[LG G Pro 2] leonclement:
Hi, im wondering if anyone has succesfully edited files in sys/class/leds to increase the notification led brightness? I have a white d838 and the led is only half as bright as my previous white G2 D802..

Thanks in advance :)
[LG G Pro 2] h8Aramex:
Try installing LED manager apps like "Light Manager", "Light Flow". They can also set brightness for LED.

Or if these won't work, just wait a few weeks. We already have a proper recovery (CWM), not long 'til we have custom kernels. Those can also set LED brightness.

(By the way my G Pro2 is MUCH brighter than my S3 was. Let alone HTC's dumb tiny micro-led on top.)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SAI Peregrinus:
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA

Android's encryption of the /data partition cannot be unlocked via TWRP or other recoveries. The normal "wipe data/factory reset" will fail, because /data can't be accessed.

I assume your phone has root, and you know how to get a root shell in ADB. There are tons of guides for that, but very few (none that I could find) for this.

First, in your root shell, run:

cat /etc/fstab

and copy the output to a text file or such where you can refer back to it. You should get something like this:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /efs ext4 rw
/external_sd vfat rw
/usb-otg vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /modem vfat rw

But the /dev/block/... bits may be different for different devices. Mine is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4.

Find the line with /data listed on it. In my case, that's "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /data ext4 rw".

Then you'll need just the first part. In my case, that's "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29". Using mke2fs we'll format the appropriate block device as ext4.

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p29

If your block device is different, then USE YOURS. Using the wrong block device will format the wrong partition. Formatting the /efs partition has been known to brick phones.

This will take a few minutes to complete. Once done, you will have a blank unencrypted /data partition.

Then you can do a normal data wipe/factory reset, install the rom, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doveman:
Thanks for sharing this but surely it's a lot easier/safer just to Format Data from TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Read paragraph after the all caps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doveman:
Yes, the normal wipe/factory reset doesn't work when it's encrypted but format does. I just did it myself from TWRP for the very reason that there was no other way to factory reset and it worked fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Keyword "format" vs "wipe" , it's like the obelisk from "2001", you don't mess with "format" .

Pp. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doveman:
Er, from the OP

"Then you'll need just the first part. In my case, that's "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29". Using mke2fs we'll format the appropriate block device as ext4.

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p29"

So that's just formatting it, with the additional risk of failying to identify the correct dev and formatting something you shouldn't!

[Sable] spgi:
folow next step:

1. copy shortcut voicecmd.exe from \program files\voice command to \windows\start menu\programs.

2. open buttons (start\setings)

3. Assign a program to button 1 (press-n-hold) assign voicecmd (not assign voice command)

This procedure work 100% microsoft voice command 1.6 my 6915 :)

[General Questions and Answers] finnpuschmann:
Hi, I have a Vodafone Germany SIM card that I would like to use in Australia to receive text messages (for online banking verification).

I have it S-Off, rooted and converted to Google Play edition and it has the latest Lollipop firmware, if that matters.

I have been in Australia since February and this used to work perfectly fine (a couple of months ago), but today when I tried to use my German SIM Card again I got "Emergency Calls only".

When I go to Settings --> Wireless & networks --> Cellular networks --> Network operators, after searching it gives me a list of 4 different operators, as well as choose automatically, no matter which I click on it says "Registering on [network] ..." for about 1-2 minutes, and then tells me "Can't connect to network right now, please try again later"

I have tried all I can think of:

Rebooting Phone

Turning LTE/3G/2G on/off

Turning Roaming On/Off

Turning Data On/Off

Dialing *#*#4636#*#* and turning on GSM only/ GSM auto/GSM LTE auto

All to no avail.

I have no problem using my Australian SIM and had no problems doing the same thing a couple of months ago. My Phone was already S-Off, etc. then.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
The aim of this thread is to make an easy guide to flashing stock firmware. Owners of previous nexus devices already know all this stuff, this thread is aimed at making the process as simple as possible for new users. This will work regardless of what modifications you've done to your device. Remember to backup all your important data and do this with the knowledge that all flashing activity carries some risk.

