[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Most reference only GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG because they are the partition table, bootloader, trusted zone, etc. Those two fail with an error that stops RSDlite, and those two error when trying to flash older versions via mFastboot. After getting those errors, that is usually when people start posting their phone is bricked and asking for help.

I've seen some downgrade everything but those two (meaning, yes they did even flash boot.img) using mfastboot (latest being from the 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 dev edition roms). But again, if you get forgetful and take an OTA, or sell it to someone in that state, you could cause a brick later.

You could be able to downgrade parts without bricking, we've seen that happen... In addition, like when people on 4.4.2 downgraded this way to 4.4, we saw features not work (I mentioned the security menu earlier) if they managed to not brick.

In some cases, when in the bricked or non-booting state from attempting to downgrade, flashing the full SBF of the newest version (4.4.4) manually via mFastboot with a few extra commands was enough to recover the phone and get it working. (at least check the phone's bootloader version and flash the SBF for that bootloader or a higher/newer SBF version). On some occasions they've bricked bad enough that they've needed to follow -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057 and other times nothing worked and their phone was dead.

That being said, the many many threads asking for help due to phones not booting, being bricked, etc from attempting to downgrade are why we caution people to not downgrade and why you wont get much help doing it. Its not 100% safe or fool proof. If it goes wrong you could have a lot of work on your hands or a non-usable phone. Just because it has worked for you, doesn't mean it works and others can/should try it. We've seen too many times how people have bricked. For example a while ago there was someone claiming its possible to downgrade the XT1052 without issues, it was 100% safe, he did it without failure so it must be safe. Then XT1052 people who tried it started creating threads that their phone was bricked from following his steps asking for help. The thread was closed/locked.

But its your phone, do what you want. If you advise others to downgrade, or claim its safe to downgrade, make sure you include a clear warning that there are risks!!
[Moto X Q&A] adm1jtg:
You do realize the ONLY change between 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is the security fix for ssl right. It was less then 16 meg for the update so your issues are NOT related to 4.4.3 vs 44.4 I would look elsewhere for the cause of your issues before you completely brick your phone
[Moto X Q&A] govardhan87:
:) dear adm1jtg... Am not a developer in android or even a software guy. I will be unable to see these things or verify that its only security update and will not affect kernel of the os- although they said wat u said..

That's y I posted here. Thanks for replying.

Would be happy if u tell if kernel is same in 4.4.3 And 4.4.4. ( if u know)
[Moto X Q&A] adm1jtg:
Kernel is not identical but close as far as i know as the security fix was kernel based. Ok that said instead of trying to change your stock rom i would try a custom kenrel. Which one you ask.... I am currently using zwliew. There is a thread for it in the dev area. You could also try a custom stock based rom like krypton or epsilon (also have threads in dev section).

Downgrading really shoudnt EVER be considered for any reason as you have a very good chance or permanently bricking your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Agree with many here...

Even tho some say they've downgraded OK... Let's see how the next ota works out for them. Oops!

So .... Here's my 2 cents on downgrading........ DON'T !

Is there a ROM for the HTC Desire X that will allow me to install and use Link2SD on my Ext4 partition, or something similar? Thank you.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nameite:
Hey guys,

I got a China Telecom M8, and just unlocked bootloader and rooted.

After I applied the kitkat SD card write protect patch, no other changes to system sticks after reboot.

I tried editing host file, also editing build.prop, default.prop....delete bloatware etc etc

But after reboot everything looks exactly the same to what it was.

I found some threads saying that it write protect due to stock kernel from JB, so Kitkat should have it too

Applying the Easy InitD patch would disable it (for the One S)

Anyone knows if this will work for M8?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
I dont understand

Some people say apps use it

But i dont agree

But if so then

Whats is the cache files in /data/data/*/cache ?

For

And why does apps like galleries

Make files in our internal memory aka /sdcard

But not in /cache ?

