how to hard reset XDA Zinc?

please help me
[General Topics] joparp:
Q1: How do I perform a hard reset?

Answer:

To perform a hard reset, use the stylus to reach the reset button found besides the device's camera button. Keep the stylus on the reset button and press the Up Navigation button at the same time.

*Note: Hard resetting the device will cause the device to be reset back to its original default settings and all data will be lost.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frost32:
I have a kindle fire hd 7 running 7.5.1 and am unable to root it. I've tried multiple methods and each time during the process, it says "...access denied" during some of the steps, but always finishes "successfully." Adb detects it and some commands bring back "access denied" or "ui connection timeout." Am I doing something wrong, or missing something?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkan9el:
Hi all, bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Live Demo Unit. It came from John Lewis and is in mint condition. It originally had the Model number SM-T700x but after using Odin 3.09 and flashing a stock Rom: T700XXU1ANF9_T700BTU1ANG1_BTU (Uk version) it now shows SM-T700. I'm not sure its completely replaced the firmware although it flashed successfully and most things appear to function as they should. A few things make me think something isn't quite right though and these are:

The Samsung Startup screen shows "Live Demo Unit"

Under Settings > General > Backup and reset > Personal Data: Factory reset is greyed out.

I can't pull down from the top of the screen, if I'm in say My Files it obscures the top information bar but if I place my finger at the top of the screen and swipe down the slim black bar appears, swiping up removes it. I'm not sure if this is what its supposed to do. but I have a Samsung Note and when I swipe down from the top I get a information page and so assume it would behave very similar.

I cannot uninstall some of the bloatware apps and games that samsung have probably installed, I think they call them Galaxy Gifts.

I can install apps and uninstall the apps I have installed

I haven't rooted it yet and am a little unsure which root to use, so a bit of advice for that and any other help would be great.

TIA
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkan9el:
Did a bit of reading and went with the CF Auto Root to root device.

Could I now flash something like CM11, would be interesting to see if it would fix some of the possible issues I think I have?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkan9el:
Had a bit of time to get back on this problem. thought I would document what I did to fix this, kind of an idiots guide and for future reference.

So having installed CF Auto Root with Odin 3.09...

installed TWRP via Google Play

Once installed I opened TWRP.

I clicked on Install TWRP

Tapped Device name and scrolled through the list until I found Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Klimwifi (Mine is Wifi Only) - its easiest to just scroll right to the bottom of the list and count up about 15 or 16 or approx middle of the screen.

I then Tapped on Install Recovery - Once all that was done I turned the SGT S off.

Pressed and held: Home, plus Volume Up and finally the Power button, waited until I saw the TWRP screen and released the buttons

Once TWRP recovery was up I tapped on Wipe and at the bottom of the next screen I swiped to factory reset.

Once that was done I went back to the main screen in TWRP recovery and tapped the reboot button, then tapped System

The SGT S started up and I could now set it up correctly, I can now swipe down to bring the top menu into view, I can get the side menu up and factory reset is no longer greyed out.

Only niggle I have now is the first screen that pops up saying Demo Unit, if anyone knows how to get rid of that please let me know.

Galaxy tools

You could try using galaxy tools to change the code of the tab. I know i have a note 3 and when the code reads SPR it defines the phone as a sprint phone so everytime I boot up I get the sprint intro rather than the default samsung boot. XAS normally is the international code.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkan9el:
Thanks for the input, do you mean Galaxy Toolbox? if so the SGT S isn't supported, if you mean another App can I have a link to take a look?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koanaihe:
It's called galaxytools and its universal for all samsung galaxy phones/tablets. Just make sure you back everything up and once you install the app open it and look at the online manual and it will tell you what options does what

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] electrified:
Seeing that there are a lot of posts in L topics that mention the same problem, and only 'pollute' topics with useless stuff I thought about making this thread.

This is UNOFFICIAL and I just want to make it 'easier' to fix problems some users are reporting, well least try to put all 'useful' tips into one topic.