Download

Factory image here

(for windows users) Minimal adb & fastboot

(for mac users) adb & fastboot for mac

Follow the instructions to install adb on your computer.

Prepare your tablet

Enable developer options in settings > about tablet and tapping build number 7 times

Open developer options and enable usb debugging. (If you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, tick enable oem unlock)

Extract images

Place the downloaded factory image inside your adb folder and extract with 7zip.

A new folder will be there called something like volantis-lrx21. Open and extract "image-xxxxx-zip" to your adb folder. We are interested in these files:

bootloader-flounder-xxxxxx.img

boot.img

recovery.img

cache.img

system.img

vendor.img

Place these files directly into your adb folder.

# I recommend renaming the 'bootloader-flounder-xxxxxx.img' to just 'bootloader.img' to make it easier to type.

Now that everythings set up, we can start flashing :D

Plug in your device. Open the adb folder, hold shift and right click and select open command window here

(if your having driver issues try using Pdanet)

Run these commands one at a time

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

if you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet run

fastboot oem unlock

and follow the instructions using the volume keys to scroll through the menu. This procedure will wipe all data.

Run the following commands one at a time

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flounder-xxxxxxx.img
[B] [I](replace 'bootloader-flounder-xxxxx.img' with full name of bootloader image[/I])[/B]

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

(OPTIONAL) At this stage you can relock the bootloader if you want by running the command

fastboot oem lock

finally reboot the device by running

fastboot reboot

Thats it. Enjoy your tablet in factory condition :)
[Nexus 9 General] albsat:
Great. Is it possible to make a batch file to run all the commands at once?
[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
There is already a flash all batch script that comes with the firmware files but I've noticed that some people have problems with it so I decided not to include it. It should work fine most of the time.
[Nexus 9 General] scotty1223:
i am long-time familiar with htc,but new to nexus. i was looking thru a couple downloaded factory image files and having noticed that "rebootRUU" is an oem command,and that "image-xxxxx-zip" contains an android info document,i am curious if anyone has tried flashing image-xxxxx-zip as a zip file,in ruu mode?

I indeed tried this as a last chance hoping it would bypass bootloader lock protection. It didn't work since I think the factory image is not signed by HTC as RUU are . It also lead to a fastboot crash. Now sending my nexus 9 for RMA

cant flash stock rom

I'm trying to downgrade my nexus 9 from DU rom 5.1.1 to stock for everything. I'm running the flash-all.sh on linux while my tablet is in bootloader mode. Tab makes and few checks and reboots automatically in bootloader mode. I reboot tablet and still has the DU rom. Any tips
[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
The flash all script doesn't seem to work on linux. You shouldn't have a problem if you write the commands out manually.
[Nexus 9 General] cam30era:
As indicated, the flash all script doesn't work very well on any system. Flash each .img separately via fastboot.
[Nexus 9 General] doitright:
Problem is that the tgz is too big for the device's buffer, so it craps out before it actually writes the images. Its been this way for a while over several different nexus devices. Kind of like nobody at google ever even bothered to test the process.
[Nexus 9 General] cam30era:
I agree.
[Nexus 9 General] remedya:
I also used Linux but I executed the commands individually rather than using the script. It worked.

[Nexus 9 General] PlusOmar:
Ok I followed someone's steps on youtube to install Android M, installed it successfully and spent few days with then tried to revert back to 5.1.1 using his 'revert to lollipop method', the problem now is that my device is stuck in an infinite loop when it boots (basically the device reboots after optimizing the apps). I tried connecting the device to my pc again to try and re-do the process again but the adb devices command is no longer recognizing my device even though Windows appears to recognize it. Any idea how to solve this?
[Nexus 9 General] PlusOmar:
Update, actually it turned out that it was caused by rooting the Nexus 9. However I managed to root it using a program by wugfresh, would post links but I can't post links at the moment.
[Nexus 9 General] dgindra:
Hoping this isn't just a shot in the dark...

