First off i apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this, i couldnt find a Q&A thread for windows, also ive spent hours on Google looking and couldn't find anything that worked, but anyway my aunt a few days ago hit her computer( shes the kind of person where if it doesn't work just hit it) and it black screended on startup, like you press the power button and nothing, its a lenovo (i dont know what model) but i booted it into recovery, did a BIOS recovery, but it didnt finish, so i checked to see if the computer was reading the hard drive and it is, im taking my Toshiba to swap the hard drive to see if thats the problem, she wants to keep all her data but i said that may not be a possibility, i just want to know if anyone here can tell me what might be the problem, im convinced its thr hard drive as the toshiba had a similiar fate a few months ago. So any help would be great, also again if this is the wrong thread im sorry

EDIT: I don't know if its Windows 7 or 8, also its current state is it stops at the lenovo boot screen
[Windows 8 General] Tonian1878:
Try windows start up repair. easiest way to do this, get the windows installation disc and boot into that and select start up repair.

id guess a HDD failure or more likely a corruption with windows if it wasnt shut down properly

could also try a fresh install of windows, just dont format the harddrive during installation. this way windows installation should save all the old data into a (old windows) folder on the c drive
[Windows 8 General] SmokeyTech1:
Thanks, the recovery just hangs, according to my aunt the computer was freaking out and started closinf things, and then nothing, i think the hard drive crashed, i told them to get a new hard drive ( i actually recommended an SSD)
[Windows 8 General] SOADNICK:
Before buying a new drive, put her hdd on your pc to see if it is still healthy, bad-sector-free. You check this with hdsentinel.

Also, try to boot her laptop with a hdd/ssd that is working properly.
[Windows 8 General] SmokeyTech1:
I tried looking for a hard drive adapter, i didnt want to put the hdd into my computer as i read it could crash it as the drivers are for a different computer, but if it works without harm ill do it, also finding an adapter here isnt easy, as i live in mexico and BestBuy is 2 hours away
[Windows 8 General] SOADNICK:
Hm, I don't think that plugging the hdd will crash your computer, but still, it's just a crash, unplug-restart and it's gone.

However, since I haven't been in a similar situation, you can try to plug it in a computer that runs any OS but windows, e.g. a linux pc, since win drivers won't affect a different OS.

Yet, I think it's obvious that if you plug it in your pc, you won't select it as a boot drive.

I don't know whether the flashable zips posted are aroma flashable zip or not. So I share my Aroma config files, which, if interested, you may include in META-INF for your flashable zip.

If you know updater-script coding, then coding aroma-config is no big deal.

And I personally like Aroma Installer a lot. It gives a new experience of zip installation in recovery.

You can try my debloater to taste Aroma Installer in case you haven't (just de-select all files and zip does nothing to your system).

I was just browsing eBay when this apparently "haunted box" auction came up. Is that person selling it for real??

Link: http://m.ebay.com/itm/331405360883?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE

This is the description: " This auction is for what I believe to be a haunted dibbuk box. I originally purchased it at a garage sale, where an old Ukrainian woman stared at me for an agonizingly long time. Ever since I brought it home, strange things have been happening around the house. At first the box seemed to have no apparent way of being opened...just some weird symbols on the bottom. I figured out how to open it after a few hours, and found two creepy objects inside...a banana and a lollipop. I beg of you not to buy this box, because it is clearly cursed, but if you buy this box, the winner of the auction will receive the box (shipped inside of a larger box) and a page with the history of the item, written in blood (or maybe just ink). There are no refunds on this item because I can't have that horror show going on in my home anymore. Happy bidding!"

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThC23:
Hello, so I bought a used Tab 2 without the original charger and now after a month it's hard to charge.

I've followed some steps online, but I have to do it every single time and I'm tired of doing it.

So my question is this.

For those that have had this problem, did you change your battery?

Did it solve the problem?

I'm looking at batteries on eBay and are cheaper than getting a new tablet. But not sure if it would solve my problem since I still don't have an original charger.

It gives me that battery icon with an X when I tried to charge.

I did get a so called original charger from eBay with no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
I'd definitely suggest getting an original charger. Which version do you have? I have the WiFi only one 3113

On so called original chargers or even parts for the most part stay away from eBay, it's not worth the hassle

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maitai_Banana:
Hey guys, I'm kinda new to the Forum and figured I'll just post my question here.

I'm running a nightly of AICP 7.0 on my Nexus 5. I previously ran Lollipop but discovered that it drained a lot more battery than KK so I switched back. Now I want to try the Cataclysm Lollipop ROM, but I don't want to install all my apps again or wipe my current ROM. Is it possible to just sideload the Cataclysm ROM over my existing AICP ROM via TWRP Sideload function? If not, you guys have any clue how to do this? The main reason I want to sideload and/or install without losing my apps is because I want the Google Cards and Google Now to work for me which it doesn't in Lollipop. I previously ran KK and sideloaded the Lollipop image and that left me with all my apps and Google Now as it is and everything was good (expect for the battery drain and camera FC on Lollipop)

Any help on this would be much appreciated

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
sideloading in twrp means to put the file on your phone via adb. what you want to do is dirty flash. first, make a nandroid backup in your recovery(in case dirty flashing doesnt go well, then you can restore your old rom). then download and flash the other rom in your recovery(su and gapps also). by dirty flashing, you dont lose data. if your dirty flash didnt go well, you can restore your nandroid backup.

