system wipe

I did one stupid thing in TWRP. Never do wipe -> advanced -> system. If you do, have a ROM ready of some kind and take heed to the warnings. This will delete your android system. The phone just sat there on the splash screen. Go into the bootloader (Volume down + Power) and this will load up TWRP not Volume up + power. I dunno why, but it worked for me.

I'm only saying this if you were the same situation as I was in.

Ascend Mate 2 [B148] Bought From WIND [CC]

I'm not sure If lollipop will be available for me cause I'm dying to get it and my Mate 2 is bought from WIND Mobile and it is Rooted, Bootloader unlocked and TWRP flashed. I'm wondering how I can make my phone into the stock Mate 2 such as the ones bought from Amazon or Get.Huawei.com.

Ascend Mate 2 [MT2-L03}

- Rooted + Bootloader Unlocked + TWRP Flashed

- Want to turn it into stock Mate 2 so I can get Lollipop 5.0 Update in July

- Not too sure if it already is in stock version

- Bought from WIND Mobile, guessing it's Consumer Cellular

Build: MT2-L03V100R001C00B148

PLEASE HELP?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
B148 is stock from my understanding.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Wind is not Consumer Cellular. They are each a cellular company.

There is currently a method to get the CC to stock. Not sure about the Wind but I think there is there, too. And, I'm pretty sure there will be a similar method to get them to Lollipop, once it's released.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mousamsh:
Thanks a lot you guys, found a few topics online, I permanently removed my root, flashed stock recovery, re-locked boot-loader. Now, I'll patiently wait for Lollipop, hopefully Huawei comes through with the update unlike the previous KitKat bull****

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisinger08:
Sounds like you may have wiped stock rom slot without installing a ROM afterwards...safestrap is just a workaround so you always have to have a ROM on stock slot...weird that a ROM slot is working ok though :eek:

Try restoring a backup to stock slot if you have one otherwise you might want to odin flash NC2 to get your system back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astra811:
when you say install a backup, is there a particular file that I need to install in the stock rom slot?

Whenever I try to put a rom in that slot, the device says "no os found"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisinger08:
I meant restore a backup from safestrap. Restore should be one of the options on the main screen in safestrap recovery. If you made a backup of stock slot before you wiped/flashed it try restoring that backup...otherwise you'll probably have to use Odin to reflash NC2

Hi guys,

First, thank you very much for all these up-to-date builds. :)

I've install Ubuntu Touch, the last Nightly, the last 2.2 and the last 2.1 (available on your site) with MultiROM on my Nexus 5. Unfortunately, all FirefoxOS installations have the same problem : my SIM card is not detected. :( Neither Ubuntu Phone nor Android 5 have this issue. Does anyone already seen that ? Any clue on how to fix that problem ? I'm also French with "Free" French network, in case that could help.

screenshot and phone answering?

Hello,

I installed FFOS3.0, the same nightly build, on two nexus 5, one for me, one for my mum.

Two questions : once, my mum took a screenshot of an app, but she can't remember how, and I didn't manage so far to take any with my nexus.

How do you take a screenshot with FFOS 3.0 on your nexus 5?

[Then, don't ask me how is that possible but the way we both answer a phone call is different. I just have to click on on of the two buttons, a red on the left and a green a green on the right to decline or answer the call. She has to slide a button to left (red) or right (green) to do the same. How to choose if you want two buttons and click or one button to slide?]

I found the solution : if I switch on the developer mode, I have the two buttons but if I'm not in developper mode, I have the switching button.

Thank you,

A bigger firefox when the phone start?

Hello,

It's not a big deal but, at the starting of the phone, could the nice animated firefox be a bit bigger?

I like my firefox but I can't see him enough.

"Based on Mozilla Technology" is at a good size, but the animated firefox is way too small. If it could take all the screen, it woud be great! Don't you think?

Finally I'm using this Rom!

Basically it's cool but you know it has a long way to get much more stable & usable.

First of all I agree with that guy who suggested big Firefox animated on the boot screen.

Then I know this a new & fresh project but it needs more debugging.

For example at the first when I was trying to connect to ma WiFi after I touched the join button it takes more than 5mins to join ma network!

After that I downloaded some apps from store like Telegram, when I was trying to filled the blanks with ma phone number touchscreen didn't works & I already can't login with ma number cuz jumping from one blank to another blanks for registration has bug & I can't fill them!

In settings we've lots of problems,I can't manually change ma screen brightness from that swipe bar of it so I've to tick the auto brightness!

& also have a same problem in any swipe bars in menu like volume & alarms up & down when i touch them nothing changes!

Sometimes ma phone crash (stopped working) on menu & some apps like browser & I've to wait for response to continue ma job!

