[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavril:
Defy+ best stable CWM and CMs

Hi,

First post so it ends up here. I have been following the Defy user guide and have found that a lot of links are broken and when trying to locate files there is a lot of misleading info on this process.

I'm new to rooting Androids but I'm capable of following procedures as long as they don't involve too many acronyms or poorly explained sections.

I have a rooted phone via framaroot and 2ndinit installed.

I don't quite get what to do next with Clockwork Mod or TWRP? Also, there are references to recovery installations but the links seem to head to an error page. I'm in Australia if that makes any difference to the recovery file. My MB526 is currently at 2.3.6.

*** edit OK so I learned that the 2ndinit has CWM5.0? in it and I followed a guide to install Cyanogen 10.2 and Gapps which wouldn't install via the CWM recovery. So I go around again and am looking for CM10 which is referred to in another guide (then step up to 10.2) Surely there is a better way to complete this? From here there is another step to CM11... I'll get back to it in the morning...

Once I install the CWM(x) I then install a custom ROM? CM(x) which one is recommended as stable? I'm not looking to rewrite history with this thing, I'm just looking to share the SD card with the OS and strip out all of the bloatware so that my kid can call me on this thing with skype and sync a gmail calendar account. Pretty simple, but don't want it getting bogged down.

I thank you guys in advance for your helpful responses and look forward to getting this old beast humming again!

Mav

****edit I managed to get the latest nightly cm11 into my device after reading many threads with instructions buried down in the comments. Unfortunately my phone runs slowly, way slower than stock. Is this normal for the builds due to the increased resource requirements from kk? Is it a stability issue, if so what is the latest stable build? Is anyone active through this place anymore or is it a parking zone for old phones?

Bricked defy, white LED

I'm in a sticky situation with my moto defy, tried to install cyanogenmod (done this several times) but as i was installing the rom, the phone restarted and started directly on bootloader. I tried to get it to come back to recovery (no use), and went back to trying to install an SBF file, here's where i screwed up badly, almost all sbf files for the defy are in shutdowned servers, so i couldn't download my original carrier file (personal argentina), and tried one that i found on another page, and after installing that file, i got a black screen with the LED turning white when i plug it into de pc, and it being recognized by RSD lite. after that i tried several files, all giving the same result, or showing the bootloader screen with a 4 byte error written in 2hex,2hex,2hex,2hex form.

4.5.1-134-DFP-132 - retail-en-de full Blur

Any chance to get 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 - retail-en-de full Blur ? The link to the thread doesen't work, I found some mirrors to many defy+ stock roms, but apparently I can't find this one.

This is the rom that officially comes with my phone.. so I will like to have it stored on my hard drive in case i make some mistakes while flashing - playing with roms..

Also.. right now I'm using nightly cyanogen 7.2 jordan plus rom, and it works very well.. But I would also like to try a stock rom without blur motorola services and without google apps.. any suggestion will be appreciated

Thanks

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wulfegang:
I ordered my OPO a couple of weeks ago and just received it earlier this week. My main problem is my signal strength. It regularly goes from LTE to 3G to no signal throughout the day. I came from an HTC One M7 and always had 3-4 bars on LTE with no problems. i also have AT&T's home phone service and it remains at full bars all the time. I have unlocked/rooted it along with trying different roms but I still have poor to no signal most of the time. Another thing that concerns me is the recent announcement of Cyanogen breaking off from OPO. I've searched for possible fixes for the signal issue but could not find anything that fixed the issue. Maybe I was just sent a defective device. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Unlocking and rooting, then installing custom ROMs will have no effect on signal strength. The only thing you can try on your end is to flash one of the older modems (thread in General Section) to see if that helps.

You may want to RMA the device if that doesn't help. But don't let the Cyanogen/OPO issue influence your decision. IMHO, that's not a good reason to abandon your device.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wulfegang:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will try one of the older modems and see if that helps any. If I can't find a modem that works than I will RMA. I don't think I would abandon it just for the Cyanogen thing but I was still a little concerned about it. I just wasn't sure if that would affect the future of the device (such as OTA updates and Lollipop development). I am paranoid about silly things and just want to cover all of my bases lol.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] superseagulls:
I don't think it's a case of the store unlocking the handset with an xda-developers type unlocker, I believe there comment of unlocking refers to T-mobiles fairly liberal unlock policy.... ie they will send the unlock code to the store so they can make it an 'official' sim free handset...............
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] GuestX01066:
Yes, in Germany they'll send the code by mail. But I'm waiting since one week for the payed code, but it isn't comming (they don't have the database)...