All I'm expecting is:

-Post your model i919(0/2/5/7)

-Baseband version (don't forget region)

-kernel

-Lollipop ROM you are using

-list issues you have

-list any fix that has not been posted in this thread before that might help fix some common problems (for example losing audio in call)

-any additional stuff that might be relevant

For lurkers: If a fix helped you, hit thanks, if not - post your solution or wait until a fix

I'm going to start:

-i9195

-I9195XXUCNJ6, europe

-3.4.0-aosp-gdae987b (included in CM12)

-cm-12-20141211-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip

-in call my mic stops working (but mostly with pre3 kernel, going to see if it works better with kernel included in cm12)

-did full wipe today, installed clean cm-12-20141208 and upgraded a few hours later to cm-12-20141211

Wrong post. nevermind.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Mitko:
WiFi has lately started going to sleep when the phone is being left idle for 20-30 mins even though I have set it to always stay on. This issue made me get away from CM11 and it's very frustrating to encounter it now here as well. The issue came along with the build before the 11-12-2014 one.

I'm trying to unlock it from Sprint so I can go activate it on a different carrier. Could someone please point me towards the right guide, idk what flashing rooting or any of that **** means so I'm not really sure what to do. Also if anyone could let me know of any limitations in terms of which carriers it just plain won't work with that would be greatly appreciated so I don't waste a bunch more time. Thanks a bunch. Kind of on a time schedule to do all this so any quick replies, would just be great.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
He is asking about flashing the phone to another network, not about unlocking the bootloader (although it's worth reading for general knowledge). Unlocking the bootloader will be the first of many steps to flash the phone to another carrier.

OP, there are a few guides about flashing your phone to other carriers in the General section.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woodboy12:
Woops I guess I miss understood the question. Sorry

OTG Support - Moto E

OTG support was available for version 4.4.2 and after upgrading to 4.4.4 it stopped working. Now we get only 4.4.4 version pre-installed. Is there a way to downgrade to version 4.4.2?
[Moto E Accessories] panart:
Moto E does not support OTG, it never did, it's both hardware and software limitation.
[Moto E Accessories] Dinesh Merrill:
Is there a way to downgrade to version 4.4.2?

Is there a way to downgrade to version 4.4.2?
[Moto E Accessories] lokesh.3440:
Yes flash 4.4.2 stock firmware without flashing gpt.bin file.
[Moto E Accessories] KabirUnreal:
Yes, you can unlock Qualcomm settings.

Step 1 - install a custom android launcher, such as nova or apex.

Step 2 - long press on the home screen and popup appears, and click on add shortcuts. Shortcuts>activities>com.Qualcomm.settings>Qualcomm settings.

Whenever you connect your otg go to Qualcomm settings and click on enable otg or otg mode peripheral, and also switch on mass storage mode.
[Moto E Accessories] -Adarsh-:
so is it working for u to have otg on moto e on lollipop?
[Moto E Accessories] KabirUnreal:
Doesn't work in lollipop, but it did in KitKat.
[Moto E Accessories] -Adarsh-:
what!@!!!!!

otg was working on kitkat?!!on moto e?

have you tested ?and on lollipop try fat32
[Moto E Accessories] KabirUnreal:
Yes, you need to follow the instructions above and need ES File Explorer from, the play store.
[Moto E Accessories] Adarsh1998:
Guys plz whoes on stock rom pls try if u can use otg in motoe using above method... It will help devs to implement this feature into custom roms.......

Well i flashed stock rom just to cross-check if above methid will work,

Well bad news is that i tried all method in stock 4.4.4 rom and didn't nt conected my pen drive.... Not tested on soak test rom and stock 4.4.2 so anyone have 4.4.2 rom then check if it works...........
[Moto E Accessories] SrDesalmado:
CONFIRMED!

OTG works on stock 4.4.2 using external powered usb hub, there is no mouse/keyboard detection but sucefully load my usb flash drive using the "Nexus Media Importer" app from playstore.

This means, Moto E has USB Host Support from hardware! The only limitation is in newest softwares/kernels!
[Moto E Accessories] wLoader:
Seriously? I still doubt about it. Sorry but could you give me ss/ photo please?
[Moto E Accessories] Adarsh1998:
Not sure with external power supply normally any android device will Mont. .. We need to mount without ext powered usb hub... Like in moto g and x.....

Correct me if i Wrong
[Moto E Accessories] SrDesalmado:
Some Android device does not support any type of usb connections, like most of LG phones, these devices haven't otg drivers, XML permissions, mount partitions and kernell support, but in hardware i think the only limitation is the 5V power supply, and yes, you're right, mounting usb sticks through ext powered usb hub isn't otg support like moto g and x, is only a simple USB Host support :)
[Moto E Accessories] -Adarsh-:
is that moto e?in ss
[Moto E Accessories] SrDesalmado:
Yeap
[Moto E Accessories] -Adarsh-:
Can u explain how you did it?and is that thing working on lollipop?
[Moto E Accessories] Adarsh1998:
[MENTION=5314755]-Adarsh-[/MENTION] Normally any android phones can mount usb with external powerd usb hub....

