[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpinesun:
Thanks already. I didn't realize I had to hold down the volume down button after it goes dark. It got me into twrp. I believe I should be good from here after I download a new rom to sideload. But to give you a run down, I was prepping the phone to sell it by wiping the data and installing the rom the guy said he wanted on it. When I was going thru the normal procedure to install the rom (wipe, flash, etc) that's when the phone started sticking on the logo screen. My assumption was that I downloaded a bad rom, so since then I've been trying to get back into twrp so I can load a new rom and finally was able to after you told me this. I'll report back if a new rom actually didn't help the situation. I only thought I wiped the OS because something similar happened with my Note when I was tinkering and that was the result.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you need any further help, please answer all the questions I previously asked.

Good luck.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpinesun:
So, it seems I'm still having the problem, even while trying to install cyanogen. Here are the answers to those questions...

1) bootloader unlocked?... YES

2) custom or stock recovery... TWRP

3) custom ROM?... It was a custom AOSP Rom

4) what hboot number?... 3.16.0.0000

5) s-on or s-off... S-OFF

6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?... It was erased

Any help you can give from this point would be awesome. Thanks again!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Failure to flash ROMs can often be solved with fastboot erase cache, then install TWRP by fastboot again. Update TWRP version, if you are using an outdated one.

Also, if you try to flash any ROMs based on Sense software beyond version 1.x (huge majority of them are past 1.x at this point) you will likely experience extremely long boot times (10 minutes or more) and broken WiFi due to outdated firmware. But CM should be okay.

It was erased, or you wiped it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpinesun:
Okay. Do you suggest trying an older sense rom to see if it works? The last time touched the phone was when I picked up my Note 4, so I will look for something that predates that.

As for the nandroid being erased, I can only assume it was my actions that caused it to be deleted, but I don't recall intentionally doing it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Sure, it couldn't hurt. With your current firmware, you will need a ROM based on 1.x software. There aren't a heck of a lot of those left. But there are a few. GoldenEye is one I can personally vouch for, since I was running it for a while back in the day:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705640

But I would definitely recommend just trying fastboot erase cache and re-install TWRP first. I've lost count how many times suggesting this simple fix has helped other users here on XDA, when ROMs fail to flash.

Fair enough. Just FYI, don't do a factory reset in bootloader (in the OS settings or recovery is OK). On modded phones this may cause the internal storage to become corrupted. Nandroids have sometimes been lost this way. This may or may not be what happened to you. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Also, there has been the occasional occurrence of internal storage being corrupted, possibly by TWRP. It may not even have been something you caused.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBNobody:
So... I can't tell if this is the dreaded "5GHz Network Drop Issue" or what, but I've noticed that my Nexus Player takes longer to load SPMC than my FireTV.

The NP has less RAM, but it has faster RAM and allegedly a better Atom processor than the AFTV's Qualcomm Snapdragon 600.

Is it because there isn't a separate build of SPMC for x86 processors?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBNobody:
I just tested it out... 20s for the NP to load, and 12s for the AFTV to load. I have the same plug-ins on both.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBNobody:
It turns out that it WAS the ARM package. When I switched to Kodi RC3, it boots up extremely fast.

I have the Nexus 7 2013. I check everyday for the 5.0 update and I still have got nothing. Is the OTA 5.0 update for the Nexus 7 even out yet or is it just side loading updates?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Telyx:
5.0.1 is already out. You can download and flash scrosler's rooted stock 5.0.1 ROM over 4.4.4 if you're still on that. Just update your bootloader first per the instructions in this thread:

Title says it all. a lady brought me her moto g and on the screen all it had was no command and the android with the triangle !. so i booted it in to the bootloader and installed a custom recovery. tried to mount the sd card so i could recover her data off of it and it failed to mount so i tried mounting /data and it wouldnt mount and it says /data directory doesnt exist. /system would mount and several others would mount. so my question is, is this phone f***ed or is there a way to restore the /data directory through fastboot flashing?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] girish_7:
Hey guys, I have Lollipop 5.0 on my Nexus 4 and just got the notification for 5.0.1. I'd like to update my phone to the latest version and then do a factory reset. I've already backed up all of my data that I need. However I've read on some forums that doing a factory reset with Lollipop automatically turns on Encryption on the device and this causes performance issues and slows down the phone. There is a way to factory reset and not to enable the encryption as well? Or is there no other option other than encrypting the phone? Can someone also explain how the encryption works? Does it decrypt the phone when you switch it on or when you unlock it from sleep and why does it cause performance issues?

