[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ashyford:
Wow. Thanks for the quick response but I don't think you read my message.

As posted above, I used Flashify to flash the official 2.8.3.0 img. However, the phone rebooted into Download Mode with no selectable menu options and stating it could not boot normally and write protection is enabled. Neither a long power button hold, a long power button hold + plus volume up, nor a battery pull would stop the phone from booting immediately into Download Mode.

I used the combo volume up + home button + long power button and instead of the previous Download Mode screen, a different screen pops up giving me two choices continue loading a custom OS or rebooting. When I select "reboot", the phone reboots normally. When I tried to enter TWRP recovery without using Flashify, the phone reboots to Download Mode again. When I tried to use Flashify to flash a zip of TWRP 2.8.1.0, Flashify could not access the zip. I tried the TWRP app (which didn't work so well for me in the past), and it too leads to Download Mode when I try to flash the 2.8.1.0 zip or install OpenRecovery Script 2.8.1.0.

Unfortunately, my USB port is non-functional. (It died in an accident a few months back.) I cannot connect to my laptop via wire connection. (I can use FTP and bluetooth to transfer files and FTP to traverse the file system.)

Without being able to enter recovery mode nor using ADB, any ideas how can install or restore a functional recovery?

Thanks!

I did read your post. If flashify isn't working then your going to have to try the dd command from a terminal emulator on your device.

I am on this AT&T phone. Read through multiple thread but still confused.

1. I am able to root the phone and install safestrap

2. I tried installing many TWRP/CWM recoveries, either by flashing through terminal emulator/ flashing TWRP on safestrap etc. Nothing working so far.

Any idea what's possible on my phone? I want to use Kangapop (Android 5.0) or something similar.

You can use twrp or cwm on nj4 bootloader. Safestrap is the only recovery you can use

I assume you said "I Can't". Does that mean I cannot install GPE 5.0 ROMS like Kangapop? Can I use Flashify?

The latest official version is 2.8.5.0, 2.8.6.0 isn't considered stable or official for our device.

If your lower than 2.8.4.0 you gotta upgrade to 4.0 before you can flash the new

[Sprint LG Optimus G] surikan12:
Hello!

This particular issue is driving me mad.

Issue :

1) Google Play, Google Wallet, Google Hangouts, Account Sync shows connection Error.

"check your connection and try again"

2) No matter which ROM I use, Stock or Custom, Play Store, Wallet, ETC does not work.

3) I can watch youtube videos, surf the web etc, but ALL THINGS RELATED TO GOOGLE is not working. Only Gmail works.

What I've tried :

1) Factory Reset - 8 Times

2) Wiping Cache/Dalvik Cache - 100+ times

3) Re-Installs - 60+ times

4) Tried 5 Different ROMs(Including Stock)

5) Tried 3 Different GAPPS package

6) Tried Updating

7) Tried Clearing App Data&cache

8) Tried Using VPN

9) Tried Syncing Time/Date

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!!

I'm living in korea and I'm using the US version of Optimus G LS970(Just moved a month ago). - Might this be a problem? Different Country?

My Optimus G LS970 doesn't have 3G/4G Data Connection. I am using Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 5 ROM.

WiFi is functioning PERFECTLY.

Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
It might be related to the US device being used in Korea, but I think it is more related to APN's. What carrier are you using? Can you get the APN's for that carrier? Use an app on the play store called Change APN

I found the same thing happening to me in the US on Sprint. I got the "waiting for network" until I changed the APN.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] surikan12:
I'm using the default Sprint APN. Though I don't know what use it will be since I don't have data connection to Sprint here in korea. My plan blocks connection from overseas.

APN : n. ispsn

[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Try the one that says Sprint LTE internet. The default one is the one that caused me problems.

Also, the block might be the reason if it is trying to connect to an overseas carrier. Try to get the information from your provider, they will have it and should provide it to you. With the information, you can add a new APN and set that to default.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] surikan12:
Nothing works..... Sigh....

Contacted Google Support but they failed to diagnose and fix the problem. They Transferred my issue to their "Special Technicians" and I haven't received any anwers yet.

Now, I'm talking with an LG representative but hasn't been fixed yet.

Contacted Sprint too but their so-called technicians have no idea how to fix this.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon114:
Hey guys, I just got a G3 a couple weeks ago. There's a lot to like about the phone, but coming from a Note 2 for the last couple years with a ton of different ROMs, this stock phone seems to have bugs like those, even though it shouldn't (as well as a lack of the dev community. Where are all the ROMs and kernels for this?? I have the D85010f variant, which doesn't look like there are any options for?).

One thing I have a problem with is wifi. When I'm at home and turn on wifi, I would expect that my phone automatically connect to my wifi. However, it tries to connect to some phantom, open network called 0x, and in order to connect to my own network, I have to long press the wifi toggle and manually select my wifi every time. Why? Why can't I set precedence for connections? Better yet, why is there no toggle to NOT automatically connect to open wifi automatically?

Secondly, why isn't there a brightness slider? My friend's G3 on VZW has it. Why doesn't ours?

Often, when sending texts, it sits there for quite a long time trying to send the text, even with full connection. Further, I like customizing my phone, and one of the things I really like about the ROM I came from on my N2 was pulsing LED. The LED on this phone pulses when you double tap the screen, and on boot/shutdown, so why isn't there an option to have pulse instead of blink for notifications? I guess that's more personal preference.

