Im flashing rom it is displaying update boot img
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tencents123:
Hey guys,

I had previously encrypted my phone with the inbuilt android encryption, but it just didn't work (the PIN wasn't my password)

I tried to factory reset it but it didn't work either, from both fastboot or recovery.

So I reflashed my entire system from fastboot (which worked perfectly). Now I want to install the unofficial cm12 zip, but I can't erase userdata from my phone at all.. Either through fastboot or recovery, and I'm locked to the GPe image I am using currently.

The recovery error I get when trying to delete my data partition is:

-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.

I have no idea what to do help please?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlm0:
Possible solution

Okay, so the CWM recovery is beyond stupid and seems to want to verify that it can read a partition before it lets you format it. But you can't do this if you've encrypted it. So you have to reformat it yourself. But first, you have to figure out the device name of that partition.

After you've booted the phone into recovery, you'll need to send commands to the phone with adb.

Type this to receive an error revealing a device name:

adb shell mount /data

Then type the following using the /dev/ name given in the error from the first command. That device name might be unique to my phone. I'm not sure:

adb shell ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/

In any case, you want to find where userdata is pointing to. On mine, it is:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p36

Then to double check which type of filesystem is being used on that userdata partition:

adb shell cat /etc/fstab

Then to format it yourself (if f2fs is the filesystem) since CWM recovery won't bloody well do it and lets everyone think they've bricked their phone:

adb shell mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p36

Disclaimer: this worked for me, but I can't make any guarantees. It got me past the error CWM was giving. After I formatted the partition on my own, CWM recovery was able to proceed as normal.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atharwa velhankar:
Worked for me atleast

1) You Need twrp recovery.

2)Select data partition.

3)Change file system to some other than f2fs.

4)Again change file system to f2fs (without rebooting recovery).

5)Repair Partition with twrp menu.

6)If Partition repair was successful then wipe the Partition.

7)? Good to go.

8)And yeah though it doesn't brick your phone if anything happens to your device then I am not responsible.:D

Hello,

I have ran into some rather severe complications of rooting my LG G3 and I don't know where to find the needed information to repair the damage done to my advices functionality.

Okay so to summarize what led to my phones current state I had to downgrade the firmware to vs98510b to root the phone. The downgrade and rooting went fine, however once I got root access I decided to remove a good portion of the bloatware software on the phone to try and increase performance and security. I used a root access level program to uninstall a total of 42 bloatware apps installed by LG and Verizon. After I rebooted the device I discovered that somehow the lg keyboard had been removed with the other bloatware, seeing as thats the only keyboard app installed by default I basically had no on screen keyboard at all in order to fix that I had to use bluetooth to send a keyboard apk to my phone to install.

After I finally got my keyboard back and functioning again I discovered that my phone was no longer being detected when plugged into my computer. on the phone it stated that I needed to install the USB drivers or plug and unplug the device back in to fix the issue, it would not get resolved by either method. So I looked more into what apps had been removed when I removed the bloatware and it looks like the file manager, keyboard and a few other apparently important bloatware had been removed.

If I connect the phone to the computer adb claims no device is connected, and if I boot the phone into download mode it never goes past 0% however it wont get detected by my computer itself at all. From what I have found so far it appears I need to flash the phone back to the complete stock state to get the bloatware reinstalled, however without a pc connection about 99% of the tutorials I have found cannot be used since it wont connect to the pc anymore. I am completly stuck and need advice and possibly a set of links to read on or guide to follow to repair the phone. Finally the last thing I noticed was the phone battery status cannot be detected through the android ui I have to actually use different battery monitoring software just to even know the correct charge level.

I look forward to yours alls response :).

Hi,

Here's a dedicated help thread in your device section that you can ask for help in,

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298

Also, you really need to know what you're debloating. One wrong thing and you're in a mess. A way to try to avoid this is using titanium backup to freeze bloat, instead of uninstalling it. Then if you're able, you can always unfreeze if you need to. Uninstalling is not gaining you much space, as those apps tend to be very small in size. ?

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] sourceavenger:
Okay you may lock this thread now since you redirected me to the correct forum :)

You can lock this thread if you like since you linked me to the correct forum/thread regarding this issue :).

Thanks for the help :)

PS I attached the list of all my system apps currently on the phone I removed 42 total system apps, however I am unsure as to which ones they were as when I went to fix the problem I factory wiped the phone to try and repair the issue. However, after trying that I basically narrowed the issue down to needing to flash the stock rom back onto the phone to get the bloatware back. I would have to do it all from the phone though without the computer since some of the bloatware I removed makes it unable to connect to my computer now :(.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Ask for help in the link I gave.

But I'll say, you removed many things that I don't know what they are for. So chances are you don't know what they're for either.... A number of them could be causing you issues.

