[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Hello,

I thought of myself as a pretty experienced user, but you never learn enough!

However, I flashed some roms (lollipop) that, probably due to my mistakes, screwed up my file system, to the point that my recovery (latest PhilZ) wasn't able to find its backup anymore. Eventually I solved the problem as I was able to find my backups and use them to revert my phone to the rom I wanted to run (Carbon 4.4.4). But I was really annoyed by the fact that my file system was a bit off and still I was having problems with the recovery. So I decided to begin investigating the possibility to restore my phone to factory default. Before going with it, I tried the soft approach, i.e. I used the soft factory reset available from the settings menu. It all seemed fine and I re-flashed a lollipop rom that suited me.

Now the problem is that, after all the ordeal, I decided to make a new backup and so I did. It appears all fine, my recovery can actually "see" it, but I cannot identify it using a root browser! It seems to have disappeared unless I open the recovery and then I see it there. It is located in a folder that I can, of course, access, but,when I do so, I can't find the file!

I tried to put on my phone an old backup (always a PhilZ one), but when I try to put it on the phone I can't find the Backup folder in the Clockworkmod folder!

Anyone has any idea of what is going on and can give me a suggestion on how to overcome the problem?

Thanks

Luca

PS An alternative would be suggesting how to do a restore from a sideload: I thought I saw a similar option, but I can't seem to find it anymore within the recovery's options! I tried also restoring via NRT, but although all seem to go fine and the software return no failure notice, I can't find the backup file that should have been pushed (successfully) on my device!

Its not a recovery issue. Its an L issue.

Best thing to do would be to wipe data and storage then fastboot flash userdata.IMG

How can I find the img. file to flash?

Would it be ok to just go ahead and start from 0 using this:

How can fastboot flash an image file? I've never done that before! As I said, been doing this for a while, but never done this before...I think!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Alas, after reading your post on one-click toolkits, I'm afraid I'm one of those who thinks they can do things, but rely on simple tools to do them. However, I never (almost never) forgot to make a nandroid backup before flashing a new rom and, to be honest, I'm not a flashoolic. I never, ever bricked my phone (got a few bootloops). If I find a rom that suits my need, I stick with it for as long as I can.

The changes between KK and L are such that are beyond my comprehension, but I try hard to solve the problems I have without bugging everyone at the first obstacle. But now, after fidgeting with my phone for 2 days, I had to give up. With a few words, you singled out the reason why I couldn't come on top of this: things change and I was not informed of how much they did!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Problem partially solved..I think! Now I can see the folder and found my backup!!

I used the restorecon command you suggested. I couldn't make it work using terminal emulator (just did not accept the su command: why I don't really know). Then I thought about using adb shell via pc and, I really surprised myself; I was able to pull it through. I'm not totally brain damaged as I felt when I couldn't even reproduce the command you indicated. It is probably the application that doesn't work. It was my first time with adb shell, so a new thing learned.

However, now I would like to ask you: if I place in the proper folder the backup folder I saved on my pc, will I be able to restore the nandroid backup? I just need some data that I forgot (trivial things, such as text messages and a few app data, like passwords and stuff) but it would be useful.

Thanks once more for your help.

I know this not a Moto X problem but I thought I would see if anyone here has any insight. A buddy of mine has an iPhone 6+ and he can see any emoticons I send. Be it from Messages, Messenger, or Hangouts.

Another friend of mine has an iPhone 5c and just gets a weird symbol with a question mark regardless of what app I send the SMS in. They both have the emoticon keyboard turned on, both iOS 8.1.1

I have tried troubleshooting the hell out of it but I just can't figure it out so if anyone has any thoughts please do share :). (And yes I know the best solution would be to convince my friend to get rid of that POS 5c but currently not an option so I have to make do lol)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffy210:
I've seen similar issues and that is most likely because the emoticons being sent aren't true emoticons in the sense you're thinking. Rather than sending a ":)" for a smile, most likely it's being converted to a unicode character set. This is fine when sent to other devices that have the same keyboard layout, but devices like the iPhones use their own interpretation (again, good for sending between them). There are probably some workarounds but that'd take more to go into than a quick reply.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YetiLanguste:
I want to update my Nexus 4 and sell it. It has the following modifications on it

-Root

-Custom Recovery

-Custom Kernel(Hells Core)

I tried updating it via OTA but it failed due to my modifications. Then I tried to Update with the NexusToolKit but I couldn't connect it to my 2 PCs.

I already tried many things like

-Different cable(including the original one)

-Every combination of Debugging MTP

-Different Ports

-Used the Google and xda universal drivers

-Tried the driver installation guide in the Nexus toolkit

-Formatting it

It seems like the Nexus' jack is broken but it starts charging the battery when connecting to PC

Is there any possibility I could update to Lollipop using other methods like Airdroid..??

