be sure you're flashing the odin packaged file when flashing through odin.

be sure you're flashing the recovery flashable package when you are flashing through recovery.

on the md5 you can remove the .md5 extension and flash.

all recoveries have been tested and proven. refine or revisit your process.

Additionally read the OP and relevant entries/post in thread completely.

Okay, so I installed the Alliance ROM with safestrap and ROM Customizer, and now when my phone starts up it says SAFESTRAP DISABLED and then it goes to the Alliance ROM Boot logo and wont turn on. It vibrates and the keys flash as if it's about to turn on, but doesn't. I really just wanted to install this rom. could someone add me on skype and help me please? I'd be so grateful... skype: ndd392000
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

We don't do Skype here.... We help navigate the site, pointing people to areas where they can find help.

And I'd need to know your device make and model number to point the way for you.

That said, Asking for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from is your best option.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Actually, I see I previously pointed out your device section to you. And told you the Q&A section is where to ask for help. Or of course, the rom thread... Which is better.

Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site , not for support.

Thank you for understanding, and please use your device section.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johntuck77:
Hi guys

Here is my little theming problem with my phone. I really like the texting app of Samsung or to be even more specific the notification icon on the status bar (see below) I would very much like to add this notification icon on my secondary phone which is not a Samsung phone.

Questions?

1) Is there a third party app that lets me change the notification icon to that - I know Handcent, Evolve SMS, and Textra let you change notification icons but none are really to my liking or let you import custom images.

or

2) Can the TW texting apk be ported to a standard android phone - probably not since it is most likely depending on TW but I figured I ask.

or

3) Is there a way to change the notification icon in standard android?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] i7vSa7vi7y:
Ok so I wanted to install one of these bootanimations from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2334927

I installed one that is 1080x1920 but it doesn't flash. In Philz recovery it says aborted. So then I went as far as trying to create my own from awesome gifs I found around the web using Boot Animation Factory.

I tried 480x800, 720x1280, 800x1280, and 1080x1920. I am still getting the same result. Nothing. Yes I am naming them bootanimation. If anyone could let me know what I'm missing I would appreciate it. If someone helps me I have some cool boot animations for the Galaxy S4 that I will share. I'm on Sac's ROM if that makes a difference.

Edit: I notice Touchwiz boot animations are different since there is no bootanimation.zip I tried to install the S5 boot animation for the Galaxy S4 and only the audio worked. I'm on Sac's ROM

Edit: Ok so I figured it out. You need to flash this zip called Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip and then you are able to place the bootanimation in the system/media folder and you'll have a custom boot animation
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide95:
Hi guys.

I used to get a notification which was bugging me to update to 5.0.

I blocked that ongoing notification through Gravity Box (Xposed)

I don't know what has happened, but now when I go to system updates, I see "your system is up to date".

I could have downloaded the update last month but did not because of some root issues. Now when I want to upgrade, I can't.

Any idea on how to get the OTA update? (I can flash the zip, but don't want to)

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You'll have to wait for it to come round again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide95:
Wait for the notification? But why? It was available a few days ago... Vanished after I installed the Closed framework.

I also installed eggster for different easter eggs. Can that be a problem?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The notification goes after a while if you don't accept it. You go to the back of the queue. Sounds like you've made enough modifications for the ota not to work anyway
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide95:
Okay, this might sound stupid but... Making a lot of modifications disables the OTA or something?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
OTA requires no modified files to apply. You'll still get the notification (when its your turn again) but the install will fail
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curiousn00b:
I believe he means, too many modifications that differs from the OTA zip.

Restore the factory image, or side-load it.

I don't k ow if this method still works, but:

Google Services Framework, Force Stop, Clear App Data, then go check System Update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide95:
Service cannot be stopped. Rebooted quite a few times now.

Looks like I'll have to install the factory image directly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Flash the 5.0 image manualy in fastboot or better yet wait a bit more for the 5.0.1 image to be posted by Google.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide95:
The funny thing is, I got a notification to update even after rooting, patching apps etc.

It is only after I installed Xposed that the OTA vanished.

Some people say that even the presence of SU app can fail the update. Is it true?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Look in the general thread OTA thread http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327, the OTA is still available there. First reflash the latest 4.4.4 Nexus 5 image and after that sideload flash the OTA in recovery. Backup your files first before flashing 4.4.4 again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide95:
I will flash the 5.0.1 directly now. Thanks all. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
No no, its the 5.0 OTA. The 5.0.1 isn`t out yet for the N5 ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There is no link between modifications and the notification. The notification would have disappeared even if you were stock unrooted. The fact it disappeared after installing xposed is pureb coincidence

[HTC One X] zaki aziz:
hi guys..

i need some help. few days ago my device won't rotate.

already reboot and do factory wipe, but nothing chg at all. I try run cpu-z, then i've found sensor was empty.

... any possiblity to fix ? thnks
[HTC One X] sadoan.ag:
First, you can calibration G-Sensor from Setting.

If not ok, you can try to Funtion test by type *#*#3424#*#* > Run > G-Sensor>Run. If Error.

This is the end,

You prepare for me a game 3D require hight configuration or another game same that and recharge full your phone battery.

Now you can play. Until you feel your phone hot, don't worry ! you just play until phone battery empty, recharge and play game. 1 or 2 times like that, your G-Sensor will comeback.

If not ok ! I bandage my hand.

Maybe your G-Sensor chip is lost. Change it !

[Amazon Fire Phone] rster:
I was about to return the fire phone because of no root and boot-loader locked tight, when I ran the AnTuTu Benchmark. The graphics were all smooth and the final score was 41588! With a score like that and costing about $100, I have to keep it even if I don't connect it to a carrier at this time. I'm now looking for more reasons to like it. Here are mine:

It's a nice black tile laying on the desk and a conversation piece for geeks.

With the side-loaded gapps and another launcher (Google Now) it's not that annoying (except for maps).

Using Nokia HERE and downloading the maps makes the phone a great navigation system even if not connected to a carrier.

That AnTuTu score of 41588 makes it a lot faster than any phone in my house.
[Amazon Fire Phone] plympton:
Solidly built

Good camera, if a bit slow to focus

Makes a great game device for the kids on car trips

Good battery life - very low drainage in cell radio off mode

32gb - enough for a ton of content (re:kids!)

Uses nano sim for when i accidentally dump my ip6 in the toilet. :)

$100? Sheesh an L90 costs that much and it's dog slow by comparison!

Awesome IPS screen

I am using it when my ip6+ is too big for my pockets. Such an easy thing to switch back and forth.

I tried installing gapps but thought you needed root on 3.6.8. If not then I'd prob keep it and not return it. It seems well built but all I am missing is apps, I kinda like the amazon carousel.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njaustin123:
I have an AT&T Converted GPE HTC One M7.

I recently flashed the 5.0.1 OTA and got the lollipop.

With the help from the RUU thread I was able to re-root it by flashing the latest TWRP and SU.

The question is if I re-flash the stock recovery, will I be ready for future OTAs just like it was until KitKat? Someone in that thread was telling me I may need to flash the system image too.

Please help.

BTW, quite happy with the Lollipop except the backlight issue and missed call LED notification missing bug not yet fixed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
did you lock and unlock the bootloader ? that would be the only reason to reflash the system partition

If the OTA worked all you need is Stock recovery and the next OTA will also work.

I hated it, crap camera, crap battery life, crap google music player, crap google launcher, no button lights, poor wifi and data signal, crap app drawer, etc etc. If I wanted stock crap android i would have a Motorola phone. Sense 6 Rocks !!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njaustin123:
My bootloader is kept unlocked from the day when I did the GPE conversion during 4.3. So Hope future OTAs should be just fine.

Barrier Dodge is a free Google Play app made by me alone.

You have to dodge as many obstacles as you can to get the highest score you can.

There are achievements and a leaderboard so you can compete with others.

There are 3 themes and 6 colours to chose from which change the background and player design.

I would really really appreciate it if you checked it out! Its my first app too :)

Download it on the Google Play Store here!.
[Android Apps and Games] murali:
Nice app. Need more graphics though :)

But nice start with first app
[Android Apps and Games] TomBayley1:
Updated Barrier Dodge to version 1.2.2

• Gameplay is now much smoother

• Able to remove ads and get more themes

• Android 5 theme now has backgrounds

• Fixed stuttering issues
[Android Apps and Games] TomBayley1:
Just put out a new update to fix high scores not uploading to the leaderboard

I also made a new app called Snake 3D

You can download it on the Google Play Store here
[Android Apps and Games] Freddy_Five:
Congrats to barrier dodge, minimalistic yet fun! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ArtGaming:
nice snake! but first games not perfect
[Android Apps and Games] Degineth:
You really need to learn some graphic design or outsource it or get some free assets because those screenshots will honestly turn anyone away from your app.

Other than that, the game is smooth and the gameplay is nice. Just "tighten up the graphics on level 3" and it should be a good game.
[Android Apps and Games] TomBayley1:
Thanks. Yeh Barrier Dodge was my first app so i was just trying to gain experience by making it. What can i do to improve it?
[Android Apps and Games] TomBayley1:
Are you talking about Snake 3D or Barrier Dodge? and what do you mean by tighten up the graphics, make it look better or increase performance?
[Android Apps and Games] Degineth:
I'm talking about barrier dodge. And the "tighten up the graphics" is a joke from this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho

Before there is a solution, you can change the system date to the next day and reopen Play Store. After that, you can restore the date to the current date.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
ive ordered an amazon fire tv in England , and now someone tells me ii may not be able to root it to put xbmc on it and then install a vpn on it , is this true or not and how can i tell ? also if this box wont do this , can you recommen a device that will work as i need to install a vpn directly onto the device so only the device uses the vpn , i also have a virgin media superhub ? thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
I don't think UK firetv's can be rooted unless you do it using the hardware method.

You can install xbmc on it.

if not rooted you cannot install vpn.

suggestion, try to get a rooted firetv from the us
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
what box would do what i require in the uk ? as i dont fancy the hardware method . thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Look on ebay. As far as I know anyone in the west coast like Los Angeles are still getting the old firmware. If you have a friend here, send the box to him and have him root it for you. the guides written by rbox and others are perfect.

If you are looking just for xbmc then there is no need to root.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
i will need it rooted because i need a vpn installed , as virgin media (my isp) are blocking 1 channel and now icefilms , and i need a device that that i can install the vpn directly onto because the superhub router isnt compatable with any vpn . i dont know anyone in the usa , thanks

if i bought a new amazon fire tv from the states , would i be able to root that easily or is it not possible to root the new devices ? thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
It depends, did you buy new or refurb. did you buy it from ebay or amazon. Which location. The best way to find out is to boot it up normally and go to system and check the firmware and disconnect the firetv and if confused. ask here.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
i bought a new one from amazon uk , its still in the box and i will return it , as i have been told that new ones cant be rooted , is it the same if i bought one off amazon in the usa . ? or could that be rooted ? do you know which software versions can be rooted and which cant , just incase the one i have has older software ? ive looked at the site you said instead of using vpn , it looks interesting , thanks for your help , enjoy your vacation
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnted:
The ones Staples has are packing the old firmware, but you will still have trouble registering the device from where you are. As the other person mentioned you will need someone here in the states to set it up for you.

Or you could just buy a router that supports vpn. Ones that can run DD-WRT or similar custom firmware can usually be got for half the price of the FTV box.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
hi i have bought one off e-bay from the USA , its been rooted and has xbmc loaded on it . Will i be able to install a vpn onto it seeing as its been rooted and has anyone a tutorial on how i can do this ? thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
It will depend what the Rooter did.. Seems a lot of the ones being sold on eBay already rooted do not come with CWM or a PreRooted FW. But you should be able to upgrade to that once you backup the XBMC & other things. Then you can take stock of what has been done to the Rooted FTV. And upgrade things from there.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
are there any tutorials about that would show me how to do this ? thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
First you would need to establish where your FTV is at. Then you can make a plan for what is left to upgrade/update.

I myself use the Amazon FireTV Utility App v0.34. And I have written a few walkthru posts. I use this Utility so I don't have to input everything manually. Really shortens the time it takes to mod things.

But I still base everything I do from the many guides over @ http://www.aftvnews.com/

All the guides can be found here: http://www.aftvnews.com/tag/guide/

And the best starting point is found here: http://www.aftvnews.com/start/

You would just skip the parts that have already been done to your FTV.

Did you already order one ?? If you already order one then just familiarize yourself with the guides. And options & the Utility. And the once you receive it then you can start to form a plan... Let me know when you get it. I can try to help... PM me if needed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
thanks for that i will have a read of those links , i have already bought it and its on its way , ive asked the seller about the CWM or a PreRooted FW. but he didnt know what it was , he said its pre loaded with xbmc and ready to plug in and watch , its also been rooted . is there a guide for installing a vpn ? because if it comes with xbmc installed and is rooted , i may only have to install the vpn . thanks for your help
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemaden:
the ftv has arrived and has been rooted using the ADB method , so it shouldnt update when i plug it in , ( my router wont allow me to block domain names , so i cant block the amazon updating links ) . i am going to try to install hide my ass vpn directly onto the ftv and im using the instructions from this link **tps://vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/ , should i be able to skip the instructions until the downloading of the 2 apps for the openvpn installer ? and just one more thing in the instructions that im not sure about is the op 2 in sideloading of apps " change directory (CD) to your android SDK platform tools directory " ? im not sure what this means or how to do it , could someone explain ? thanks for your help .
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdoshi:
No, just because you are rooted does not mean that you won't get OTA updates. You need to disable the package that checks for updates. Before anything else, this should be the first order of business, else you can loose root.

Regarding OpenVPN, yes. You install 3 things:

1. tun.ko

2. OpenVPN installer.

3. OpenVPN settings.

Make sure BusyBox is installed as well (not just installed, but you need to open the app and install the binaries within it).

As someone mentioned about using a DNS re-director service, you should check that out. VPN might be an over-kill for your needs. And if you do decide to go the VPN route, the best option is to get a cheap router on which you can install DD-WRT or OPENWRT (check those sites before you buy a router and make sure it is supported). You can run DD-WRT as a VPN client and you can connect your FTV to this router (set up as a VPN client to your commercial VPN provider) and only funnel FTV traffic over this VPN. You can put this router down-stream from your main router. Check to see if your VPN provider offers PPTP as well (less secure, but maybe faster). PPTP is not available natively on FTV, so you will need to use a secondary device to route your traffic.

What the "change directory" is talking about is that your command prompt needs to be in the folder where adb is installed. Usually, in the "platform-tools" folder. In this folder, you will put your apk files that you need to install to your FTV (you can put these apk files somewhere else, but for sake of sanity, put them there).

It will be very helpful to you if you go to www.aftvnews.com and read the guide on adb installs.
