[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
[MENTION=886585]zeeboid[/MENTION], I think you are right to consider the Moto E as the bare minimum device. Having looked at other options for the last week, it is the best device for the money - anything cheaper and you get a poorer quality screen (and less responsive), reduced battery and general build quality.

I'm sure you are aware of the differences between Moto E and G. I believe the Boost Moto G can have it's Bootloader unlocked. Have you tried the official method?

In terms of the ROM, Stock has stability, and performance if debloated. I haven't tried, but it should only be a matter of deleting the telephony-related apks to achieve what you want.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeboid:
[MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION] - I appriciate the input. the cost savings of $50 per phone appears not to be worth the PITA of going through all that. I guess there is no easy button to saving $5k. Tiz what it tiz.

I have some copies of Dogbark Wav file (1) (2) and I erased them from my desktop computer. However I can't erase these from my TYTN thus causing activesync items to remain unresolved.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Have you tried both deleting on the device and using Active Sync "explore"?

Does the file show as read only?

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airship357:
I'd really like to get a Nexus 9, but it seems like there's no end to the hardware issues people are having. I know HTC has said they've fixed the issues, but is there anyone here who has gotten one in the past few weeks, and if so, were the issues still present? I don't want to get into a loop of sending it back to HTC and them sending it to me with nothing getting resolved. Should I just get a Galaxy Tab S and deal with TouchWiz?

edit: I suppose the title should read "having defects", not "getting defects". Oh well.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrage23:
I have 2 with no issues at all. I also had the Tab S which is Samsung there for it will never get any updates. Buying any electronic device is a crap shoot.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airship357:
Did you get those Nexuses recently though? Not getting updates would be the downside to the Tab S, I agree. Lollipop is so nice, but TouchWiz would cover it up even if it were updated.

At the end of the day, any issues you have you can march it straight back and get a full refund.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfick3:
So, I recently bought my 15 y/o son a device to play around with as a Wi-Fi only device. He wants to learn how to create ROMs and use ADB and so on. I'd like an idea of what he maybe ought not to do while flashing stuff. I am in the understanding (from playing around with my Moto G) that as long as you can get into fastboot, you should be able to flash the stock ROM back to the device, or push a custom ROM out to the device, and flash a recovery, thus not perm bricking the device. Is that correct? So, What can perm brick the device? What types of things should I coach him on not doing. The Moto G is my first device that I can get into fastboot with (my older devices were low end LG phones with locked boot loaders so there wasn't much we could do to the devices).

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Never use the fastboot command: fastboot erase all - this will wipe essential partitions on the phone that cannot be recovered.

Messing around with different bootloaders can also cause serious issues. There is no obligation to upgrade bootloader.

Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery. After that there is no need to use fastboot again, unless for a major OS upgrade, such as Lollipop which also includes a new bootloader. I would not recommend moving to a recently released OS (bootloader) as that can affect compatibility with existing custom ROMs.

Learn what partitions are safe to play with and which are not. This can differ depending on the device.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobDiaz:
Some users say that they've bricked their phones just trying to downgrade the system.

Like lost101 said, if you do anything that messes with the partition table, you can get an irreversible soft brick.

If you try something that meses with the performance, like overclocking the processor or the GPU, you can get an hardbrick, truning your phone into a useless piece of plastic and metal, since you can damage your hardware (heat, excessive demand of the components).

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaguibia:
Hi everyone,

I have Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) with a hardware problem in the USB connection to PC. That is, when I connect it to any PC (with Kies or without Kies), I always get the (USB unrecognized) message and no it is not a USB debugging mode or MTP+ADB or any settings problem. It is a hardware problem and it is not also the USB port or the flex cable. It is something with the motherboard itself. In other words, the phone is perfectly fine except for the data exchange using USB.

My problem is that I want to root my device, and I also have Android 4.4.2 Kernel version: 3.4.39-1955999 and the Baseband version: N900XXUENG1. So, Towelroot doesn't work with this version of Kernel.

Now I need to know if there is any other way to root my device WITHOUT USB; either with an app, Wifi, or SD card. Can you please help me?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsy6:
Framaroot or Custom recovery

Use Framaroot Apk. Before that check on their website that your device is supported or not. If it is supported go for it. Otherwise download TWRP recovery Image file (*.img) for your device and install it using goo manager. After installation check if recovery has been installed or not. If it is successful than download Supersu.zip (google it) and flash it via recovery. You are done.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dash4g:
Hello there,

I have an issue with my nexus 7 (deb) whereby the USB port is able to charge, however it is unrecognizable in every computer I put it into (Windows 8, 8.1, 7, XP and even Ubuntu). I have even tried multiple micro-usb cords (about 4 different ones) with each OS.

