[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alb3rtt:
Just messaged him. Just thought i should post here to let others know.

"Hi i have a water damaged nexus 5 which can boot (but dead lcd and digitizer) and is fully functioning when normally turned on. (Can hear notifications, and is detected normally). However, when its at the bootloader its detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. (twrp was installed, but cant get into it).

I want to sell it for parts but I have no way of doing a factory reset to remove my data from it. How do i know my data is still on there? Because i was able to get into the storage and get my photos, music, etc from it when it booted normally (before digitizer died, after lcd died).

If i am of any help, just reply. If not, then im sorry."

Hopefully my "bricked?" nexus can help the community and myself cause currently its a brick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Water damaged is different.. That's physical damage. Can't reverse that with software
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alb3rtt:
So.. my data is trapped on that nexus... and its of no use...

Just was wondering cause it had the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 issue.

Would you say it safe to sell that phone for parts even though it has personal contacts and my debit card on it? I think i had a pattern lock on it (but lets just say i didnt), would you think they would be able to access that data?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It depends how determined they are. Plus i doubt its worth anything due to the damage. I'd scrap it info were you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alb3rtt:
Ill find a creative way of destroying it.. lmao
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Haha

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
BUMP!BUMP!BUMP!

I have something working. I can read and write partitions when phone is in qdloader 9008 mode, but before publishing I want to test it on some real hard bricked nexus to make it sure it works.

Edit: Tested. I bricked and unbricked my device a few times. I am making a thread about it in the General forum.

hi guys,i have a problem with my phone,it doesn't charge fully,it stops at 90%. when it succed in reaching 100% in few minutes it returns to 90% without using it, I've changed 2 batteries,flashed different kernels,roms factory images of previous android versions,someone help me please!!
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
I don't know whether this question has already been asked here but since I'm a newbie and this Droid 4 is my only Android phone (all others are Windows Phones), I'd like to ask this one:

I performed the partition of my phone's memory and split it 50/50 so that I could boot into the stock ROM if something would go wrong with CM11 updates. Not the wisest move since I'm not using that stock ROM at all :(

OK, the memory of my phone (where I'm running CM11) is running out so therefore I'd need to know:

1) Is there a way to modify the partition afterwards without losing any information from the memory of my phone?

2) Is there a way to move apps from phone's internal memory and SD card (a.k.a. sd card 0) to an external SD card (a.k.a. sd card 1)? I have 64Gb micro SD where I could move lots of stuff if I'd only know how.

And my apologies if this question has already been asked here.
[Motorola Droid 4] eis0r:
try foldermount from playstore...
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
I'm fully aware of that app but it's not free.

Any other choices???
[Motorola Droid 4] eis0r:
well i can only recommend Foldermount since im using it myself and the basic features are free and satisfy my needs fully.

but hey, the full version costs only ~2 dollars or so...

After restoring a previous backup via TWRP, I always get this error. I've deleted every file swiftkey has from my phone and still nothing. Any help?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeGaBeSuNTa:
Hi everyone.

Im having a root issue.

Ive rooted my Galaxy S4 with no problems at all. My firmware version is I9505XXUGNG8.

However when i try to go to the Clockworkmod recovery i can't do it.

It simply goes to the normal system recovery. I want to install a custom rom, so this way i cant do it.

Ive tried some workarounds but the problem continues.

Is there anyway known to fix this?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeGaBeSuNTa:
Well for what ive read the real problem is the firmware itself and KNOX App.

There is no CF Auto Root for this firmware. Theres some turn arounds but not so easy as the normal rooting mode.

I will try to get an older firmware cause the only thing i want is to put a custom rom

Hello ppl,

You have to try this rom, [ROM][JB .96][XS/SL][UB] Fenics Smooth Rom 5.0 "Skyline" - Stock Based + MODS. Trust me you will enjoy it, it's a stock based with some kicks to it and mods.

It's super smooth and what you get on a original rom but more and better and more stable. The camera works like a bomb and there's no lags at all. The tread is closed but you can still download and use it, I haven't come across a rom that's this good ever.

"Arguing on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics, even if you win your're still retarded"

Bearing that in mind ill just say this: If you searched (or even looked at the first page) you would find exactly what you are looking for, how do you think i learn't all this stuff? not one useless thread like this i can tell you...

"We" don't get paid to help people, so we find it a bit annoying when people ask questions that have been answered at least 5 times already....

Have a nice day

[Edit]

Just looking through your recent posts and almost all your questions have been answered before and/or are in the wiki so I'll just give it to you again in case you missed it before

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Windowsrookie:
Yet, You still haven't show me a link. I dont see anything on the front page like you said. And that's good, you shouldn't be paid, because you're doing a horrible job.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] kimcng:
I am also very very curious about this human behavior:

People would ask before they think;

People would post questions and request for helps (and angry about not getting any help from perfectly strangers), when they do not want to invest their own time to read through the threads which contain the answers they have been looking for. Obviously, they prefer to waste other people's time...