Many thank.

Thanks for your reply, but I can't figure out how to restrict apps to that user (e.g. let that user open some of my dowloaded apps, but not all; hope you get it).

Searched a little, seems like I'm talking about 'Restricted Profile' option and, as I've read, this feauture isn't available on Lollipop for phones.

Anyway, can you give me any ideas?

I have the opportunity of being given an O2 XDA IIS. This was originally purchased in Hong Kong. I updated (via this site) with Windows 2005. My cell provider is FIDO (GSM).

When I put the sim card in the phone, I get the "invalid sim" message. I've used the unlocking software found on this forum, but I was told it was already unlocked already. Is it possible that this phone will not work for me no matter what because of conflicting technologies?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Skanin:
Hi.

Today my Z ultra turned off while on locked screen. When I try to turn it on it is not responding and it do not respond when I connect it to the charger. I have tried to hold the power button and both the volume up and down at the same time, and it came a vibration and the Sony logo showed and it turned off again. Now that won't work either. I also tried to hold power + volume up and power + volume down. Nothing happens. When I connect it to the computer, there are a sound on the computer who tells something is connected. The sound comes again and again, but the phone does not show up on the computer.. What can I do?

Os - Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4

Edit: I also tried the red button beside the sim-card slot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Try connecting it to a wall charger, then press the red reset button. leave it to charge for several hours
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Skanin:
I tried leaving it in the charger over the night with no success.. When I first connected it, the light turned red and the phone turned on, to the Cyanogenmod logo and turned off again.. Now it won't respond again..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The other thing to try is to see if it will enter flashmode or fastboot

Connect to PC

Hold the vol. up key

Press the hard reset button
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Skanin:
It won't enter either flashmode or fastbootmode :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I suspect that either the battery or it's controller are dead, can you get warranty on it? They may not take it with not stock firmware on it...

You could try the rubber band trick:

Setup flashtool to flash a FTF

Connect the phone like normal, but have a rubber band around the vol down key.

Leave for <insert_random_large_nubber_here> hours

It may just randomly flash.

The next suggestion is to buy a battery off ebay and replace it your self
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Skanin:
I have a warranty on the phone, although when the bootloader is unlocked it may be broken? Isn't it so? But I can try getting it fixed.. Thanks for your help :)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHaxe:
Battery Fix

This is an issue with battery calibration (or so I assume).

What you will need to do is:

Leave the phone for at least 36 hours. Make sure that you keep the phone turned on for as long as possible.

Once you have left it for 36 hours, connect the charger and charge for a whole 10 hours.

Then, turn on the phone and it will possibly show that the battery is at 100%. If not, you need to install an app called CurrentWidget: Battery Monitor. It is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget

This app will tell you the voltage/current stored in the battery. If the mAh of the battery is 3000 mAh when left charging for 10 hours, then you will need to do this:

Fully charge the battery with the phone for 5 hours and when the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn it off.

When your phone is off, plug it into the charger and let it charge to 100% again. The green LED light will indicate when this is done.

Next unplug the charger, turn on your phone and set the option to ensure that your screen doesn’t turn off, if you have this option. Then reconnect to the charger and wait for it to charge again to 100%.

Once loaded to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not load until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly. The screen setting can put back to normal again (meaning turn off after a certain amount of time).

Hope this helped!

Storage issue

Thanks for this awesome ROM. :D

Using this ROM for few hours now. And there is a very confusing issue here.