I have come to terms with it not having any usb support, however... I am stuck in limbo on a half-working lollipop build with a 4.02 bootloader and Gapps not 'sticking' on reboot.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution of flashing a bootloader from recovery, as ADB or fastboot will not work.

Any help is much appreciated!

So I just picked up this vivo tab for $100 and it seems awesome, but I am curious what I can do with it now? I am use to android and rooting and stuff. Wondering what kind of cool stuff I can do with this. I don't know much about it, or even much of the difference between windows 8 and 8rt, other than you can't run many apps. Any advice would be awesome.
[Windows RT General] domboy:
Well, if it's still running RT 8.0 you can run the jailbreak:

This would allow you to run unsigned ARM compiled desktop applications, plus a few .NET 4.x apps that are cpu agnostic. List of them here.

If your device has been upgraded to RT 8.1 and you would like to revert back to RT 8.0 to run the jailbreak (no released jailbreak for 8.1 as yet) see this thread. It also includes instructions on what updates to hide so it won't prompt/automatically upgrade to 8.1 again. That guide is of course for the surface but downgrading the Asus should be similar, you'll just need the image for your model.

For me personally with my Surface RT there is nothing I have seen of 8.1 or the store apps that require it that is worth more than having the jailbreak so I've stuck with 8.0.
[Windows RT General] Nickdroid86:
Thanks for the info. It's all up to date, running 8.1. Sorry for being a noob in this area, what would unassigned ARM compiled desktop apps be? Like normal PC type apps?

Is there any way too load just normal 8.1 non rt?
[Windows RT General] Nickdroid86:
I figure if the Walmart nextbook 8 can run actual windows then why can't this one?
[Windows RT General] freakdavid19:
Because secure boot cannot be disabled on this device.
[Windows RT General] Nickdroid86:
That really sucks. And I'm sure it probably won't get Windows 10 either.
[Windows RT General] domboy:
No, it won't be getting Windows 10 either, but supposedly some update will be coming to provide some new features... haven't heard what those will be.

Sorry I missed your response... unsigned (not unassigned) means software without a digital signature. Out of the box Windows RT will only run desktop applications that have been signed by Microsoft, and the jailbreak changes that to allow unsigned applications/executable files to run. So yes, regular desktop programs that have been compiled for ARM, or .NET applications that are CPU agnostic. See the list I'd previously posted.
[Windows RT General] Nickdroid86:
We getting any kind of love with this major update on regular Windows software?
[Windows RT General] domboy:
I'm going to assume you're referring to the Windows RT Update 3. It's due out sometime in September, but so far we have very little official word on what it might contain.
[Windows RT General] Nickdroid86:
I haven't been keeping up with the RT software so I'm not sure what is out there. I got Windows 10 on my laptop. I know we won't get that on anything with rt but I heard we would get some of the Windows 10 features.

[Verizon LG G2] doublej713:
Coming from CloudyG3 with TWRP 2.7.0.0 can i just perform all the steps above or would it be better to restore to stock 26a first? Wipe system? Last time I went from CloudyG3 back to stock I lost knock on and had to restore it using your hiddenmenu apk. Any idea if I can expect something similar? Willing to be a bit of a guinea pig if you think I'll have a better than not chance for success.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
No need to...just follow the install directions above. The only reason you (or anyone) ever lost knock-on is because they had flashed a kernel (if it's included with the rom it's the same thing) that enabled knock code and consequently updated the touchscreen firmware. Knock code also has a framework component that LG/Verizon for whatever reason never included in their firmware...so when you came back to a vs980 stock rom you also lost knock-on due to the newer firmware not being compatible with that firmware. It's a simple as that. All that has EVER been needed to restore it is a simple 10 second procedure.

This firmware package DOES have framework support for knock-on, so I built my kernel to use it. If you switch back to a VS980 Stock rom after this, you'll need to do the touchfw update in one of the 4 different ways that have been detailed.

The bootstack is the same one I had posted for my 26A rom. I didn't/don't want to confuse people with having more than one bootstack zip for now while everyone transitions from loki to bump. That said, if you had just continued on to install the rom you would've noticed that the firmware zip installs the new/bumped 2.8.1.2. Just follow the steps and you'll be fine.
