[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaarth:
Well I had TWRP recovery installed on my Brazilian Lollipop firmware (XT1033), and i clicked the fix permissions tab on TWRP.

Now apps can't write on the internal sd card. neither can i copy anything from my computer using USB.

Can't paste anything using ES explorer either.

Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

Hey guys,

Don't know if this has been posted here or not, but here is a tip for anyone using Vista and WMDC with the Toshiba or Widcomm Bluetooth stack, that have been unable to sync via bluetooth.

From HowardForums:

"If you are running the new Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista, and using the inbuilt Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, then syncing via bluetooth probably works fine for you. However if you are using the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (for example, to get A2DP profile support) then you need to do some work to get bluetooth synchronising working.

Firstly, on your host machine, open Regedit and navigate to:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services

and change the value from "Bluetooth" to your incoming bluetooth COM port. Normally this is COM7 if you are using v5 of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the Vista compatible version). Change the value to "COM7" (without the quotes). You will need to restart your machine.

Now pair your Windows Mobile device with your host machine. You should see the ActiveSync service listed. If you've previously paired your device, then you would have seen "Serial Port" listed as a service (which isn't enough to get ActiveSync working). Instead go into the properties of the bluetooth device and select "refresh" to get an updated list of services that your host PC is advertising. ActiveSync should now be an option. Select it. Now, when using ActiveSync on your WM device, Connect via Bluetooth should work just fine. "

Hopefully this helps a couple people out; it helped me out for sure.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thegatekeeper:
Toshiba Bluetooth stack + HTC Tytn WM6.1

Hello all,

in order to get your HTC working with Toshiba BT Stack do the following:

download the latest Toshiba BT drivers from www.toshiba-europe.com and also the latest Windows Mobile Device center.

Install Toshiba BT Stack

Reboot

Install Update to WMDC

Disable BT on both PDA and Laptop

Connect you HTC via USB (WMDC should popup now, if not goto control panel and run it)

configure you HTC in WMDC

disconnect USB cradle

check with Serial port is available (usually COM7) - goto control panel an run

"Bluetooth local port"

turn on BT on both ends

On the WMDC select you HTC and goto Settings->Connection Settings

Enable connection on BT serial port (usually COM7)

Now on your HTC goto BT settings and "add a new device"

Find your laptop connect with it (passkey and so on...), next goto advanced and enable activesync service

and that's it!

you don't need regedit and other tweakings i've seen on the net about.Trust me! If it's not working for you try to unistall any BT stack you have, reboot, a start a fresh install.

:)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matannagar:
Hi,

Im trying to restore Xperia Z1 original firmware (that can get updates from Sony) and I cant seem to succeed...

I have used flashtool but the software is just not right:

I can't use Wi-Fi, the sim is not working anymore (Im from Israel), everytime the phone get shut down - it asks me in what language do I want to use...

`I have tried using PC companion (Repair) also` but it tells me that my phone doesnt have an update.

I dont know what to do anymore

any advice?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sm.vassallo:
Just download a rom for your model z1 and use, 'Flashtool' to flash the image.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matannagar:
I did that.

The IMEI is gone. Nothing seems to work ...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sruba209:
its probably because the flash version is not compatible with the baseband. Try flashing an older version (for eg. .108 version : u can get it from mega ftf thread in general section) and then after the flash, pc companion should detect and install the latest update.

Just wanted to get some info for a friend in Poland - is the Nexus 6 selling in any retail electronics stores? If it is, where and how much approximately? If it is not yet, will it be anytime in Jan 2015 and where?

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. I know that there aren't many places actually selling the physical phone yet but I thought I'd ask anyway.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:

I don't think the phone is out in Poland yet and none of the retail stores here sell the global version. The only place is online as far as I know.

[Verizon LG G3] NegativeOne:
So I've had the phone for less than a week. I've performed the ioroot procedure and installed twrp. Other than that, the phone is stock right now - 10B. I've performed a backup.

My phone is offering to install 11C. I'd like to update to that version, but at a glance it seems like there may be issues if I ever need to downgrade, or.. I may lose root.

So, for our specific phone, the VS985 model, what is the best way to upgrade to the latest stock ROM and keep root / the ability to downgrade?

Sorry for the noob question, but I'm new to the phone and am seeing some conflicting information, probably due to variances between different versions of the phone. I just want to do this right the first time and avoid having to ask more dumb questions :)
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Look for the thread by bweN diorD in either General or Q&A that starts with [REF] and has img or images in the title.

Use the links in that thread to flash the 12b modem and system images, using autoprime's flash2Modem and flash2System zips (bweN links to that thread).

Your choice on whether you also want to flash the 12b boot image. I did flash the 11c boot, didn't bother with 12b.