I used this method to attempt to return to stock after a failing to install CM 12.1 (first install on this device, never booted) via TWRP and fastboot/adb on Windows 10. The method was working great, but then I made a fatal error: I forgot to flash the system (very stupid mistake, I know). I rebooted (with all the other items flashed) and it didn't work (obviously). I went back to fastboot to try and fix my mistake and now my computer won't recognize the tablet at all. I can no longer access TWRP (I assume since I just over-wrote it with this process), however I can still get into fastboot.

Any ideas on how to revive it? Any insight at all would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 9 General] 1mystics:
Is your device bootloader still unlocked?

If its locked, then there is no solution as of yet, besides getting an RMA with HTC for those that have that option.

One possible path that some are trying is to find an RUU.zip from HTC ...so far I have not seen anyone find such an image.
[Nexus 9 General] noble.mm:
I'm not a genius with android or computers but I got my nexus 9 today and I downloaded nexus root toolkit on my computer. My plan was to root so I installed drivers, unlocked the bootloader and then proceeded to downgrade. After downgrading I was greeted with a black Screen that has the word Google in white in the middle. The instructions said that it should load the normal boot up in about 20 minutes and in 20 minutes it would then display solutions if it led to a boot loop etc. unfortunately I did not make it to that screen because my computer froze and I had to restart but the downgrading process was over before I restarted. It's been 3 hours now since I downgraded and I've tried to go into recovery and factory reset through the bootloader but everything ends in the result of this black screen of death. Any information on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated as I have possibly just thrown $300 out the window.
[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
Hi and welcome to xda.

You just learned a valuable lesson about using toolkits. You plug your phone in, click the buttons and it does it's thing. What is it doing? You don't know. We don't know and we can't diagnose you're problem.

If you still have fastboot you can follow this guide to fix it. If you have any trouble with the steps just ask and I can help you on the way.
[Nexus 9 General] monsieur_beau19:
Nexus Root Toolkit works fine for me but I've learned to do it manually just to kinda keep that knowledge with me. I find the NRT a lot faster to do. Anyway, as long as you can get to the bootloader, the issue can be resolved quickly. Make sure your tablet is on the charge when you do this as we may not know if the battery was low when you booted up the device. Secondly, make sure you download the stock firmware from Google's website https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. I assume you have the drivers installed since your device was able to communicate with NRT, so once you extract the file, run the command in the firmware's folder (holding shift and then right clicking an empty space) and type "Flash-all" (Type "Fastboot devices" to make sure the PC knows your N9 is connected). That should take about 5 minutes and you'll be back to the stock rom and recovery. You probably know all of this, but I want to reiterate to make sure you don't screw anything up by leaving something out.

Also, if you want to use a good toolkit, I would suggest Windroid. Unlike NRT, Windroid doesn't just flash anything and everything, it has it's own set of commands you can initiate, use your own files to flash, root if you'd like. Basically it's a simple program that even a beginner can be comfortable with using and makes it easier to learn how to "modify" your device. I hope this helps.
[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
I'm with you for most of what you said but I wouldn't recommend any toolkits to people who don't know the basics of fastboot. Why go through the long process of learning commands when you can just push buttons?

Then we end up here when they have to learn the important stuff after an unknown event bricked their phone.

If new people learned how to root and flash their phones manually then they'd already have the knowledge to fix it when something goes wrong.
[Nexus 9 General] noble.mm:
The only thing stopping me from doing this is that when I do connect my Nexus 9 to my laptop it doesn't show up. I hear the sound of it connecting (I'm on Windows) but then the nexus 9 tab of options never pops up and I can't see it through device manager.
[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
Do you have an adb connection?
[Nexus 9 General] noble.mm:
Like I previously said before I am a noob to all of this so I do not know what that means. If you're talking about usb debugging I did enable that but I tried to factory reset so it may have reset it, not sure because after the factory reset I went back to the black screen.
[Nexus 9 General] Art Vanderlay:
Factory resetting won't help you. Just keep your phone in fastboot mode and follow the instructions on the first page. You'll get it fixed.

Does not matter what version your device is on, you can flash the latest factory image.

If you have a locked bootloader and have not enabled "OEM Unlock", it is possible to sideload latest OTA images from recovery.

Note: The guide in the first post, has instructions to lock the bootloader at the end. DO NOT.