I dont get it

Any help clarifying it for me would be nice
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di11igaf:
Some apps do use it, as a less permanent cache than cache in /data partition. Specifically I know some of googles apps use it, thumbnails, market downloads, previews etc. /cache partition is basically data that won't affect the app at all if flushed. Cache in /data partition is more per app specific files that theoretically could stay until reset or app is deleted. At least that's my understanding.

Its also used for other non app stuff like logs, filesystem lost and found etc
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mammothjojo88:
Hello all,

I have researched this issue and have received various answers to this issue, so I thought I would start a thread discussing specifically this topic.

When playing music on my M8, I notice no matter what Rom I am on, I notice the music that is playing slows down when the screen is off.

As if the cpu is clocking in low (my guess is 300) and is slowing playback.

I have found questionable solutions:

1. Wipe data from the music app

2. Firmware update

3. HK adsp firmware.

My device is s-off

Running beyond stock Rom

With the latest Adsp firmware flashed.

Can anyone give me some insight to why or what can I do about this?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] smokeythebear3:
i've had this issue too, but i've only tried viper rom. I didn't realize it was an issue with other roms as well. is it a problem with all music players? I've only seen this happen with the google play music app.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sinistertensai:
Your streaming quality is probably set to low, which can cause this kind of issue. You can change it in the settings menu of play music.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sinistertensai:
Screenshot of what I'm talking about.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] smokeythebear3:
I had the music I was playing downloaded on my device. When the screen was off, my music started skipping.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bachatu:
I was out of town a few weeks ago and this same issue began to happen. It drove me crazy that I couldn't take a walk without having the music sound like it was robot running on fumes. I did a full wipe, re-download and reflashed the Viper ROM I'm using, firmware, played with kernel and screen frequency settings, etc... Nothing I did seemed to work. Until, all of a sudden it dawned on me that it's most likely not a hardware issue and something had to be running when the screen is off causing the music to sound like that. I turned the music channel setting to "Off" and that did the trick for me. The visualizations require a bit of power and the slower cpu/gpu clock speeds when the screen is off sem to d to play a role. Hopefully this is the solution for those of you having the same problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sinistertensai:
Downloaded as in cached or Downloaded as in mp3 on device? I'm guessing cached, if a low quality cached file is cached, I know of no way it'll magically become higher quality...

There may be something to the music channel, but it's unlikely that would effect playback of the file. Mc just gathers info and lyrics and has a visualizer.

I'm guessing you didn't bother to check in your play music settings to see your quality settings, and instead just ignored my suggestion, cause you know what your doing. So once ya figure it out, share with the rest of the class thanks. Meanwhile I don't have the issue and am gonna go back to stream with no lag.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] clavin78:
Are you all using a Harmon Kardon?

I have the HK version and have this issue on custom Roms too. My understanding is that its due to having the HK firmware but not the proper sound libs which match it in the ROM, since the roms are based on the standard M8.

Had trouble on:

viper rom

Gpe ROM.

No issue on Bad Boyz rom based on HK.

If you have an hk model and have this issue on viper and perhaps other sense 4.4.4 roms not HK based, they have a mod to flash the libs and firmware, just skip firmware when Aroma asks, since you already have HK firmware

My trouble cleared after flashing it.

Sprint HK

S-on
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] smokeythebear3:
I'm not currently on viper ROM right now as I installed the gpe lollipop version. I did actually follow your instructions, but I didn't have a control since I've changed roms. And yes I meant cached instead of download. You don't have to be a **** dude, i just gave my experience of having the same issue.

I don't understand why playing a cached version of a song would play slower when the screen is off compared to when the screen is on. Im still have the issue with gpe. My guess is something with some Roms trying to conserve more power when the screen is off.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

Here are the results of another test I ran. I played an mp3 file on my phone using Apollo and play music. When playing the same song in Apollo with the screen on and off, the music played perfectly fine. When the same mp3 played in play music, the audio slowed when the screen was off.

Could somebody confirm that this doesn't happen in other music players?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mammothjojo88:
hmm sounds like a cpu is slowing down or something when the screen is off. do you have a custom kernel attached to your rom?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
I had the same diagnosis of slow music but due to certain xposed modules that was controlling alarms and wakelocks, try disabling xposed framework to identify if its interfering with any custom ROM framework modification
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] kneeblock:
I am not using a custom ROM just a stock version of Lollipop and am having this same issue on my LG G3. In my case, it's downloaded files on my device as well as cached playback.

