[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fingolfin14:
I'm having the same problem. Only this phone was dropped by my friend on its top left corner and hasn't booted since then.

I successfully flashed the stock NAE tar through Odin last night but it still won't boot. I also cannot boot into recovery. It simply vibrates but nothing shows up on the screen at all. I can only boot into download mode intermittently.

Can't figure out why it would flash but not boot.

This is for STANDARD Recovery - How do I reset my device?

In the unlikely event that your device becomes unresponsive, frozen, blank or black screen, or will not respond to the power button, you can perform a force restart or reboot on the device by following the steps below.

Press and hold the Power button for 7 - 10 seconds, the device will restart and go through the boot-up sequence.

Notes:

The forced restart or reboot will not delete any Data on your phone.

If completing the 7-10 second Reset does not recover normal functionality of the device, then press and hold the Power Button for a full 120 seconds while connected to a charger.

Factory Data Reset is a tool used to remove everything that was imported, added or installed on the device. Keep in mind, when using this feature everything is deleted.

To reset your device:

1. Touch Image

2. Touch Settings

3. Touch Backup & reset

4. Touch Factory Data Reset

5. Touch Reset Phone

External Reset

If you are unable to access the phone's menu to perform the standard reset you can attempt an external factory reset.

Notes:

When using this feature; everything is deleted from the device.

Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.

1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.

2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS

Team Win Recovery Project 2.6, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

This recovery device is called "zara" and will work with cm-12.0. This recovery does not require you to be on KK firmware. It supports vold name mapping.

I included stock recovery images for display off mode charging percentage with display. This is buggy on TWRP because it splashes to TWRP then back to charge animation. Happens on several HTC devices.
[HTC Desire 601] Flyhalf205:
What's new in 2.8.4.0:

MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that

Add flashing of boot and recovery images via the TWRP GUI (Find the Images button on the Install page)

Fix some MTP related crashes and bugs

Eliminate TWRP toggling USB IDs during boot if MTP is enabled

Fix various adb sideload issues

Improve threading of actions

Eliminate separate thread for screen timeout

Update libblkid to 2.25.0

Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation

Add mutex locking to data manager

Improve custom theme handling on encrypted devices

Allow the stock theme to be offset by build flags so we can center a lower res theme on a higher res screen especially for watches with round screens
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
It's a good start on a recovery, and nice to see official support.

Couple of things:

TWRP website shows it as "Desure" not Desire

if this is for GSM (as labeled on the site) the label should also show zara_ul, not just zara - or it should show as both GSM/CDMA

The font in console view is too large (compared to original)

When you click on "Advanced" the console opens instead of the actual advanced options.

Was nice to see UMS toggle enabled and working. If I could enable that on mine without recompiling (since I don't compile them) I would totally do that. Also, I didn't realize vold name mapping would work since the device doesn't have a "by-name" folder when you browse the tree manually from OS. But with the console font fixed and the advanced options working it'll be a great recovery.
[HTC Desire 601] Flyhalf205:
Typo on teamwin on their website

The codename for this device is zara and the recovery will stay zara and not zara_ul(which is the bootloader name)

can you post a screenshot of too large font?

Advanced is working just fine for others.
[HTC Desire 601] bunyan69:
I have installed this recovery on my phone and it seems ok until I turn off the phone and plug it in to charge. Once I do this the phone will boot into recovery to charge and after a short time the TWRP lock screen will come up. At this point and I can't swipe to unlock it. My only option is to pull the battery.
[HTC Desire 601] ct760ster:
Sub menus icons unrresponsible

Only main menu icon respond to touch. For some reason sub menus doesn't respond to touch including lock screen.

Also no need to pull out battery, just hold power and volume up and it will reboot a moment.
[HTC Desire 601] bunyan69:
Unresponsive buttons

Just installed 2.8.5.0 on my ZARA_UL and I am having the same issues as ct760ster.
[HTC Desire 601] Flyhalf205:
So what about the previous versions?
[HTC Desire 601] bunyan69:
I used Duir's versions previously and had no issues.
[HTC Desire 601] ct760ster:
Previous version work without flaws

I just tested the previous TWRP 2.8.4 zara_CL and worked without flaw, just flashed an experimental CM12, for some reason it flash very fast, and after reboot leave you waiting in a blank screen but don't panic, after about a minute or so the CM mascot bootscreen come forward and that is sign that everything worked as intended. :good:

As an hint, the recovery has it's own kernel, each one customize to the specific variants of the zara. For zara_CL users just flash the only one available 2.8.4. I think my previous experiences was because my wrong belief that the recovery was interchangeable between the zara_UL and zara_CL, NO IT'S NOT. Avoid headaches by flashing the wrong version, each one to it's own ;)

Dont know if this has been done already but i own the spvm700 (orange branded trinity) and would like ot know if anyone can tell me how to assign an mp3 as a message tone for incoming sms's?
[P3600 General] cs_e2:
it only works with wav files and you have to copy them in the windows folder...
[P3600 General] fluke:
...or you can use a program like phonealarm and put the sounds in the memory card root (for space saving) or in the windows folder and then you can use the mp3, choose them in the phonealarm options.

There may be other programs for rings only that probably to the same, but since i find the phonealarm a good complement to the phone function i recomend it.

Cheers

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TetsuNoKobushi:
Hi all,

After spending 3 years on the iOS side after departing from my S2 and Sensation XE, I've finally decided to come back to the Green side and see how this works out for me. Naturally, I still have a bad aftertaste of the Samsung phones, and seeing as the Nexus phones now have flagship specs, I might as well go for the Nexus. So I did, and I'm the proud owner of a 64 GB Midnight Blue Nexus 6. However, I've grown quite accustomed to some things on iOS for which I still need help after swapping over to Android, and I hope I won't get shot down immediately for this. Very well then, off to my shot in the dark and list my questions:

1. Battery percentage. I cannot seem to find an option to enable this anywhere in the system. Is this a feature missing from stock Android?

2. Swiping to navigate back and forward doesn't seem to be in the browser. Any way to enable this?

3. Is there a function to avoid popups from showing on top of my screen while playing games? I play a lot of rhythm games and the pop ups mess my rhythm up. I tried the None option, but it still allowed notifications to get through.

4. Is there a way to allow YouTube videos to play in the background? Or even with the screen locked?

5. There seems to be some considerable lag while moving through the UI as well as in games and such. Is this due to the encryption?

Now onto some other kind of questions which most likely will be answered by doing my own research (which I will be doing, but might as well ask them here while I investigate in hopes of finding even quicker answers. As I find out about them, I'll either add in the answers to the questions or remove the questions entirely to avoid people getting annoyed at me.)

6. If encryption is causing the lag in my games as well as UI (Compared to my old i6+), will decrypting the device improve much? If yes, is there a quick and easy way to do so?

7. Has rooting become easier and with less risks of the user F-ing it up?

8. I vaguely remember custom ROMs as well as Kernels, and I've been reading up a bit. Are there any bug free 5.0.2 Roms/Kernels out yet? Specifically looking for performance increases with less battery drain.

9. CMRecovery it was called back in the day I believe. Is this still around to save me from massive F-ups?

10. Is the utility ODIN still required to flash Roms? I remember it as being a terribly counter-intuitive application to use.

11. Is CyanogenMod supporting the Nexus 6 officially? If not, any plans for it?

Well, those are it for now. Don't hate me, please! I will start my research after posting this. Just thought I'd try and hit 2 birds with one rock, cutting down the overall time.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TetsuNoKobushi:
1. Oh. The double finger drag does show it. No way to show it permanently without having to drag it down aside from installing an app?

2. Any other browsers you know of which do support it?

3. I don't want to disable them permanently. I'm looking for some kind of Do not Disturb mode which I can toggle on and off.

4. Hmm, annoying. But I guess I can live without it for now.

5. I found a topic describing the same issues. Might as well try and decrypt. People seem to have good results from it, at least in the UI.

6. Aaand that is the exact topic I found at question 5, haha.

7. Thank god. I read about this ChainFire AutoRoot tool. Is this the way to go now?

8. Much appreciated. Once I figure out which order to do everything in I'll check that out. Any recommendations for a 5.0.2 Rom?

9. An all-in-one tool, perfect for an idiot like me.

10. Right, no wonder it's counter-intuitive. Sorry for the hate on Samsung, my experience just hasn't been the best regarding the brand.

11. So no official support yet. Hmm, I guess I'll avoid custom CM roms then for now.

It helped a tremendous amount! I really appreciate it!