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curomo:
So I got a Nexus Player the other day, but when I plugged it in, I get a blank screen although occasionally I'll see a flash of an image from the device for less than a second.

TV knows that there's a signal, it displays a PCM, 16:9 and 1080p logos when player is powered up, or No Signal when it's powered down

Player works fine when I plugged it into a monitor that I had in another room, and I've tried 3 different HDMI cables (primary cable being an Amazon High Speed HDMI). When I had it installed on the monitor I downloaded the 5.0 upgrade, but that didn't help.

Updated TV software too, no joy.

Called Google, they said call LG. Called LG, they said it's not them.

Google talked about escalating to someone higher than the help desk, but I suspect that's stalled at least until next week. They're also offering to replace the player now too, but I'm not hopeful and increasingly convinced that there's something basically incompatible between this TV (LG 65LB6300) and the Nexus Player. If I had to describe it, it looks like when you'd set your monitor to an invalid resolution / refersh rate back in the CRT days... you might get an image for a second, but then the screen goes blank.

Any thoughts on other options that I might try or should I abandon hope and ask for a refund?

Could be a wonky hdmi cable or connection. If you have other devices via hdmi and they're working, try swapping one of those known good cables and see if it fixes it.

I've tried 3 different cables and swapping with my blueray player (blue worked fine on both ports with any of the 3 cables.

Google's troubleshooting steps include:

Step 5: Try the Nexus Player on a different TV.

If the Nexus Player works with another TV, there may be a compatibility issue between the Nexus Player and the original TV. Contact the manufacturer for additional guidance.​

Feels like I've got that compatibility issues and neither party knows what's up.

I'm having the same issue with my LG 55EC9300. The Nexus Player won't display anything on the TV screen (which just remains black). I've tried all the troubleshooting steps available on the Google support pages, including factory resetting the Nexus Player, and nothing has worked.

The TV does seem to recognize that a Nexus Player is attached because it says "Nexus Player" in the TV's input menu when it's connected via HDMI.

Please let me know what you hear.

I just ordered a NP, I got a LG 50LB5900 will test it out when it arrives, luckily I have two options a smart bluray with HDMI in, I hope this doesn't span all new LG units. This needs to get escalated properly and hopefully google will contact LG if it is their issue. I'd call google and escalate it and use this thread as a reference.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curomo:
defconoi, I'll be anxious to hear your results. I tried pass-thru on my samsung stereo/dvd player. It picked up the audio just fine but the video still had the same problem. If I understand correctly, your LB5900 isn't SmartTV/WebOS, so hopefully you'll be unaffected.

Still doing email dialog with Google, if they can't offer something solid this week I may be asking for a refund on this thing.

I've tried the Nexus player on a couple other TVs in the house and can confirm it works fine on them, but only a blank screen on the LB6300. I've tried the same troubleshooting steps, but no luck. Very disappointing, this was the TV I wanted to run the Nexus on.

My Samsung smart Blu-ray player has a HDMI input that the nexus player works with, it also supports more audio codecs than my LG TV, for now I got it connected via that until my optical cables come in. As a fix for this issue you guys could probably use a HDMI converter box or adapter, im not quite sure which one would work, but I'd do some googling. The Nexus player is awesome, if it didnt work on my TV i'd find a cheap solution.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curomo:
I'm trying to think thru options here... what I'm looking for is to a device that can intercept the HDMI signal, decode it, and then re-encode it to HDMI again (HDMI is the only vialable input option on my TV)... Maybe 2 boxes, [hdmi -> composite] -> [composite -> hdmi]

Maybe I just need to figure out a way to access the composite input on my tv - it's obstructed by the mounting brackets.

Sympathies to you xgrey, but I'm glad to hear that more than one model is affected...

Nexus player wont play on lg web os 70lb6560-ta

I have the same problem with my LG 70LB6560-TA. The Nexus Player plays on all other (3) TV's I have except the 70LB6560-TA(WEB OS). This has exactly the same problem that toturi writes where the screen flashes on for a second then goes off for a minute. I have tried several new cables and all the HDMI ports on the TV with no success. I have called LG but I get all the usual noob "Please check" questions.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curomo:
Partial Success

Last Friday I picked up an HDMI->Composite adapter, I'm calling this a partial solution.

Good news it that it works, bad news is that I'm only getting 720p now rather than 1080. This is fine for things like Castle of Illusion, but I'm not sure I'm that excited for movies. (I've got to make the call this week on returning the whole thing and I'm really on the fence).

Also, WTF was LG thinking with the placement of the Power, Digital Audio, Ethernet, and Composite ports all positioned perpendicular to the screen and INSIDE THE FREAKING VESA MOUNTS??!?... Hacking thru the steel VESA mount to get at my Composite port wasn't real cool.

If anyone happens to see this thread before you've taken the plunge, I'd say skip the LG. Not sure if Samsung or Sony are better, but LG seems to be doing a lot a bone-headed things lately ...that reminds me that I need to write a rant about my LG refrigerator too.