Never debloat things you are unsure of. You want to know exactly what they are for, and know that they are safe to freeze.

And again... Freeze them, don't uninstall them... That's my opinion anyway. All of those combined take up very little space. ?
[XDA Assist] sourceavenger:
I did actually ask for help in the other thread I just wanted to give you the curtousy of replying to your questions.

In regards to the removal of the bloatware itself. I have never had a rooted or even rootable phone before, bloatware removal in computers never negatively effected me thats why when I did a rather short set of searches regarding to the apps I removed they seemed like they would be fine to remove, however the effects made things I didnt remove not function aswell. I have learned my lesson if I want to avoid bloatware I am better off installing a custom rom and recovery than messing with the android bloatware integreted in the stock firmware.
[XDA Assist] sourceavenger:
You can close this thread :)

Well after a few days of what I can only describe as a nightmare I did manage to repair my phone back to a stock state, I even managed to get a customer rom on it called Ressurrection Mod!

Woot woot overcame my epicfail!!! :P

EDIT: In case anyone wants to know how I resolved the situation my fiances phone me and her got the same exact phones and models. When I rooted her phone last night the idea came to me to use a Nandroid backup from her phone to overwrite the data on my phone to restore all the bloatware. After doing so my phone is back to functioning correctly again! :). All I had to do was rename the backup from her phone to match the generated hash on my phone so that TWRP would recognize the backup!!!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itspraja:
I've been trying to figure out what is the best ROM for Note 2 N7100, I have tried a few below but even the stable versions have some issues.

1) Paranoid Android

-4.45 [STABLE] (Screen black out unexpectedly, Exchange Service Issue, System UI failing unexpectedly)

-4.43 [STABLE] (Screen black out unexpectedly)

2) CYANOGENMOD

-11 [SNAPSHOT M11] (Screen black out unexpectedly, Exchange Service Issue, System UI failing unexpectedly)

-Nightly Build (They are nightly so can't complain)

NOTE: CM 11 NIGHTLY (December 3, 2014), that build is very stable as compared to other Nightly builds.

3) SLIMKAT

4.4.4 Build 8.0 [OFFICIAL] (Sync Issue, Apps purchased in Google Play not downloading, Wifi Issue)

4) DN4

I know this is a very new ROM and they haven't released a stable version, but even after flashing the patch, it throws a lot of error.

5) PAC MAN

Nightly Build (August 25, 2014) This ROM I found very amazing, high in performance and awesome battery life. But it has the same issues as CM & PA: Screen black out unexpectedly, Exchange Service Issue, System UI failing unexpectedly.

6) OmniROM

I didn't get a good chance to go through this ROM, but it got stuck at sync as well. So removed it.

One thing very common in all these ROM's is when charging the phone in Power Off mode, the battery Icon is stuck and the phone hangs. Although, the phone is charging, but it won't start through the power button. You'd have to remove the battery and put it in again.

Any suggestions about a very stable ROM for N7100? (No TouchWiz! :eek:)

P.S: This is my first post, so please excuse any errors. :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] HugePotato:
Hello,

so as a user of Xperia Z2 I have my rights to complain. This phone is nothing but amazing when it comes to functionality but sucks at build quality. My phone has a gaps around the frame of the display. At top right there is a small gap, on bottom left and on the left of the phone. These places, especially the gap in left side of display, collect dust and other trash. Also the USB flap is popping off all the time dispite having been cleaned and replaced by polish warranty service, propably because the phone's frame has a little arch in there. Also back of the phone had a bit of a move. It has been replaced by afore mentioned service and it does not sqeak anymore when pressed but the top of frame of the phone has been scratched in the process.

So my experience with service has been quite bad. They did replace back and USB flap(so they say but taking into the account it has had dust on silicon seal when I received it I am not so sure) but it left a scar on the phone. So the flap is popping off anyway, making phone not waterproof and annoying.

Now I would like to point out that I use magnetic charger so the port has not been opened too many times actually. Also sending the phone off for repair is not an option now because it will take them another 3 weeks time to repair it.

To be honest I wrote this to scare off some potential Sony buyers because build quality simply is not too good or at least make them check their new phones thoroughly and return if they are flawed.

you could post your problem here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2744197 + telling your batch number. If people from the service made any damage to your phone you have to complain about it and ask for a new device since it was not your fault... its kinda late now i guess.
[Xperia Z2 General] Harrymac:
I myself have always used Samsung phone in the past until this year when I got the Z2 after many hours reading and watching reviews. Never once did a read or watch a bad review regarding the build quality of the Z2.

For me, the Z2 totally outshines my previous Samsung phones on the build quality site of things. It totally feels like a premium device to me.
[Xperia Z2 General] Plain Water:
I have similar issues as well. Flaps pop out repeatedly after cleaning and replacement. Had gaps in phone, which caused water damage...
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
One of the reasons that gaps open itself (if they are clear with no dust in it) is the pressure in the phone that is coused in situations for example like in your pocket and you run/bend.Thats why when you drop it to the ground the flaps are opening to release the pressure.The water test which is provided in the menu of the Z2 have the same way of working as well - pressure determinate that if the phone is sealed and ready for a swim when you bend it abit. :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 General] maddboss:

[Xperia Z2 General] HugePotato:
Quite sad that Sony can't give you a well built phone for this price...To be honest after having Desire 816 for 3 weeks in the meantime as Sony was being serviced I started regretting that I didn't buy M8. It would be **** specwise compared to Sony but the build quality is just marvelous...Or wait for Z3. I think I could call myself Sony fan some time ago but now I am not so sure. Will have Z2 in mind when buying next phone in 1.5 year time.
[Xperia Z2 General] alb3rtt:
Not trying to offend anyone but I believe that a great bunch of us XDA members are extremely anal about our devices.

Every device I've owned has had people complaining about the most minor of issues that no regular users ever hear of.

"MY PHONES CAMERA IS 0.01MM AWAY FROM BEING CENTRED, IS SONY FOR REAL, HOW COULD THEY DO THIS, BLAH BLAH"

I bought my Z2 being incredibly happy with the build quality and i still am.The metal/glass body is exceptional in terms of build quality. Compared to the plasticy build of the G3/other devices, our phone is amazing.

The issue is more of a quality control issue but the thing is that the "issues" we have are so very minor. The gaps form no actual issue, same with off centred camera (that i know of), the flaps popping off is an actual issue but i dont personally know anyone who has had this happen to them, only a few xda users. (Probably due to the constant opening for flashing purposes/other purposes)

Sending it back should fix it, and if it doesnt then send it back again.

Also, all phones have issues. Look on any other phone forum. Our phone is actually better off when compared to others in terms of quality control.
[Xperia Z2 General] super-user2.3:
hi guys i want to buy this phone soon and i just wanted to check if the build quality issues i read about are real or not

1) do the flaps really pop up on their own? and if yes what has caused them to do so?is it a manufacturing error?

2) i read about some camera issues with not starting from lockscreen

3) some devices has reported that because of the size of the phone the device has suffered from cracks and niggles caused by the pressure while in pockets?

and please if u can give me your overall experience with the phone and should i buy it or not

p.s : i'm coming fro htc one m7 but the m8 is too expensive and i want to try sony now

thanks in advance to all
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
1. Not for me, most problems are there with early batches which are harder to comeby now

2. Camera seems to launch fine from lockscreen although a rather large delay

3. The self cracking issue i cant realy tell, my device undergoes my fat behind sitting on it also being extremly hot to cold, i left it in my freezer one time at -30 celcius for a hr and its fine

I agree with some of these issues arent realy issues

Ive had 4 Z2 replacements and i only had them replaced due to serious heating issues, large quantities of dead pixels and one if not both speakers being dead

Im happy with my off centre Camera and my dim led light and my single dead pixel

So Dear other users

If it doesnt affect your handling of the device its best to forget about it.
[Xperia Z2 General] alb3rtt:
1. Not for me. Probably extreme use/excessive opening.

2. Nope. Perfect here.

3. Well i personally havent had this happen. I have dropped my phone onto concrete without a case while running from my pockets and its still perfect with literally only 1 small not noticble mark on the corner so i doubt itll crack from pressure in your pocket.

Go for the z2. Its a great phone imho.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

4 Z2's?!?!? Holy sheet metal. Wow you are very unlucky. I personally have a 100% perfect no issues at all z2. If your current phone has issues, just keep returning it. I had 3 nexus 5's, all with various actual issues before i got a perfect one... then i water damaged it. Lmao
[Xperia Z2 General] maddboss:
build quality issues can affect waterproofing?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
headphone port, gaps and speaker grill problems can potentially hurt the devices water resistance ability
[Xperia Z2 General] maddboss:
so you're sayin that gaps can't affect waterproofing?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Well the gaps and headphone port issues im not too sure realy.
[Xperia Z2 General] maddboss:
anyway I'll try it sometime but I'm a bit scared about the gaps
[Xperia Z2 General] alb3rtt:
They dont. If you want to make sure that it is waterproof, go on the test if waterproof without water thread.
[Xperia Z2 General] maddboss:
and if it works then it's sure that my phone is waterproof? here is a screen record of the test on my phone
[Xperia Z2 General] alb3rtt:
Yes. That is waterproof. Thats just how my z2 reacted and it was perfectly waterproof. If you want even more proof that it is infact waterproof, open up one flap and do the test again. No pressure increase at all.