IN app storage

WHEN U SELECT SD CARD AS DEFAULT storage , apps gets installed in the internal storage

WHEN U SELECT PHONE STORAGE , it gets installed in phone storage

OUR EXTERNAL SD CARD IS NOT USED

AND SOME OF THE APP DOnt find DATA from the external SD card. like the music app preloaded in this rom SHOWS no songs although i have many songs in my EXTERNAL SD CARD.

so can u swap phone storage and SD card ??

i have partioned my MOBILE rom size in which 2.2 GB is now internal storage and 270MB is phone storage so this is very bad idea for me :(

This is one of the many reasons why before modifying anything you need to do a backup. Now unfortunately there is nothing available in terms of device support for this tablet. You can register and ask your question here

However, you will likely need to keep searching for the stock rom for this. Perhaps a good starting point would be to check the eom's site

Good luck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0nEr:
Hi, I just upgraded to Android 5.0.1 , and i noticed something different with my notifications.

Instead of just appearing at the top black bar, all my notifications started appearing with a large white background drop down from the top. (See the screenshot).

[IMG="Screenshot"]http://s18.postimg.org/5fpln1rfb/Screenshot_2014_12_18_22_31_10.png[/IMG]

This happens on both WhatsApp and Android Messenger App.

I changed it to Priority Interruption, but it also continued to appear.

Am i able to disable this, or revert to the old way of notification??

It seems like whoever is using my phone can now see all my messages as they come in.

Try that: Go to settings>Apps>tap on whatsapp and if there is a checkbox with "heads up", disable it.

I don't know if that works on stock but all custom roms I've tried so far had it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
With Android 5.0 Lollipop (and buried in 4.4 source code), Google introduced Heads Up notifications (what you're seeing), mainly for important notifications such as calls, emails and texts. There is a flag an app can add to a notification so it pops up with a Heads Up notification instead of only appearing in your status bar. WhatsApp and Messenger simply have the flag appended to the notifications because they assume your messages are important.

If a ROM has Slim's take on Heads Up merged in, one can force enable/disable Heads Up for specific apps instead of allowing the app developer to choose if they're important enough, which is why [MENTION=5892606]bm19981217[/MENTION] has that option.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm19981217:
[MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] Oh ok...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0nEr:
Hmmm.. but im using stock rom... 5.01 OTA update (sideloaded though).

I went to android settings --> Apps --> Whatsapp

but i didnt see any "heads up" check box. I only see "Show notifications".

Doesnt seem to be that option.

Can i download/install Slim's take on heads up separately? Is there such an app?

If not, i guess i can only wait for whatsapp to release an update.

Strange Issue - Device does not show "free space left" when installing apps. - help?

Bit of a strange one this, but can anyone shed any light.

With my other WM5 devices, a Vario, and a MDA Pro (Wizard and Universal), whenever I install applications to the device via the .cab file, I am asked where I want to install to, Device or Storage Card, and it shows the amount of memory required for this install, and the free storage remaining for that location, which obviously changes as you press the relevant radio button for Device or Storage Card.

However, as best I recall since day one of owning it, on my T Mobile Vario 2, whenever I install applications, it never shows me the free memory remaining bit, so I simply have to make a guess as to where to store it.

Is this a known bug for the Hermes with the standard T-Mobile ROM... or can other normal T- Mobile ROM users state that this behaviour does NOT occur for them, adn that it DOES show all the necessary information whilst installing...?

Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Shadamehr:
Ok, let me put it another way...

Can ANYONE tell me if on their Hermes based device, they DO get an indication how much free space is remaining, when they install an application...?

If so, what ROM/Operator...

Almost this entire forum has a Hermes, if you are reading this, likely...

If so, can you do me a quick favour and try this by going through the motions of installing an application, and see.

You don't even need to install the application (any application cab file will do to test this). Simply CANCEL the install, once you ascertain whether it does or doesn't show you how much free space you have, whilst it tells you how much room it will need.

Come on, help me out here - you all have Hermes' - is this just me with this issue...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
Well, just for you I re-syncd my pda and no, it doesn't tell me on my Vario II how much space I have left, only how much space the app will take up.

I don't think it ever has told me.

Hope that helps
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] PhonePhun:
On mine it shows spaced required and space available.

I think my sig shows what else I have.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Shadamehr:
Thanks both...

It sounds to me like it's a ROM issue then... Marissa, is yours T-Mobile or what?

Curious that the AKU 3.3 and thus possibly cooked rom (or the beta one that got released semi-officially), DOES work properly in showing the space required AND space remaining...

That's what makes me think it's a ROM issue...

So can anyone else contribute...?
