[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyperez0:
I recently made the decision to root my Note 3. I used the CF auto Root process with was wonderfully painless. I was pleased to see my Note was rooted and confirmed within minutes. I then (like I always do) attempted to reboot into whatever recovery I then had. I sadly ran into a recovery boot loop similar to this screenshot in the attached file.

I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. Once there I installed ROM Manager to verify what Recovery I had. It said I have CWM. So I attempted to update it and the update failed. (Re-attempted more than 5 times) I tried to install TWRP and I fell into another recovery boot loop.

I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. I tried to update CWM using ROM toolbox. (Allegedly successful) I attempted to reboot into recovery & ran into a recovery boot loop.

I reinstalled the .md5 via Odin and launched back into Android. I need a more solid way to update CWM. Better yet, I wonder why am I having so much difficulty updating it in the 1st place. Any thoughts? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: recovery issue

Here is what you can do to solve the recovery problem.

Here is a direct download link to TWRP recovery which you need to odin flash,

once you have odin flashed it you will no longer have any difficulties going into

the custom twrp recovery:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar

p.s. for best results forget about cwm and rom manager they are not needed for anything.

Good luck!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baropithecus:
Cheers people,

I've been having some trouble since upgrading to lollipop. Since flashing the lollipop factory image, something happened to the carrier settings on my nexus 5, I keep losing reception and LTE has stopped working -- only 3g/h is still working. I've tried resetting to factory conditions, the condition persists.

One thing that I've managed to find out by googling is that I should try updating my profile and PRL -- the trouble is, none of the instructions on how to do it work for me. I'm in Croatia, on t-mobile's cheapo virtual carrier 'bonbon'. I don't have the option in 'About phone', I don't have the option under 'Carrier settings', in fact I don't have the 'Carrier settings' option under 'Cellular network settings' at all. I've even tried ##UPDATE# and it doesn't work, though that may be Sprint specific. Does anyone have an idea how I could update my profile/PRL, or how I could get back LTE, and possibly boost my cell reception, because I suspect that's part of the same problem.

I've tried rooted and unrooted, with the stock and franco kernel.

Any ideas? I'm really getting really frustrated with this :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baropithecus:
Okay, answering myself for posterity: I just flashed the kitkat factory image, LTE came back and reception improved. Then I accepted the OTA, everything seems to be working fine now. It seems that the factory image had screwed up my APN settings for whatever reason. Looks like it's sometimes better to get the OTA update than to flash the factory image.

You can flash another 4.4.2 firmware regardless it's date.

You cannot flash another 4.2.2 firmware and restore the data, you will have crashes.

If you want to downgrade, take a firmware with the same KNOX version as the one you currently have, otherwise you will have problems.

ok this is little info there.. the usb is probly not in debugging mode.. *sigh*

I tried to delete cache/dalvik and so on.. but it still doesnt want to load, the recovery is CWM

So my question is Is it possible to enable usb debugging somehow? as Its stuck at the loading screen

also HTC one Toolkits don't work it doesn'T find the device.. but it finds my Htc one... for some odd reason

ADB doesn't work, I can't slideload and so on... help please D:

oh and the USB Hardware ID is USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0228

but i can'T find anything for it as it works on my other HTC one but not on this one.. >->

Edit: oh wow.. when I reboot from CWM into bootloader it says Root access is missing. Root device?

Yes - Root device (/system/xbin/su)

no nothing there
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You must use TWRP 2.6.3.3 to flash ARHD 82, not CWM!

It doesn't matter, debug mode is only to enable adb access when the phone is booted in the OS. You can still use adb from custom recovery and fastboot from bootloader mode.

It will not load unless you reflash it using twrp 2.6.3.3

not needed

don't use toolkit, use adb and fastboot directly from the command prompt

Looks like driver issue, install HTC drivers then you'll have adb wokring from custom recovery (TWRP)

Not needed, ARHD is pre-rooted

so flash twrp 2.6.3.3

fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then flash arhd again

if arhd is not on your phone memory anymore, use adb push or adb sideload then install from twrp. (adb push and sideload will only work if HTC drivers are installed and with adb version 1.0.29 and up)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dialgeta16:
thanks now it doest atleast something but it enters always back to recovery mode now...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
flash twrp 2.6.3.3:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

from twrp recovery (this will wipe your phone):

wipe everything

format data

reboot in recovery mode

then use adb to push the rom to your phone:

make sure your phone is booted in twrp main menu

make sure your rom in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot

adb push arhd.zip /sdcard/

the command prompt will be unresponsive for a few minutes.

when the push is completed, in twrp select "install" then select your arhd.zip and swipe to flash.

reboot your phone normally.

make sure the MD5 value of both the rom and the recovery are correct before flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] pi_key:
Hi xdadevelopers,

maybe my question is already answered anywhere here but i wasnt able to find anything related to it - so ill just ask :)

A few hours ago i updated my nexus 4 manually with the available OTA update to android 5.0 lollipop and found out that the lockscreen widgets were gone...

I was very used to using only one widget on my lockscreen but very frequently indeed. It was my flashlight...

So now of course i dont need a special flashlight app anymore but also im not able to activate the lollipop-onboard-flashlight from the lockscreen at all.