Anyway, using the composite solution is one route that you may consider, but not a perfect solution. Hopefully Google can still out-smart whatever it is that LG did to break HDMI (can we get them de-certified for the right to label their TVs HDMI over this?!)

[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
Wow do you realize android 5 has been out officially for a week or two and pretty much every phone apart from nexus which uses the software directly from Google themselves who make android, still don't run it yet and expect to be running it in 2015.

Not even big teams that use the aosp code directly such as cyanogen or paranoid have got a stable fully functional rom out yet.

It takes time for the 3rd party developers to customize and test android for there devices once the official version gets released as they all use the final source code which only has been out 3-4 weeks.

Also no company apart from Google is much better, Samsung are still rolling out 4.4 to some of there devices with some like the s2 still on 4.2 and end of life presumably others will jump straight to lollipop from 4.3 etc.

Also on rooting what do you wish to achieve by doing so?

Rooting can be very dangerous if you don't know what your doing with devices like ours.

Take a look for example at all the posts in this forum asking to downgrade their l10's from emui 3 to 2 which they upgraded to custom versions etc without thinking and the issues they now have with boot loops and stuff.

If you want to run xposed you can find many people with similar things recently in this forum that can't get it to work.

Also rooting etc you lose the ability for any future updates via OTA and recovery and would need to manually update your device potentially bricking it every single time which bricking means you can no longer use your device and have to buy a new one.

Also are you capible on the PC with using it, command prompt Linux shell etc and doing things like installing Windows and other things.

If not then rooting is not for you.

Also do you know how to code in Linux C etc and know the workings of the Linux os, if not then there is no way you are going to make a custom rom. All you might be able to achieve is just repackaging someone else's ROM with minor edits and even then the tools to do that mainly use Linux to run as it's native windows doesn't have all the stuff Linux has natively in this regard.

well I do have Good Experience in linux and Command line , C Programming actually didnt go deep with it really ,

But i think I will stick to your opinion and wait ,and while I do so I will learn more about the whole subject ,and maybe increase my knowledge in this Field . (Android Programming - the C Programming - how things work in Android , ROMS , ETC)

but would you mind telling me from where to start ???

I'd strongly advise that you wait. My experience. You can root v4.4.2 VERY easily using vroot. Wait for lollipop, honestly. Is a nightmare recovering your position if you try to move now.

Hello,

I have a Asus zenfone 6 however my problem also occurs on the zenfone 5 phones.

The poblem is as follows,

After updating from stock to latest android (v1,18 at the time) the phones battery display became incorrect making the Phone unreliable at bestand nothing seems to help fixing the problem.

I have tried a million calibratnig apps with zero success as suspect the phones software doesnt actualy understand that it has a 3230 mah battery.

I have found and compared files with a working zenfone6 where the file displays 2070mah for me and 3230 for the working Phone.

I then tried to manualy change this file had no acces even with root but every reboot or unplug it just resets the file anyway as it gets its data elsewhere.

I have tried a factory reset but not everything was actualy reset it just deleted my data but roo and all othr crap that the update screwed up was still there.

I tried ADB sideload but that didnt work and udupdates as ota so will not factory reset and remove root anyway.

I contaced asus but they are as clueless as a goats rear and just say a future update will adress it...Which we al know isnt going

to happen as this has bin a issue for some users for over half a year and they didnt fix it.

So as a final attempt to fix this Phone im planning on unlocking the botloader which i really didnt want to do as im new to all that and just want a rooted stock rom...

So to my question.

If i unlock the bootloader i know the Phone will be wiped. Will i just be able to flash any version of the stock rom via ADB or is there other things i need to do to either the Phone or the rom?

I cant go screw up my Phone without knowing how to fix and flash it again directly.

And do apps like the one asus provide usualy also allow relocking of he bootloader again after flashing the rom as i dont want to leave it open if there is no need to?

Any other ideas are welcome aswell but i have bin trying to solve this for over a month.

Heres a screenshot of the error i get when i try to reflash current rom with ADB.

http://oi60.tinypic.com/2eefzuv.jpg

But as long as that doest a full clean rom install its not helping me anyway.

i really hope someone has a easy and quick way to do a fresh install that will really make the Phone like it was just out

of the box software wise. no root no changes or anything as factory reset is not doing that for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

Any ideas why my N9005 won't reboot after flashing lollipop (cm12, temasek's/others). Tried many times now and waited like 10 minutes.

I have done everything as told, but the phone just wont start, it is stuck in the (kernel is not seandroid enforcing/samsunggalaxynote3) screen.

I have flashed many different roms before, but never had this kind of problem. I have also formatted everything many times already. Tried installing with TWRP and CWM.

The odd thing is that Philz recovery acted the same way, not booting into the recovery tho (I have used philz rc before).

Could this be something to do with my bootloader? :confused:
