In recovery mode you will see " backup " and restore " , backup will create a save of your phone , in case you brick it or had a bad flash you can restore everything ( data , system... ) ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix_rizzen:
/system is where the ROM is installed. You want to wipe that when installing ROMs.

/data if where apps you install from the Play Store are kept, and where your apps keep their data and settings and whatnot. If you don't wipe this when installing a newer version of the same ROM, then all your apps and data are kept. This is called a "dirty flash".

/cache is where apps and the Dalvik VM keep things temporarily to speed things up later. You can wipe this at any time without causing issues.

/sdcard is the "internal storage" for the user. This is where your camera stores it's pictures, where your media player stores music, where your downloads are kept. This is your storage. When installing ROMs, do *NOT* wipe this! If you do wipe it, you won't be able to install anything as there will be no files to read from!

/ext-sd is s folder that represents an external Micro SD card, if your phone supports that feature. Works similar to /sdcard.

So, to do a "clean install" or a "full wipe", you format /system, /data, and /cache.

To do a "dirty flash" you format just /system and /cache.

Now that has a more stable version of lollipop for XT1069, i tried putting back the kitkat 4.4.4.

When i enter in bootloader. connect my moto g to PC, and put the first command

So i downloaded the ROM TITAN http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-titan-z-t2949599 , and installed it from recovery.

After installing, my moto G staty stuck in the "WARNING, BOOTLOADER UNLOACKED" Screen.

When i enter bootloader to try to restore rom, putting the commands in PROMPT, notthing happens! and after a while, i get a message saying "mfastboot stopped working"

Sometimes when i'm more persistent, i get the error, in PROMPT, "out of memory"

i just can't turn on my moto G, and i can't install a new rom.

Did you wipe the Dalvik Cache and Do a Factory Reset? If not wipe these using the TWRP recovery. If your phone successfully boots up, enable USB Debugging, then connect to PC and check the command:

adb devices

to see if your device is being detected. If yes, then reboot to boot loader and flash the original Stock Firmware

Hi guys

I have just found my ta backup file!! Awesome news right?! I have to relock the bootloader using this file so my warranty is ok...

The problem is have is the usb doesn't seem to be working properly... It makes the dong ding noise but then says it's unrecognised...

I'm not sure but I think this means I can't relock... Is there anyway I can get this sorted out another way maybe doing it via flashing from the phone Itself?

Please help i don't want to claim on my insurance if i don't have to!

So to summarise, can you relock the bootloader from customers recovery? Is there a fix to get the pc to recognise my phone to do it via my laptop?

I have restored my TA backup in the past, and doing so seems to have locked the bootloader again. I say that because I was running the Doom kernel with the bootloader at the time, but after restoring the TA partition, the phone got soft bricked, as you can't run a custom kernel with the bootloader still locked.
[Android Apps and Games] lennartschoch:
Hey guys,

i would like to introduce you to an app i was developing a few weeks ago. I had a really annoying lag using YouTube, Google Play and a few other apps. I found out that I'm not the only one having these problems and that they are caused by WiFi-Routers sending an IPv4 and an IPv6 signal. Some apps can't handle IPv6, which seems to be preferred by Android. There is a file in the Android system, that can disable IPv6, but it is really inconvenient changing it every time you log into a WiFi-Network. I decided to build an app which is doing that for me and because it works quite well (but I'm of course thankful for every feedback or reported issue), i decided to upload my app to the Play Store. By now, you will need to use the app every time you log into a WiFi-Network again, but I'm working on an update which is including a service checking and changing the IPv6 status automatically :). If some of you are also having problems with IPv6, I would love to hear about your experience with this app! :)

Download: Attached

Thanks!

if you can integrate the app into Tasker, it would be possible to create task that executes every time when WiFi is connected :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassil2022:
I got my N6 (CW 46Gb) from Moto last Friday. I was amazed and exciting at the beginning. However, now I started noticing things that I am not sure if all Nexuses are like that or just mine. FYI, N6 rooted and unlocked bootloader on stock.

1. WiFi will not connect very quick. It will keep trying with "Authentication Problem" couple of times until it connects. It will take a while until it connects.

2. I can't use data mobile while I am on a phone call. I am with Verizon and I do have LTE in my area. I know for fact that I can do that because I used to do it my Galaxy Nexus and S4. (screenshot attached from N6)

3. call sound: the other end sound like "muffle" or "hollow" I don't know how to describe it, but it is not normal and not pure.

Any feedback or inputs would be helpful.

Thanks,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. i personally dont have an issue

2. first off, you cant use both data and phone calls on verizon, its a cdma carrier. now the possibility exists to use data and voice on verizon, with lte, and only if they rolled out Volte into your area. if not, you can not have both voice and data on verizon.

3. sounds perfect here, and especially awesome when im connected via tmobiles hd calling.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassil2022:
Thanks for your reply.

1. OK, mine might be defective unit. I will wait see other users what they say about it.

2. Yes I can use both with LTE device only! I am sure because as I said I used to do it on my previous Nexus on Verizon and Galaxy S4.

3. I try it for several days to make sure before I call it in.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
only if verizon rolled out volte in your area. and they just started at the end of this summer. without volte, its impossible to have voice and data on lte, for any network. if using a lte phone on tmobile or att(gsm networks), when you make a phone call when on lte, the signal drops to hspa or 3g automatically. as voice calls cant go through lte when not on volte. there is one exception, if you are making an internet phonecall(that doesnt need a phone line).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassil2022:
Man, look at pic attached. Using my wife's Galaxy S4 on Verizon proving that we can do it on LTE networks. I want to do it with my N6. I should be doing it like any LTE phone. I have an old 3G phone that doesn't do it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi7:
There are only some phones that can use voice and data on Verizon without volte and only because those phones have 2 radios, I can use voice and data on my note 4 but my wife cannot use it on her turbo. The nexus cannot use voice and data without volte.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassil2022:
yours makes more since. Now, have you tried N6 on Verizon LTE and didn't work like Turbo?

Edit: never mind, from Reddit "This was known. Droid Life's test showed no data while on call. There will be an update that will enable VoLTE on carriers that support it, when that goes out, LTE will work while on call on supported towers."

So, it is a matter of time.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtreth:
OK so, I don't understand. From Motorola's page:

Americas Model (XT1103)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

CDMA (800, 1900, secondary 800 MHz)

WCDMA (1, 2, 4, 5, 8)

LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41)

CA DL (B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29)​

It says "secondary 800MHz". I know I have the 1103 model, I have the box. Why on earth can the device not use the "secondary 800MHz" to make the call??
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Usually the carriers roll out an update to your phone which will allow you to use data while calling. At least that is my impression of big red. I haven't had Verizon in a while so I don't remember exactly but I think it has to do with the volte update that should be pushed out to the N6 for carries that support that and WiFi calling.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassil2022:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddog5523:
I don't understand how this is still a question. Lol. It has been stated in this forum that the Nexus 6 is still handicapped on Verizon until Verizon rolls out the VoLTE update for it. Until then, the one radio in the Nexus 6 will only use voice OR data at one time, not both. Older phones on Verizon usually always had two radios for simultaneous voice and data. Newer phones will now usually only have one radio, which I personally think is kind of silly.

Can't say whether the muffled and hollow call quality is a bad unit though. Mine sounds clear.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larzzzz82:
[MENTION=2403915]ataris_kid[/MENTION]... I am well aware that the gnex has 2 radios. My comment was made to drive the point home to someone posting in this thread that it wasn't possible; when in fact it is. Just not with the N6 at this point in time. I just hope that volte on vzw doesn't go the way of the pogo pins on this toro gnex with the N6.

Good day,

Guys I've had my P6 for almost a year now and the first week I got it I went straight to rooting and installed custom roms. I was enjoying each and everyone of them up until last week Friday morning the 12th, when I discovered that my phone which I left overnight charging was off due to an empty battery.

I disconnected and reconnected the charger then the red led flashed for a few seconds and became solid red and started charging. After 2 hours it was around 80%, then I attempted to switch it on and just got stuck on the HUAWEI logo and held power button for 10 seconds rebooted, but still stuck at the logo. I then went for recovery (power + vol up down) and I was in teamwin 2.8.1.0. The first strange thing there was the internal storage (EMMC) showing nothing 0 files and restore doesn't work giving me a lot of unable to stat data/ errors. I can access my phone via ADB and tried flashing stock recovery via fastboot and everything looks ok, but when I boot to recovery I still get TWRP 2.8.1.0 with same results. When all this occurred I was on stock 706 from latest Carbon rom. To be honest I don't know what is the cause of this and any help to revive my P6 will be highly appreciated.

I believe that you already lost the data in the internal storage so why dont you try to wipe it and install the rom from scratch? Its just a suggestion and you dont have to do it if you dont like it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Hayeni:
That's the other thing, as I tried advance wipe and it also fails. It seems like the device storage is locked and can no longer be modified. Even when I delete files over adb shell, they come back after reboot recovery. If I could only get rid of TWRP, then I can attempt to send in the phone for repairs and hopefully will be repaired under warranty.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
Try to wipe all through fastboot maybe?

---------- Post added at 22:26 ---------- Previous post was at 22:24 ----------

But before you wipe all, download atleast boot.img and recovery.img from same firmware so you can install a new one after (if it works).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Well your phone isn't hard bricked (so that's good). You might have to reflash the stock rom through odin. If you have hard brickbug affect memory chip, you shouldn't factory reset. Update to jelly bean (if possible) then factory reset.

Does a stock rom reflash solves this problem? Or do i need to flash a new Kernel to the phone?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
You should flash jelly bean stock rom (if available and not ics). Flashing a custom kernel like siyah kernel 5.0.1 will also prevent brickbug, but since you can't boot into your rom, a full flash is recommended.

What about different cables or different pc? I doubt this would fix anything. Seems that there is some kind of problem with the NAND chip in your phone.

Also i only have one file to be modified and thats for the dual window mod so i could dual window all apps. Is this part of the problem?

I found a thread that told me some command lines to restart the phone without needing to wipe but how do i get rid of this ota update?
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
While you can (sometimes) install an OTA while your phone is rooted, you should never try to install one when it is fully unlocked (i.e. - custom recovery installed). You edit seems to indicate you fixed it, but if you're still having issues I know there are steps to get out of the bootloop you're experiencing, I just don't have off hand where they're at. Bottom line, if you're root AND unlocked (running twrp), you should never take an OTA as there's no reason for it. You can install one of the fine stock-based roms that have been updated to the latest VZW software and have no risk in doing so. Just for future reference :)

If you have a USB otg cable, you can put the flash...zip file linked in the post on a flash drive, then tell twrp to install that to clear the ota.

Alternately, twrp has a small terminal emulator. Look at the part of the post with the commands listed. Only input the su and two dd command lines, in twrp.

After either of the above, tell twrp to reboot to system.

Once you can successfully get back to your normal system, either freeze "System updates...." or use a file manager to rename the two LGDMSClient files found in /system/app, then reboot your phone one more time.