The screen being off definitely seems to be a trigger.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ryanguy426:
I've just started experiencing this with Google Play Music on 6.0 GPE. Did anybody ever find a fix?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] climbr86:
6.0 GPE music slowdown

I had this exact thing happen on older ROMs as well as the 6.0 GPE. In the past, I flashed a custom kernel and turned on "high quality audio" using Trickster Mod. Although, I've been running 6.0 GPE un-rooted for a while so that's not an option.

Not sure if it is a permanent fix yet, but I turned on the equalizer under the settings menu and I haven't had the slow audio problem for a few songs now.

Hello Guys !

I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9515 VE (Black Edition) .. I recently rooted my device ... But I want to unroot it and change the device status to OFFICIAL ... My question is .. If I flash a official rom to my device will it change the device status from CUSTOM to OFFICIAL ??

Faisal
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. You will come back to "OFFICIAL" if you didn't flash any CUSTOM RECOVERY.

2. You will have to install Triangle Away if you flash a CUSTOM RECOVERY for reflash your binary counter (anyway I don't know if your device is supported).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisalblink:
Thanks Joku1981 !!

Luckily my device was still on stock recovery ... I reinitialized the firmware through kies and my device is back to OFFICIAL status ..

Faisal
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisalblink:
Well if you are flashing a official rom with official recovery .. then there will be no issues ... you need to have proper rom of your model ..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pisanoid:
Before doing anything else you should go into download mode to see if yours is an International S4 or an AT&T one!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kushan02:
or else u can just flash the official rom downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/

extract the rar of the downloaded stock recovery and you will get a tar.md5 file

now flash it via odin in download mode.

and now you have a official status.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] synthetik:
Relatively quiet member here, flame away if you like but I was not able to find the answer by searching the forum.

I’m running ROM 2.06.502.3 and have been having some problems with the radio. I’m using the radio ROM that was bundled with it (1.34.00.10) but nearly every day I have a number of problems occur. The OS is stable and no crashes or bugs that I have noticed but periodically the phone (8525) will stop receiving calls but still show full connectivity. I can make outgoing calls fine but incoming ring to voicemail. When I send texts I get no indication that they failed or no connectivity is present but once I realize my phone is having this problem I soft reset and all the texts go out at once and all the ones Ive been missing come in. Additionally several times when I have dialed out, finished calling and the phone will not hang up. The unit does not freeze - all OS functionally still present - but I can not end the call and the call timer keeps going until I soft reset even if other party disconnects.

Is this a problems with the rom, my hardware, or the combination of ROM and radio version? Any other radio version that is more stable with this ROM? Thank you in advance to everyone here. Even though I don’t post much I read quite a bit and appreciate what everyone contributing to the community does for all of us.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] synthetik:
Anyone? I think Im going to flash with the .35 radio , although I would assume the .34 was included with the ROM because it was most stable with it. Please correct me if Im wrong. Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arktronic:
I've had similar things happen a while ago with my old Typhoon; it was some kind of issue with Cingular. Can you go to some other area (that uses a different tower for sure) and verify that this still happens? Or maybe just hard-reset and don't install anything for a while. I just don't think the 1.34 radio was reported to be this bad.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
I had a similar issue with the 1.27 radio (can't end calls). I haven't seen this since I went to the 1.35 radio. The fact that you get them with the 1.34 radio is surprising to me however b/c I was under the impression that there were very few differences between the two.

Not 100% sure as I'm on 5.0 and don't have xposed to try at the moment (Yes I know Xposed for 5.0 has been released, i just haven't had the chance to sit down and do it yet). It does say reboot to recovery when the 4way reboot menu is enabled thru wannam n i'm almost positive it works with safestrap. I haven't used it in forever because with safestrap even a normal reboot is fine with me since the safestrap splash screen pops up in the beginning anyways.