Srch in youtube like 'usb hub android' watch first vedio....
[Moto E Accessories] SrDesalmado:
I used a external powered usb hub and a simple otg cable, this method is working only on 4.4.2 stock firmware, don't ask me why, :eek: in lollipop it don't seems to work, but probally using a custom kernel is possible put usb host to work, let's wait for a developer to do that in future :D

Does anyone know any way to work this on lolipop ? Would be really helpful.

Amazing dude, can u provide me the rom link which u r using
[Moto E Accessories] mannu233:
It does on 4.4.2
[Moto E Accessories] Ankit_29:
I don't think so it is the software issue. Otg support is basically hardware part of function.

As hardware is fully responsible to allow micro usb port to read the usb drive.

Hi, I have a problem with restoring my apps when I switch to another ROM, I can't so it, WHY?

I tested on Cr-Droid, Euphoria OS and another and it can't restore my apps, I used Titanium, Go Backup, Backup+ and not worked.

How I can restore? Or Is a wipe problem, what I'm doing wrong?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landroid2000:
Titanium Backup cannot be used to restore app data BETWEEN ROMS. It can however restore apps between ROMS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Say whut? Explain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landroid2000:
Restoring data between ROMS using TB is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, it might fit but it won't like it. The backup of the data was built for the ROM which you backed it up on, and restoring that data will cause error on the new ROM. Restoring apps however is fine, because apps work across all ROMS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Ah, ok - thank you. I was confused by the misleading capitalisation.

"restore app DATA between ROMS" would have been clearer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
You can restore app data between roms just fine (titanium backup). The data partition is the data partition, no rom has anything special in this regard. It would be a square peg in a square hole. I have even done this across phones. My old S3 to my N5 to my wife's G2 and now to here Chinese phone. Also have restored all of data partition from a nandroid after switching roms (only on the same phone with this one).

Not saying nobody will ever face any problems with this, but it has worked for me.

hi all,

I've been getting a lot of telemarketing calls. Unfortunately it's hard to block them all since they spoof the # they are calling from. But a big chunk of them have no number at all, they just show up as unknown.

So i went into settings, call, call reject,

I set call reject mode to 'reject calls on list' and in the rejection list i checked the option to reject all private numbers. That doesn't seem to have helped though since i just got another call from 'unknown'.

There are no numbers in the rejected number list. I've actually just been adding the spam numbers to a 'blocked' contact i created and selected the option to send all calls from that contact to voicemail.

Is there something else i have to do to block unknown callers?

So on Tuesday the 9th I ordered a pure edition moto x with the cyber monday code.

I used a visa debit and had the shipping address in washington state at a shipping/receiving location that I use all the time for amazon and ebay purchases. (its a verified paypal address also)

Got an email a couple hours later saying my order was on hold and gave me a number to call.

I phoned them and after being on hold for a bit they said that the shipping address I used wasn't going to work as it was a 3rd party location. (dont know how they knew that as it is just addressed to my name with a street address....)

So I re ordered using the Cali address associated with the visa... I'll be there in a couple weeks.

Couple hours later got another email saying the order is on hold and to call. So I called and went through several different reps all not knowing why my order was on hold. They said I will get a confirmation email within 72hrs and all would be well. Also gave me a 25$ voucher for accessories for my trouble. (this I never received)

Fastforward to today I get an email saying my order has been canceled (the second order)(still nothing regarding the first order which I assume is canceled)

So I called and went through 2 reps and then a supervisor who said that I should use a different card and that maybe the issue was with my cc company. (this process took about 45 mins)

Checked with my bank and find out that as this is a Visa debit there has been two WITHDRAWALS from my bank account. (adding up to basically 1000$

So I called back and relayed this new information to yet another rep. He says that though my email said cancelled it just means it is still under review and I should hear something within 72 hours. He offered me the 25$ discount and this one I actually did get...

