Before I installed custom roms I did a image backup using Clockwork.

Yesterday I bought a Droid Turbo, so it was time to restore the G2 in preparation for sale.

I attempted to restore my original backup of the stock image, but it failed (stating something about an inability to restore/system, resulting in a soft bricked phone.

I fixed this by downloading the LG Flash tool, and the stock 24A .kdz image, putting the phone in download mode and flashing it.

The LG flash tool seemed a bit buggy, complaining about not finding servers, but eventually flashed the phone with the .kdz.

Everything seems to have worked well. Root is gone, clockwork is gone, (and I assume loki is gone as well, but I can't tell) but now I can not do the latest OTA updates, and am stuck on 24A.

It's not that it downloads the OTA, and then fails to install it, but rather it complains that it is unable to download the updates at all.

I was thinking this might have something to do with the fact that the CDMA radio is now unactivated (since I got a new phone) and it somehow needs to verify with the Verizon network prior to downloading, so I grabbed a working SIM and popped it it in. Even with 4G via the SIM, the OTA downloads don't succeed.

Does the CDMA radio need to be activated in order for a phone to receive OTA updates? If not, I ahve something else wrong going on, and would appreciate any suggestions regarding fixing it.

The plan was to sell the LG G2 to pay for my Droid Turbo upgrade, but I don't want to sell the phone to someone if I think it may be having issues.

I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions from you guys!

[General Topics] davidkrizak:
Why they cant make some universal,i mean i have basic proggraming knowledge,and dont understan why its imposible
[General Topics] shinobisoft:
Basically because each device has a different feature set and thus requires a separate kernel. Also, to compile a kernel that supports multiple devices will drastically increase the size of the kernel. Each device has a limit to the size of the boot image that can be installed. I could go on and on about reasons why there are no universal ROMs.

I have been a Windows programmer for 20 years. ROM programming and application programming are not the same.

[HTC Wildfire S] rhys_w:
Hi all,

First post and very much a newbie, so please be patient with me.

I have rooted a HTC Wildfire s A510e(Marvel) and installed cyanagenmod 11 (cm-11-20141025-NIGHTLY-marvel) (android version 4.4.4) and gapps-4.4-tocache-20141026-2.

I wanted to install the Chrome browser so went to the app store and it states "your device is not compatible with this version".

I read about workarounds in using the Market Helper app. This however fails as it infinite loops on stage 2.

So then looked at another workaround in editing build.prop. I downloaded BuildProp Editor and edited Ro.product.model to "One X" and then rebooted. However when going back to the app store I still get the same error.

I then changed Ro.product.model (GT-I9500) and Ro.product.manufacturer (samsung) to be Samsung Galaxy S4 and its still showing the same error. Does anyone have any suggestions? All I want is to install the chrome browser I don't care about any other apps. Is there another way I can do this?

Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkmichik:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab SGH-T849 that I attempted to upgrade. On the About device screen, it has the following information:

Model number GT-P1000

Firmware Version 2.3.3

Kernel version 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEP-52 #2

Build n umber GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1

Now comes the problem

Baseband version Unknown

Then on the status page, it has

IMEI Unknown

IMEI SV Unknown

Nearest I can tell, the EFS folder has nothing in it. I was very stupid and didn't create a backup.

Is there any way I can fix this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Just flash a stock ROM using Odin.

For example the overcome GB-stock-safe-v5.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkmichik:
I tried following the “Re-”Stocking” procedure in the installation guide. I went all the way through step 9. Still nothing in the efs folder/directory. Feeling dumber by the minute:(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Re-do it again.

Up to step 6 is what matters.

After restock, let it boot completely and check the phone status.

What is the IMEI now, is it 35XXXXX

Maybe you just can't see your /efs
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkmichik:
Ran through step 6 again. The IMEI number is still unknown. I used the TMobile modem since it was a TMobile device.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkmichik:
Since I wasn't getting anywhere with getting the imei back, I tried loading I9003_EFS_ODIN_BLANK_TEMPLATE.tar. I know have the following files in the efs directory

nv.log

nv_data.bin

imei

nv_data.bin.md5

I now have a 0049*********** IMEI rather than a 0035*********** number. I tried re-installing the GB_Stock_Safe_v5 and still have the invalid IMEI.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
No idea.

When you flash GB stock safe with Odin, you use pit file and choose repartition, right?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkmichik:
I've done that several times. At least now that I have some sort of IMEI, the GPS is working. Just can't get it to pick up the real IMEI number or the serial number.

If you want to remove it you can follow the instructions in post 2 of this thread which help you with saving your OTA zip if you plan to update to to 4.4.4 (only need to save it if your carrier's version isn't there already) or dump your current hboot if you plan on staying on 4.2.2.

Also, not sure where/why you got 2.7.0.0 on there, but as of 10/22 2.8.1.0 is the official version. Yes, the version of TWRP posted here on XDA is for KitKat devices, but the official builds from their website work fine on JB (4.2.2) devices.