The same questions have been answered over, and over, and over, and over, again, and again, and again, ...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fergusstrachan:
Put your handbags away children.

It's not hard to look around a bit for information before asking - the layout is such that you can probably find what you want easily.

But coming back with a sh1tty reply is not helpful and doesn't add to the atmosphere of what is generally a good board.

That's my two-bob's worth. A bit of common sense and civility goes a long way. hehe.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tyl:
Seriously windowsrookie, educate yourself by looking through the universal topics on WM5, otherwise you'll probably screw up your machine when updating it anyway.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SpyderTracks:
Well said, tyl. A bit of research goes a long way... I foolishly upgraded my radio ROM before properly reading the boards and fried my universal. Totally pointless excercise since there was nothing wrong with the original ROM.

I thinks that's not needed, i dave story: that time i'm at my travel to other city, but I have a prob with my Device (Not a PPC) but I have to use it, I call for service they just said: send it for service, hello i'm outside of town and need that think work, then i'm looking for help in web and found a forum (not xda-dev, like i said my device is not PPC), I register and send my first post for looking for help.Guess what i have reply just in 4 hour and it fix my problem.

So maybe someone who really need help will face trouble if noob can't post.

Just let they search, if not find any post, but remember, if no anyone reply in 1 day, do search again maybe you miss that.

Because i'm sure many talented people in this forum, which make this forum muc, much, much, much and much better than any service point.

Be cool headed, coz we are here from different country, respect others.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Windowsrookie:
As I already said, I tried searching. Go and try this type "WM 5" into the search. You will get no results....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
If at first you don't succeed, give up and ask because it's easier.

Alternatively, try "WM5" or maybe "Windows Mobile 5".

Sometimes you should just give up completely and think to yourself, hey man, if I can't even work out how to use search, can I really flash a ROM without breaking my device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Hokum:
Search limitations!

Err wm5 would bring up millions of results, and only a few would be useful, imagine searching for w and the number of results.

This is why most search engines require more then 3 characters to search with. This is why GPS or WM5 or ROM would not be found. WM5 ROM however probably would create a search string...

OK no it doesnt either, try "optimized wm5" that would work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
But you're assuming that someone would be willing to try more than one alternate search string to help themself.

This was obviously not the case.

Either way, I don't think this person cares, I know I don't, so perhaps it's time for a good old fashioned thread locking barn dance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Timeshell:
Maybe it's just me, but is this thread really worth continuing? Just delete it as it's just wasting space on the board.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SpyderTracks:

Hello all,

I had a question. My wife dropped her AT&T LG G2 and the screen cracked. The screen is now unresponsive. Is there a way to retrieve the contacts on the phone? The phone is not rooted. Thanks.
[AT&T LG G2] crad614:
Shooting in the dark here, but I think contacts are backed up on the Google account...aren't they? Every time I reflash my phone , i allow google to restore my account to my phone and it automatically restores contacts. You can even restore your contacts to somebody else's phone with your sim card in it, then save the contacts to your sim card, and then transfer them to any other phone. But that only works if you've synced your phone with Google of course.
[LG Optimus G (International)] boflit:
I got what I thought was an international version of the E975, but it has turned up with F180-HK firmware running. Now this is for my daughter, so she doesn't need (nor do I want) it rooted. I just want to put a working international/Europe version of the firmware on.

It seems that LG firmware upgrades are considerably more complex than Samsung, so I have been getting mighty confused.

Is it really such a palava to update? can I not just drop an E97520A firmware on it then flash the baseband if necessary? or do I really need to go through rooting, freegee, hold 17 buttons and wait for narnia to open and then flash it, but not before I've stood on my head, put a cork up my butt with my own teeth and then rebooted 9 times?

[Samsung Galaxy 551 Callisto] Wilficus:
Problem with recovery

I didn't have problems before with installing any rom or recovery, I think I've passed through all of possible combinations, but this time, it's terribly buggy :/

I started from stock rom 2.3.6 XEO (as always) then installed CWM Custom Recovery "CWM-5.0.2.8_GAZZY.tar" (need some cwm to update, right?) but stock rom didn't find "flash_image" just like few other roms (arkas for ex.)

Finally Burnmode's KitKatSpecialEdition didn't alert about anything missing and it just jumped to the next line. (success I think, right?) The problem is that when I reboot into recovery it flashes a blank, black screen and reboots leaving my phone recovery-less ! What do I do wrong? Since then I tried many roms and most of them don't work anymore (no luck with cm10.2 for example, KitKat special edition works, so it's the only thing I can now run without bugs, but it's BurnMode's rom, it always works well)

I downloaded recovery.img "2014-12-04 22:43:18" which is the newest (at least now!) is there a problem with the recovery, my phone or maybe I am doing something wrong? My options are now very limited since many things crash my phone (can't flash a stock rom anymore, might be hard to do it again)
