[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anand_d:
Hello everyone,

N7000, rooted, on stock 4.1.2

In my EFS folder (which is already backed up), I find nv_data.bin, nv_data.bak and nv_core.bak, alongwith their corresponding md5 files.

The only problem with my phone is a dead gps. After much googling and trying out different hardware/software solutions, I am convinced the nv_data file might be the cause.

I compared the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak files (both 2mb each) on a windows machine and find a lot of differences. Also, the .bak is dated 01/01/2012, while the .bin carries the current date.

So, would it be safe to try out the .bak file by renaming it to nv_data.bin? I can always go back to the original, right?

Also, the 3rd file I mentioned, nv_core.bay (also dated 01/01/2012) is just 1 mb in size. What exactly is its purpose?

Thanks for any advice, I'm very eager to get the gps working and I love my phone!

It appears Google has once again started limiting the number of devices All Access users can deauthorize on an annual basis. This is definitely a problem for us Flashaholics. I searched to see if there was an announcement. I see nothing listed, but I was personally denied removing any devices. Google states I've deauthorized too many devices. I'd hate to go searching for a new music service, but it looks like I have no choice. Your thoughts?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jimyv:
have you

tried using titanium backup pro to revert android ID?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
I thought this had been announced a while ago and the limit was 4 times a year or something like that? I remember reading about this before though. Although my understand was that was the limit of deactivating ALL devices and not the individual devices which I thought that was still unlimited. Might have to look around again for that so I can make sure :(

Edit: I had misread. Here's an article I found from android central http://m.androidcentral.com/google-play-music-now-limits-you-4-mobile-device-deauthorizations-year
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
I remember the announcement back in August. Shortly after, it was reported Google decided not to implement this policy. Now it appears they decided to enforce their earlier decision.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kbrn:
I used to use Google Play Music just cause I was able to upload my own mp3's, had the same problem of not being able to delete devices...

That's why Spotify is my poison of choice and haven't looked back ever since.. they have about every song I like and more.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Does Spotify allow all my music that I already have downloaded?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kbrn:
I don't have local music stored on my phone.. the downloaded music I have is a few playlists off of spotify for when I'm on a plane and since you can't have your cellphone radios on and even if you could there's no signal..

So I don't know, but I doubt it works as a music player for your local music files..

there's really no need to (unless you have limited data or listening to music on a plane)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
I almost jumped to Spotify, until I read that only one mobile device can be connected at the same time. If one device is connected, and another starts using Spotify, the first device will pause. I can see my 2 teenage daughters getting frustrated trying to figure out why the service keeps pausing. Lol.

Google allows all trusted devices to play at the same time. I'm set for now. Google reset the account for me. This gives me time to research some options.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] madsquabbles:
i had a very screwy incident when i tried to deactivate two devices - i ended up getting two notices that i cancelled my service. i did get to reactivate at the 7.99 price though and got it confirmed that deactivation are not per calendar year, but each deactivation is freed up after 12 months.

i've got my m8 listed twice - once for the GPE rom and the other for the sense ROM. anyone know if there are any problems restoring an ID across different OS versions?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] squeedps:
Spotify will sync across all devices on the same account. So it's not useful for a family on one account. It's great for an individual person though. I've had music playing on my PC, opened the app on my phone and changed the song from a different room entirely. Same thing works with my tablet. I was streaming a playlist during a BBQ had a friend complain he didn't like the song but didn't want to get out of the chair to change it. I grabbed my phone and handled it.... like a boss.

But yeah, family plan is not possible with Spotify.

[MENTION=4110385]mjs2011[/MENTION] You can use your local music as well. The only stipulation to that is that you have to have a paid account. You can all your own music plus Spotify music to a playlist on the PC, open the app on your phone and set it to be available offline and Spotify will download all the music from them and your own PC to your phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Slacker101:
Could just be me, but as long as I removed the devices from inside the mobile app it lets me remove as many as I want. If I try through chrome on my desktop or laptop it tells me I have run out of deactivations. Really strange, but I'll take it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] madsquabbles:
one of my deactivations was via the web for a phantom tablet (listed twice for rom flashing), the other was via the device that i decided i won't use play music for any more. i got two notifications of cancellation of service and verified on phone that i only had 1 cancellation left until oct this year. maybe there was just a bug on that day.

my m8 is listed twice and my gn10.1 twice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
I am cannot listen to my music anymore... :( Turns out I have already reached the limit for 4 devices every year. Feels like Google is screwing me. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have already tried this tip Cnet (unable to post link since I am kind of new too XDA), but in my country there are only tech support via email (the other one was with phone call) which I have yet to recieve a response). Any suggestions? :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] madsquabbles:
it's sad that google passed the blame on to the music providers for having to implement this, but it's their fault for implementing it so ****ty. even amazon's deactivation is better than this crap.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
Check out this thread. I started using this app recently. This app will backup & restore your device ID. I've flashed many roms since I came across this app. It works as advertised, and doesn't add to my device count in GPMAA.

Here's what I do. Make sure you backup your current rom first. It's just good practice.