I think there were some other things that I'm forgetting right now, but I'll edit when/if I remember them. Have I just been too spoiled with ROMs in the past?

[Asus ZenWatch] Cessquill:
Slightly random question, but can anybody with the Zenwatch advise on how large the strap is? As in, what size wrist it'll accommodate?

My wrists are stupidly large (don't ask, I have no idea), so I'm wondering whether I'll need to swap the band out. They''re about 220mm (about 8.6 in). That's assuming it ever gets to my country.
[Asus ZenWatch] Lightfall:
The included strap will not fit anything above roughly 7.5 inches. However, the strap is extremely easy to change out, and there should be plenty of 3rd party straps that will fit your needs.
[Asus ZenWatch] dgjenkins:
As a note, the watch is pretty long so after market straps will have an exaggerated length. I'd say I have a medium wrist but I'm using the shortest setting on the aftermarket strap I bought.
[Asus ZenWatch] Cessquill:
Thanks for that guys - looks like an after-market strap. I don't suppose the Asus clasp can be redeployed onto a different strap, do you think? I've seen similar accessories out there, but I don't know much about that sort of thing.
[Asus ZenWatch] dgjenkins:
I highly doubt it. The bottom part could probably work if you found just the right band but the top part (the clasp past that says "asus") is pinned and I can't imagine it would be very easily modified. Not even sure the pin can be removed. The way Asus made the band removable from the watch is pretty slick though and makes me think they plan on coming out with different interchangeable bands. Who knows when though....
[Asus ZenWatch] Cessquill:
Thank you. After having a look, a lot of the places that sell straps also sell "deployment clasps" (a new term for me). An after-market option that replaces the buckle of a strap with a unit that then slots into one of the holes. They seem to be fairly universal and, whilst possibly not being as slick as the supplied clasp they perform the same task. It would seem that you could replicate the advantages of the stock strap.

Something like these (I think) http://www.watchworx.co.uk/pages/access/deploy.html (random Google result - I have no affiliation)
[Asus ZenWatch] l_stevens:
Yes, you CAN reuse the ASUS deployment clasp.

http://xdaforums.com/zenwatch/general/replacement-band-t2951630
[Asus ZenWatch] Cessquill:
Thank you - yes - I'd seen that. Would appear you need a band that tapers from 22mm to 18mm (or can do some modifications.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] aditvats:
Hey, It is a long story, I will tell it briefly. I have a tablet iball 7271, I know off branded, I bought it because it was slimmer and goodlooking.

I rooted it after and accidentally uninstalled two services: Atciservice, and BackupAndRestore.

My tablet doesn't boot up, It just keep showing iball logo.

I had taken nandroid backup before but i don't know how to recover it. If i try to flash CWM.zip, it says "Invalid OTA package, missing scatter. Installation aborted"

But then I just extracted those apk (Atciservice, and BackupAndRestore.) i uninstalled from backup and tried to install it. But my tablet is only working if I type "ADB sideload etc... " And if i try to send apk through sideload it shows "Installation aborted".

How can i make a flashable zip file to start my tablet? Or any other solution? I tried hard reset, problem is same. If anyone knows how can I just make it work then please tell.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidDestoryer:
After trying to root my tablet with ZenFoneRoot, my Tablet went into Demo mode and I couldn't use it at all. I tried flashing with the classic ASUS method (putting the firmware on the SD and updating) but after the update completed, demo mode was still there. So I went into fastboot mode and did a "fastboot wipe system", realising after that I can flash everything except for the system/ directory, which was not a .img file (duh, silly me).

If I select recovery from DroidBoot, I get a message saying "Installing system update" followed by "Error" and that's it... no recovery menu, no nothing.

What should I do to recover my tablet?

Here are the contents of my update zip file from ASUS.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidDestoryer:
A few days later, I contacted Asus, explained the problem and they asked me to send my tablet somewhere out of town and I have to pay for the service (which I think will cost me 50% of the tablet's value). Well this didn't help at all.

I even tried writing a bash script that would fastboot flash system/path for every file in the system directory (yes, flashing ~1000 files took me 30 minutes). But the tablet won't start, even though the files are there and I wiped the system & cache partition before. I still don't understand how the recovery option works or why "wipe data" gives me an error. All I need is a valid system.img file, that's all.

From my research, I'm starting to think that the .zips are signed with SignAPK.

Sorry for asking this question, over and over again. I just want to share my progress with this, seeing that there are some posts without replys regarding this product and with the same problem).

What if I compile Android, copy the libs/ and etc/ directories and flash the resulting system.img (will try this tomorrow).

[Xposed General] spottedkangaroo:
I forgot how irritating the stock android is. I was going to try to lollipop for a couple days, but after only a just a few hours I coudl't take it anymore. Glad I made a nandroid before I installed that update. Those headsup notifications, that annoying immerisve mode panic, the loss of my navbar buttons, the new volume controls (randomly changing the various volumes under some inexplicable priority strategy) and various other things. I mean, it was bad. I hated it. I bet this is the best Android ever if you use your phone as a phone and not as a computer that happens to make phone calls — but that's not me. I'm just not the average aggregated user Google is targgeting.

I haven't seen a lot of people posting that they can't move to lollipop because: no Xposed and Gravity Box; but I wanted to put this out there in case someone like me was feeling down for wanting to revert to KitKat. Just do it. Personally I'm wating for 5.1 or for ART Xposed or ... something. I'm sad I'll miss out on the new camera, but the rest of it just isn't worth the headaches.