My question:

Is there already a workaround existing for that problem?

Ive found a lot of questions on the internet regarding the same fact but no actual solution. So maybe it is possible to work with the notifications (for example automatically pop up a notification with every "lock" that enables / disables the flashlight directly from the lockscreen) ?

I hope there is a solution for my problem already out there and i just wasnt able to find it yet :silly:

Found out by myself that one just hast to pull down the lockscreen to see a menu consisting the flashlight ....

:silly:

I've just tried holding a video call and to my surprise, my face appeared a rather off-putting shade of hot-pink.

obviously this isn't right, has anyone had this issue, and/or does anyone have a clue what can cause it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Schiffner:
I'm experiencing exactly the same issue! Unforunately this problem cannot be solved by performing a hard reset.

Having played around with the OV6650's registers (e.g. the image data output format setting) I'm quite sure that it's not caused by the camera module itself.

There might be something wrong with the ATI chip, the camera is connected to, or with the connection between them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raja Gopal:
I am looking to change my iphone 4S and thinking of picking some Android mid range device. After sometime of Googling I found Huawei Honor 6 pretty impressive on papers. So I decided to go for it but then I had a chance to check this device as my friend already had one :D The device is pretty good with rich display and good look however sound is pretty low for me. I am kinda music buff and it really irritates me.

I searched internet and found that Viper 4 Android might do the magic .

Anybody advise if its a problem with the device or Android OS designed for Huawei ?

Anybody using Viper4Android in Honor6 ? If so how is the performance

Hi,

I am looking to buy a note 4 but I am finding it a bit confusing to choose as I see different ones out there.

I have a note 3 now and it's the international model and I would very much like to buy the note 4 international model.

Am I correct in assuming that the N910F is the international model ?

[XDA Assist] jakireha:
Hi, everyone. I'm a proud owner of a Nexus 5 and I've been buying the new Nexus every year since the Galaxy Nexus. I live in Bosnia, and I've gotten lucky over the past few years with transportation, however this year I can't get it until June so I've been trying to make my mind up between a few other phones I can get immediately. I don't think it's much of an upgrade to buy an HTC One M8, or a Galaxy S5, so I've realized that the best upgrades to my current phone are the LG G3 and Note 4. Are there any other good phones that I'm forgetting?

The Note 4 would be perfect, but I really hate Touchwiz. I'm annoyed by it in every way shape and form. My friend has an S5, which is a pretty powerful phone, and Touchwiz still manages to stutter. If I was to root and flash Cyanogenmod onto the Note 4 I'd be losing quite a bit of what makes it the Note 4, so I'm really torn about that. My budget is around $700 so the Note 4 is a bit out of my price range, but if it's really worth it I could get the extra cash.

On the other hand, I have the G3. I've used one for a couple of hours today and it stutters quite a bit. This is probably because of its software. Would I lose much if I was to root and flash Cyanogenmod on it feature wise? Also, it has a Snapdragon 801 with an Adreno 330, while both the Nexus 6 and Note 4 have a Snapdragon 805 with an Adreno 420. Is there a significant difference in performance?

Thanks to anyone that helps!

Experienced Galaxy rooter here. I used Odin Mode on the Sg3 as well as my gf Pro tab 8.4 and my 10.1 as well. Ive never had problems until now. So here's what happened today:

This morning

I decided to install Twrp using Flashify. Having been rooted for months, it worked. I then installed Cm 11 using TWRP. I wiped cache and installed gapps from goo manager. Everything went smooth. I played around with it for about an hour. No problem.

Then I installed Team freezes ROM. I used flashify. Everything seemed normal, then I realized I couldn't get past Samsung title screen. So i plugged up to Odin and installed stock Recovery. Nothing. Reinstalled TWRP... can't get into Twrp. Used Odin again to install Phillz.. Nothing.

Once again I installed original stock through Odin. Here I am again stock at the Samsung boot screen. I can only do three things 1. Turn off 2. Reset 3.odin mode

What do i do?

I just want to get this thing to boot so i can see what happened or at lest into some sort of recovery where i can load from sd

IMHO there are only two phones that could truly replace the thc universal:

1.) Samsung G900

2.) HTC Omni

The Specs are damn juicy, they faster and smaller than the HTC Universal and they have WVGA (800x600)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] fallenczar:
1) its toshiba g900

wvga is 800x400

but in my limited experience with uni i can tell you that it is very hard to find software that supports vga...so you can imagine how bad the support for wvga would be...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bitbonk:
wrong again, according to the spec wvga comes in the following flawors:

720 x 400 (18:10),

800 x 480 (15:9),

848 x 480 (<16:9),

852 x 480 (>16:9)

864 x 480 (18:5)

Anyway both the toshiba g900 (yeah, not samsung :) ) and the HTC Omni come with a wvga (800x480) screen.

I don't know what apps you need/use but all apps that I need do support vga/wvga (such as MS Mobile Office, Mobile Opera, Acrobat Reader, NewsGator Go, Total Commander Mobile, Live Messenger ...)

If you took the NG6 update and did not root it afterwards, you no longer have root so you don't need to worry about it.