1. Download and install app.

2. Run app and backup your device ID.

3. Copy the folder to your SD card. This is so you'll have a copy should you format your internal storage.

4. After flashing your rom and downloading all your apps. Copy the folder to your internal storage. Do not open GPMAA.

5. Run app and restore your previous ID.

6. Profit.

Like I said, I flashed several rom and haven't had any devices added to my list. Worst case you can call Google and nicely ask them to reset your device list.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Thank you so much for your answer! I was finally able to get in contact with Google and they reset my device list :)

But I will test out your tip next time I am flashing and testing out a new ROM! Don't want to experience this again...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I do this routinely with tibu as part of my flashing process and have never had a problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SirBerrington:
IIRC it uses the same ID for your phone no matter what rom you are on

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeustopher:
I'm trying to apply the 5.0.2 OTA on my wife's Nexus 7. When I try and sideload the OTA, I get this message:

"/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unexpected content

It was rooted previously so inside Super SU, I used the 'full unroot' option then tried to apply the OTA again. Same results. I also made sure to reflash the stock recovery in case that had anything to do with it (I was using WUG toolkit which was booting into stock recovery, but just in case...). Same results.

I've seen other reports of applying just the system.img file from inside the factory image. (Here and Here)

Is that a solution that would work for me? Is anyone else having this same issue and has a solution for it?

I could do a factory reset, but thats sortof a pain in the butt I'd like to avoid if I can...

Thanks,

Zeustopher
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
I've always used fastboot to flash boot, recovery and system then adb sideloaded the update zip and never had an issue nor have I ever lost data.

Looks like you definitely need to flash system since that's the error you're getting. It takes seconds so why not do it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WraithTDK:
Same issue. Worked for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
Pretty sure it is because 5.0 checks the entire system partition rather than pieces, so simply being rooted will cause to fail because there will be a mismatch. Pretty sure if you go the OTA root, you have to flash back to stock and unroot before you can update without failing. I would just flash the images directly in NRT or using ADB, and you should be fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qqhorus:
I followed this method and it worked like a charm for me.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2psomc/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flemlion13:
Manual option

I flashed the boot.img and system.img matching the current version on our tablets (extracted from the factory image) and after that the OTA update works.

Made a backup just in case, but did not need it as all settings and data were preserved.

I'm guessing the return to stock does something similar (maybe a couple of things extra)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DATAdroid:
My tab 4 won't root and it is really annoying because I'm doing every thing right according to instructions. I tried vroot, Odin, towel root, key root, and more. Nothing worked. I did the key root app and pc version. Both say root failed every time. I tried towel root, my device wasnt supported. Key root failed, I don't speak Chinese so I don't know why it did. Odin was going text book until I got to the recovery mode part. R recovery mode did not have a root option even though I put the flash zip in my storage. What do I do? I really want to root, but nothing works on my device. I have the WiFi only version of the tab 4 and it has android 4.4.2.

:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakenthor:
What model do you have?

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

And do you have recovery already installed?

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

When you are in twerp recovery home screen tap install which brings up a file menu. Go to internal SD card if it is where you have the .zip or ext SD if its in the external card then tap on it to select then swipe to install. Should work on the first try then reboot to system and update SuperSU and the binaries and get stericsson's busybox too to install. Hope this helps you!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DATAdroid:
Root

I have a t230nu version of the tab 4. Here is exactly what I did with odin:

I got the latest version of Odin and turn. Also I got a zip file I needed to flash. I forgot the name.

Then I put the tab in download mode.

I flashed twrp through Odin AP and it worked, it said on Odin "RESET" and rebooted my tab.

Then I put the zip in my tab storage and went into recovery. It went into recovery mode, but had no root or flash option. That's where my problem arose. What did I do wrong?

I followed a video on YouTube by a user called Dylan Mcflurrie. I would post the link, but I'm brand new and can't.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DATAdroid:
I just went into recovery. All I see is stuff like:

Reboot

Apply update from external storage

Some thing about adb

Wipe system

Something about the cache

I see no Install things, I tried to see what the external storage thing was, but if required me to have a micro SD. Also I doubt that was what I needed.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
When you ask a question, provide all information, "i don't remember" is useless.

reflash your recovery through Odin.

BEFORE you click start, UNCHECK auto restart/reboot,

wait for RES-OK message, then wait a few seconds more,

disconnect your tab and use the button combo to force reboot to recovery.

That should defeat the automatic re-installation of the tab's stock recovery.

Make a full backup and THEN flash your rooting file [supersu update zip[find it.]]

m
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DATAdroid:
It worked!

Thanks guys for your help! Especially moonbutt! No where does it say to disable auto reset and it says to keep it on, but your method worked, so thanks dude!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimmen:
I have two concerns with my Nexus 10

1.

Wifi is extremely unreliable and often slow, buffers youtube etc much more than the Nexus 7 and Nexus 5 I own,

Sometimes it seems to hardly work at all, but when I measure the speed I will still get 24-30 Mbps which I pay for at home.

2.

It is laggy!

When I bought it used with 4.4 it worked and was quick and snappy, but after a while it became slow, now with Android 5.0 (5.0.1) is the same show, has just installed a few apps but still laggig and tenacious when I use it.

Nexus 5 and 7 with the same Launcher (nova) floats on the extremely well, has done all the small optimizations with animation speed, etc. I could find, but still not great fluency.

Apparently need SIM unlock, however I read about "Region Lock" so it has to be "activated on AT&T first prior to SIM unlocking".

It has AT&T SIM card so when turning on it finds network even though I have no service.

Does it have to stay on AT&T network for a certain period of time with valid SIM card prior to SIM unlocking?