______________

There is more you know but I didn't remember all :D !

I really like this OS & in future hope so use this OS as ma major Rom on ma N5!

PLEASE WORK ON IT!!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thatoo:
Update?

Is it still true?

How is it possible to update today? FFOS 2.1? 2.2? 3.0?

Is it possible to do it without losing data? How to make a backup if needed?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
Hi everyone,

[MENTION=6529645]Thatoo[/MENTION], for updates your FFOS rom: you just need to install the *.zip rom via recovery. The new rom will be installed without lose your datas. (You could also flash recovery.img (and only this one) via fastboot).

I advice you to try 2.2 rom, it's the best balance between stability and features ;).

Guys, if you want to try FFOS without installing on your phone it's possible easily through Firefox on desktop (no risks at all):

-go to the Firefox menu;

-"Developpment";

-"WebIDE";

-"select envirronment";

-"Install simulator";

-choose the FFOS version you want to try; 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 (you can install all versions you want).

You will be able to check differences between versions easily (not so much at the moment, but it will come I guess).

To finish, I don't know when the 3.0 rom will be move to aurora branch.

Edit: Regarding to the boot animation, yes, it's small at the moment. This boot animation is add to the rom during compilation (I mean, it's not by default). It comes from the community build for the ZTE Open C, which as a lower resolution then the n5. I guess it is the problem and this boot animation have to be re-done for hi-res.

I would like to report it but I have forgotten :).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thatoo:
Thank you so much eyoome, it's very clear now!

I think I'll replace the 3.0 by 2.2 then, and I might try the unstable version 3.0 and futures using Firefox on desktop.

That would be great if you could report the animation, it would look so much nicer when starting the phone :)

Finally, any idea about screenshots?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
We will try to correct it, but no promise! :)

For screenshots, I don't know. Previously, it was possible pushing power + low volume, it seems it's no longer like that....

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thatoo:
Yeah, I've seen it, that's great! Thank you eyoome. Now, I'm puzzled, I'm hesitating to keep going with the 3.0 :o

You are right about screenshot. It is power and volume down pushed together, but you have to hold it a bit, not just a click.

And to obtain a log, you maintain volume up and down together, not power.

I'll wait few more days, after the 22nd of June, to see what mozilla decide about beta, aurora, 2.2 and 3.0 version, and then I'll decide what I'll finally install on my mother and my nexus 5 as dailylife version. So far I'm impressed, the beta FFOS3.0 is working well on our phones, can't complain (missing some features but it has nothing to do with vosky's job, FFOS is still young that's it :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyoome:
Indeed, you can flash just system.img to update and it would work.

I talked about .zip rom because you don't need a PC to flash it (just paid attention to your datas :) ), and flash it via recovery.

.zip rom would be under /sdcard/0/downloads/.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintChipMadness:
I am sure it is not necessary to flash boot, recovery, and cache but I figured I would do it just in case they needed to be updated. Regarding the zip, for some reason it didn't work for me in the past. It was probably a TWRP issue. I should probably try it again with clockworkmod. I am fine updating with the computer for now though.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_fitter:
I have! Unfortunately I don't possess the coding skills to really do anything with these. I did play around and made my first quick little theme, looked at the customizer, and also played around a bit with the webmaker. These tools are fantastic for anyone with the skills to use them. Unfortunately, I only have limited skills (VERY limited, lol) in Java, and I have edited some things here and there to compile kernels and roms/OSs. I will continue to play around though, because this is possibly the coolest set of features I've seen on a mobile OS. The addition of these types of features are really going to help the popularity of FFOS :)

For example, I have a few ideas for some changes I'd like to see in a couple of apps, but when I open the customizer and open the browser....well, it might as well be written in Swahili, lol.

Question regarding spark

[MENTION=6797107]drs.[/MENTION] I have a question/request. One of the ideas that I would like to implement (but don't know how) is to add a couple things to the browser. 1) Add a tab so the user can see all open windows in the browser, and 2) Add a tab in the screen that shows all of the open windows that allows the user to open up a new tab, regular or incognito.

Being as I am not a strong coder (especially with HTML), could there be a way to add some sort of tutorial in the costumizer app? The reason I ask is because there are a lot of folks out there who have some pretty brilliant ideas, but know nothing about coding (like myself, lol). I think this would really broaden the amount of users, and also Hackerplace would blow up! I know this may not be the ideal scenario, but it would definitely bring attention to the FFOS platform by many users who LOVE to customize their devices. After all, this is the sole reason ROMs like CM are so popular.....customization and freedom. ,

If you have a backup made, you can flash this build and immediately do the factory reset to enable developer settings, then boot into your recovery and restore your data. It hasn't caused me any issues so far. It restored all of my downloaded apps and what not.