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cedie:
please help i cant install apps any more because it says "insufficient storage available"

i used apps 2 rom which transfers data to rom and after a month i deleted some apps and i free up my internal storage up to 2.2 gb

and after that i removed my apps from rom and they took a little space to my internal storage, still i have 2.1 gb free but it cannot download apps

My rom free: 316.6 mb

My internal storage free: 2.1 gb

But still cannot download an app

I have it Rooted. i know advanced in android

i dont have a memory card
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greaper88:
Some apps look for percentage available instead of MB available or some nonsense.

Could also be that it needs to install some secured data, and that's going into a place you don't have enough space.

Also, if you had an app installed on external memory at some point, and you try to reinstall it, you'll get that error. Check your Application Manager for any apps that have the memory card icon on them. Those can cause problems.

Personally, I use Link2SD Plus, which requires an SD card. This allows you to move whole applications to a second partition of the SD card. Works well with the tab 3, and leaves me with lots of free space.

I'm assuming when you say ROM space free, you mean System partition space free? I only have about 9MB free on mine and it causes no problems.

Have had this issue on my phone before because the ROM itself locked the device as read-only, causing any app to give that error, and had to flash it again.

I had a bunch of unknown junk cluttering my user/data partition (they're the same physical area on the device), and had to wipe the "internal storage" and "data" from a custom recovery after backing up my data I cared about.

Hopefully this is informative, and hopefully someone else can be more helpful :)

Good luck to you

i dont know what it says but i think it means read-only memory, and my tablet has no recovery mode it only shows "downloading mode"
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymm:
I don't know if this is a permanent solution but I noticed that I had no "OBB" file in "Android " on my "extsdcard". I created said file and moved all files from "OBB", "sdcard0" to new OBB file. I then started a program who's file I moved to new OBB and immediately closed. Then went back to original OBB to delete newly created file (double) for that app. Now all my apps download straight to extsdcard in the new OBB file. I can also move apps to SD card from app manager .

Let me know if it worked for you.

You should go to your WiFi settings and set the WiFi on «never sleep». By default EMUI 3.0 switch it off as soon as the screen is off.

Seems there is a conflict between data plan and Wi-Fi when both are enabled...

Hi guys, much thanks for your help.

I had the unofficial CM11 nightly installed on my GTab 3 8.0 but it got corrupted. I used PhilZ Touch to wipe the storage but I can't find a guide to help me re-install CM on this device.

I tried to use Odin to install CM11, but it won't take .zip files. I converted the file to .tar so I could try and flash it, but Odin immediately crashed.

Please help me fix this device.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodahottie:
To add - There is no ROM installed on this device. It has only the philz touch recovery installed.

I can't turn the tablet off - The device just constantly displays the battery icon. When I try to turn it on, it boots and endlessly displays the galaxy tab 3 boot splash screen.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lloydsw:
I'm not familiar with philz, I'm using TWRP, but I used TWRP to install CM11. I'm assuming philz is similar.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodahottie:
Yes lloydsw, PhilZ is ClockWorkMod based. PhilZ has similar functionality to TWRP.

My problem is that I don't know how to get the ROM zip file onto the tablet. If I can get it on the tablet, I'll have no trouble installing with PhilZ.

I tried to adb a little bit, but I keep getting Access is denied errors. For some reason, I have been getting these errors recently whenever the Console is involved, even if I launch it with admin rights. I think Microsoft changed Console functionality with a recent update. So, I didn't try too hard.

So, how do I get this rom file into the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
Put the zip on an external sdcard and use that.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodahottie:
Hi gr8nole,

I don't think I have an microSD. I have an old SD card but I don't think the Tab 3 will take that.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodahottie:
Is there some kind of GUI tool, like the nexus root toolkit that let me flash .zip files on this thing? I don't why odin doesn't take the most common kind of compressed file. I'm kind of stuck here.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
You have a couple options.

Download the full firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with odin. Then re-flash custom recovery.

Or, continue trying to get the rom zip onto your device. Either get a micro sdcard or get adb to work.

If you get adb working, remember you have to mount the data partition before you can send anything to the internal sdcard (internal sdcard is simply a link to /data/media).
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodahottie:
Hey everybody.

I searched my house for microSD cards, and I found one in an old dumb phone. And I recovered some pictures and info that I thought was lost. I found sd card adapters in another box. I put them together and installed the rom easily.

My tablet is working fine, thanks to everyone. Not only is my device working again, I found my lost data. yes!

gr8nole, special thanks to you. Have a great day!

First of this is in the wrong forum but before they move your thread let me answer your question.

You don't edit them anymore. You need to go to mobile networks- network preferences and hit the three dot menu button. Click add and then operator list. You then add the carrier you want from the list. Then reboot and the apn for your new carrier will be there. They made it so all apns are loaded and known by the phone. You just have to select the right operator. They don't want people manually editing apns when you shouldn't have to in the first place.