Got mine delivered today from mobilefun.co.uk the going rate is 199 and the delivery got muddled up with the click and collect service. Still i had that refunded, and they were apologetic so overall I'm happy. I have seen the same price starting to appear on other sites too.

I bought mine off amazon and have had no problems and was quite a good price
[LG G Watch R] chrisnewton:

Are there any difficulties in buying this watch from France? Will the packaging, adapters and system updates differ to that in the UK?

Thanks,

I went to Handtec.co.uk used them before for phones, paid 4.99 next day DPD, they cost around £10 more than cheapest 199 deals but their service is top notch. Got mine a few days ago and all I can say is you will love it.

Always on mode, I don't see the burn in some mention in other threads...

I tend to use black background faces, with bright marks & hands.

Watch looks amazing,

strap is crap, ordered a replacement from Ebay, make sure if you get a new strap it's 22mm wide & 3.0mm - 3.5mm thick at the watch head.

have tried running the "Motofail2Go" app but the CMD command always gets stuck at the first step itself .

have also tried unsuccessfully to unlock the bootloader from motorola website (unlocking not possible for your device prompt)

would appreciate if some one can guide me to the right direction .

Hi,

With a locked bootloader, This may be the only chance to Root...

> Motorola Droid RAZR M > Droid RAZR M General > towelroot for Razr M 4.4.2 - Success!

This root will undo any changes in a reboot tho.... So it's only really useful for certain root apps. You can ask more about it after reading a bit if you wish. Or ask about alternatives there too.

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] gaganbakshi:
thanks

thanks for the info , i was able to root the razr m with your advice and direction , just one more question will i be able to now flash CWM and Custom ROMS . not sure rooting the phone through towelroot will allow for that (though i have gained Super user access to install apps )
[XDA Assist] Darth:
No, you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom recovery. And to disable write protection to allow full root.

Intorduction

MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Galaxy S4. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch, once they are ported to that device. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from external SD card. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the image above. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.

DISCLAIMER

: You take responsibility of your phone and what you flash into it, not me. You are warned!

Features:

* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs

* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM

* Boot from Internal memory and MicroSD Card

And since i don't feel like ripping this stuff from AntaresOne's thread, go read it here (i'm lazy): http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/mod-multirom-v28-t2864469

This is basically the same, i've done some small modifications and development to get it working on I9295.

Installation

1. Via MultiROM Manager app NOT tested on I9295, propably won't work. Don't try! (But if you do, report :) )

2. Manual installation

Firstly, there are videos on youtube. If you want, just search for "MultiROM installation" on youtube and watch those, big thanks to all who made them. There is also an awesome article on Linux Journal.

Note 1: Your device must not be encrypted (hint: if you don't know what it is, then it is not encrypted).

MultiROM has 3 parts you need to install:

MultiROM - download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery.

Modified recovery - download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery or Mobile Odin app to flash the recovery.img contained inside ZIP.

Patched kernel - Download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery or keep stock kernel (CM11/based ROMs with this android_kernel_samsung_jf source)

You current rom will not be erased by the installation.

Download links are in the second post.

TWRP

MultiROM TWRP can work without MultiROM installed. Obviously most MultiROM related features won't work so steer away from them.

When formatting partitions, especially /data, do keep backups handly, even from /sdcard. As /data and /sdcard are on same partition, formatting /data formats /sdcard. Note that factory reset doesn't actually format /data, it just wipes the directory clean. But when changing fs type on /data, /sdcard will be formatted also.

#GoodWork!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] spegelius:
Yes, this is quite nifty, i have CM12, CM11 and AOSP installed currently and latter two are running from my external sdcard (exfat). Granted, they are somewhat slower but for now those installations are only for testing. I ordered a miniusb to female usb adater so i can even install roms to usb stick :P. Not very handy in everyday use, but helps when you want to just test something...

Personally i use this modified TWRP quite lot now that it has f2fs and exfat support.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] ZeroZorro:
First attempt didn't work out for me....

Currently running WizCyan 4.4.2 ROM

When entering recovering mode and trying to install multirom-20141203-v30-UNOFFICIAL-jactivelte.zip from SD-card i end up with an error 7, no harm done...

Already made a nandroid backup of this rom so i think i'm gonna install patched recovery-image with Odin and after that multirom.zip through recovery.

That way i will be able to restore the Nandroid from the MultiROM menu, right?

[MENTION=3876105]spegelius[/MENTION] you say you have CM12 as primary ROM. I presume it's NOT the Dual? And it doesn't have to be patched before installing?