After flashing the new images, anything you've tweaked in /system has to be re-nudged -- freezing verizon bloat, freezing "System updates..." (or renaming the /system/app LGDMSClient files), reinstalling the hotspot mod (if you need it). It's a pretty painless evolution.

(Definitely freeze System updates.... Once you've got twrp, if you try to install an OTA directly you'll get stuck in a boot-to-recovery problem. Autoprime has a flashable zip that wipes out the files causing the boot-to-recovery, I keep a copy of that zip loaded on my phone's user volume, but it's simpler to just not try to install an OTA.)
[Verizon LG G3] NegativeOne:
Wow. Okay. Thanks a lot. This is super helpful. I'm downloading as we speak. I hope you don't mind a followup question...

My understanding is that it is safer to avoid flashing the boot image because changes to the bootloader could affect root or the ability to roll back. Is there a reason you bothered flashing 11C?

For anyone else, the thread mentioned is: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
There is no downside to flashing it at this point, but I haven't seen proof there is any benefit either. I'm still on 10b running L ROMs no problem, so I don't see any point in updating anything but the modem.

[Verizon LG G3] NegativeOne:
Which rom are you using?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
Look down lol

Sent from my G3, rockin Illusion ;)
[Verizon LG G3] Schaweet:
You can root 10B and tell supersu to maintain root and take all the OTAs and still keep root. I did that so that I'd have VoLTE and I could take an OTA in the future without issue if it was shown root would survive. Your choice I guess, but we know root survives all the way to 12B so why not go the stock route to ensure you are fully updated? Just my thoughts anyway.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
im running android version 5.0.2, stock is whats not "fully updated" lol ;)
[Verizon LG G3] Schaweet:
Yeah we all could be as well. The issue is your camera is jacked and you lose things like multi window, ir remote, and quick memo writing.

I tried 5.0.x for a few days but the negatives weren't worth it to me. I am fully updated at 12B as I can still use the G3 with the stock goodies that were added by LG and not cripple the device by putting AOSP on it. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the look of AOSP, but one of the major reasons I got this phone was for the camera and without the 5.0.x roms including LG camera app with them, it's a no go for me. Google camera app just doesn't do it and laser focus is gone so pics are crap in my opinion.

Instead I use g3 tweaks and Nova to make my phone look more like AOSP. I'll wait for the devs to get ahold of 5.0.x for the g3 so we can still keep the g3 goodies before I update any further.

So, I'd say 12B is as fully updated as there is at this point. Just my opinion though.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
the camera doesnt stand up to stock, no doubt, but thats the only thing i wish could be better. the rest of that stuff i dont use.

it all depends on what you want/use/need.

i prefer custom roms the majority of the time.
[Verizon LG G3] Schaweet:
You're right for sure. It's all personal preference. I figure if the only thing that looks different from stock is the settings menu and not having the quick settings tiles, I'm close enough that I'm not bothered by all the LG colors and added stuff.

I'm waiting for the camera app to get ported then I'm all in on a custom 5.0.x rom. That may be a while, but I can wait.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
For anyone reading this, I just wanted to let them know that there is a ported version of Quick Remote that works under AOSP / CM including Lollipop. I think it's in the non-variant G3 sections.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] _LEM_:
Hi all,

My phone is using G900AUCU2AND3. It has been rooted and I also removed a lot of bloatware with Titanium Backup. Because of this, OTAs are failing.

I would like to flash the stock rom G900AUCU2AND3 again, so I can do that. However, I haven't been able to find it.

I only found G900AUCU1ANCE.

If I flash that ROM with ODIN, since that I'm downgrading, will I run into any issues?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] i root SGH i777:
the AND3 software is not out. if you have to fix a hard brick, bootloop or want a fresh start, you will need to downgrade to the ANCE firmware, flashing via odin.

Thanks. I will do that then.

This file, flashed via odin, will downgrade you to stock NCE ( minus the bootloader). Once on NCE you can take the ota update to the latest firmware, NG3:

The file from sammobile includes the NCE bootloader. Since you already updated the bootloader to ND3 you are unable to downgrade the BL back to NCE, hence my file minus the NCE BL.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Orito:
Are you able to open the Chromecast app and does it find your Chromecast? If the Chromecast app does not find it, it may be more of an issue with your Chromecast losing connection to your wireless network.

If Chromecast does not open, uninstall and reinstall the app from the Play Store.

If it still doesn't work after that, report back and we'll look deeper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] GReddySetGO:
Yes, the app finds my chromecast and I can connect to it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the chromecast app with no luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] johnan2112:
Don't you lose the second screen experience by doing that since you're basically just mirroring what's on your phone to the TV? One of the best things about Chromecast is that you cast the video to your TV, then you can use your phone as a second screen, like adding Youtube videos to a queue (a playlist of sorts).