Any tips on what to do??? Right now I'm out a grand...have no Idea if i will get a phone...

lets hear your motomaker horror stories
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I can't offer any suggestions for your current predicament, but for the future I'd offer two suggestions;

1 Use a credit card Instead of debit.

2 Always use your residential address.

I hope this works out for you. Good luck.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetS:
I do not have a non debit credit card...others have used their visa debit cards without issue... I have no other choice.

I did use my residential address the second time....

Anybody have their order say it "remains cancelled" and then have it go through?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicdrivr:
Call your bank.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetS:
Well they just refunded both charges...without explanation

So I placed the order again...only now the turbo charger is out of stock :( this is seriously frustrating....

Hey All,

First of all this is a great site. Just got my Jas Jas a week ago and im in love with this place.

Any way enuf ego inflating. :D

--------

I thought that i would upgrade the radio version because there were reports that this would improve my UMTS / HSDPA reception.

It didn't here are my results.

1.34.00.10 Download (1st try)

Tried this one first as i thought the latest might have been buggy. Flashed nicly but the reception defaulted to GSM. Only worked on UMTS when i changed the band to 2100 rather than 850. And then the reception was 2 bars compared to the 100% i usually get.

1.27.00.00 Download (2nd try)

Tried this one next as its the reccomneded "stable" version.

Still go the same results.

1.20.31.10 (Orignal Shipped rom)'

Ended up returning to this rom to get functionality and worked no issues.

Was just wondering if any other AU ppl had these issues ?

And what is the chosen ROM of choice in AU.

I am still plucking up the courage to flash to XDA-Live but if i do my radio should not change because the install does not include a radio, correct.

And one last ? if i o upload to XDA-L does the extrom stay the same and will my unit grab all the op settings that are in the EXT Rom or do i have to load then with a cab that i can grab out of the ship rom?

Hope the post wasn't to long,

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] KevinBaker:
Hi Shaun,

I suggest you have a read through the threads and the Wiki, you'll find most of your answers are in there. XDA Live does not contain a Radio ROM so will not affect that side of things. Personally I recommend putting in your provider settings manually, as that way you know nothing will stuff up due to any funny files in the CAB!

I suggest you try the new radio ROMs again when you're running WM6, perhaps you've got issues with the icons displaying incorrectly depending on your radio version. Personally I'm using 1.35 without issue, and its been better than anything else, but then again I'm not with a provider who prides itself on making its own stupid frequency decisions just to be awkward ;)

Cheers

Kevin

im using the trinity radio 1.35.00.11 with NextG and also Vodafone and the HSDPA reception is awesome...

what ROM version are you using now??

xda-live does not flash the extended ROM... so you can use HTweakC to unlock it and use the cabs.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] danielalvers:
I use Blackberry so my device is connected via UMTS on Telstra all the time. I had upgraded to 1.35 radio because of the reports of it's increased reception.

Well the battery drained in about 5 hours so I am reverting back to the original rom which gave me 24-36 hours battery life with UMTS active.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Shaun33:
Thanks for the response guys. Ive read the wiki and have taken it in, just wanted to check.

I have now reverted back to the orignal radio rom that was shipped with the unit which is 1.20.31.10. Its a pain i am with telstra but there is nothing you can do when the company has 30od services with them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Shaun33:
Was going to load the trinity mod but does this mean that i need to super CID the device. As i got a country ID. This means i will void the warrenty. Is there a way that i can do it without the super CID.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] KevinBaker:
Err... the Trinity radio version in the Wiki (which I hope you're getting from the Hermes Radio Rom wiki page and not the Trinity page!) is bundled with SSPL which means you don't have to worry about CID.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
yes you need to run SSPL on your device before you run the update....

edit... and no you dont need SuperCID to flash this radio...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] KevinBaker:
.. but because the 1.35.00.11 radio only package from the Wiki is already bundled with the modified RUU updater which pushes SSPL to the device automatically, he'll only need to run the ROMUpgradeUt.exe

Edit: Actually with the 1.35.00.11 package, you don't even need to do that - just run the .exe you download from the Wiki and follow the prompts! What could be easier!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
i sent him the update... and i forgot the sspl-herm.exe file....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] KevinBaker:
Ah, makes sense then :D.

Shaun, you can either download the modified RUU Updater, or just download the 1.35.00.11 Radio ROM with RUU/SSPL updater integrated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Shaun33:
Thanks guys i thought that that rom was not the trinity one. Then one that i got was from the ftp :o .

Now i got that one which does have the RUU/SSPL updater integrated.

Thanks guys.