I only seem to have the basic YouTube app provided by Lollipop itself. Is that removable? If so, I'd gladly use one you could provide me. I'm not looking for an amazing list of features, but it would be nice if it adhered to the Material Design as well. But if it doesn't, no big deal either.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
If you feel comfortable flash Liquid Smooth ROM and root your phone. It provides the best of all world's for smoothness and features. I've been using LS for a while and its great. You can enable many different styles of battery icons with % inside or outside the batter icon. You can also have the % battery in the icon via an app if you search the play store. You can uninstall the app once its enabled.

Rooting doesn't cause issues, its what you Dow with root that can potentially cause issues. Since this is a Nexus you can easily fix a bootloop should you get one somehow.

AOSP browser has a similar swiping method for the browser but it uses pie controls which in my opinion is better.

YouTube can play in the background, I use this frequently and even with the screen off from what I remember.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TetsuNoKobushi:
As for installing a custom ROM, I was planning on following this video:

How to Root the Nexus 6 & Flash a Custom ROM: youtu be/v0Dh52Swsac (can't post links yet it seems)

It seems quite idiot proof as there is a step for step guide to walk me through the process. Would you advise me to follow this videos steps?

I cannot find the AOSP browser on my device for some reason, do I need to install it still?

I've been trying to get YouTube to play in the background, but so far I've been unsuccessful, could you perhaps direct me to the setting to allow it?

I greatly appreciate your help!

Preliminary Note: to Faria and others – please don’t take this email as a criticism of your work.

I assure you It is not. I also want to thank Faria and all the chefs – I learn a lot dissecting their great work.

Since the leak of the so called Orwells1984 WM6 beta ROM for the Wizard, a lot of home-cooked WM6 ROMs have appeared.

I tried to make clarity for myself across the different version and started doing file comparison… at the binary level

(date don't help and a lot of cooks are tempering with ROM version numbers, so that is the only way to figure differences)!

One of the many comparison I’ve done and I would like to report here is the content of the IMGFS partition of WM6’s ROMs,

namely the Orwells’1984 original leaked rom and Faria’s latest WM6 ROM named “faria-htc wizard...WWE WM6 ROM- [the real thing]”.

My findings are really surprising as a binary comparison shows that Orwells’s1984 and Faria’s WM6 share 1094 identical files.

Only 31 files present in both ROMs are different (among these are the usual suspects like initflash.dat, system.hv, user.hv,

the CommManager and a bunch of package files). The attached .ZIP file contains the detailed comparison reports for more information.

Of course, they are play more files added by Faria, that makes this ROM his very own custom ROM,

he tuned the registry settings for stability and performance, re-organized the icons, branded the ROM with his name, etc.

added no less than 403 files and removed 59 files from Orwells'1984...

... but the fact that his ROM is based on Orwells'1984 ROM like all other Wizard WM6 ROMs remains.

I used the IMGFS tools and a file comparison tool to establish these facts.

I can post the methodology on this forum if people are interested and are willing to look in these details.

What are the other functional differences?

His Point

I believe his point is that all the wm6 rom's out there is from Orwells’s1984. I think I remember faria's mentioning his wm6 cook rom is the real thing, not from Orwells’s1984 beta rom. Maybe he's trying to point that out. Interesting facts thou, love this forum.

Right now, I believe there is only 3 sources of original wm6 rom that cooks use , one is from Orwells’s1984, The First Chinese version of wm6 that surface dunno if this was from Orwells’s1984. And last would be the one from Mun that was extracted from Herms. Oh didn't see the eariler post so guess it goes back even more ..haha.

Well, i for one cant believe you called out one of the few, and i do stress that word, few people who are even writing these roms. I for one have spent 2 weeks of my own time working on the Vanilla rom ported from mUn's release. Which by the way is in beta test and will be hopefully released within a week or so depending on the feed back it gets. At this point, Im not even sure i want to release it publically with someone who has only 16 posts to his name. Why not try and write your own rom and make it a public release, then you will see how much time and effort goes into it. much less, the issues that everyone if quick to point out and you are expected to fix. even the ones that are M$ issues that you wont be able to fix until they release to our phones. Im not about to release this rom if people like this are going to just try and point out the fact that he didnt write the OS, which is next to impossible plus, if he had written WM6 from scratch, it wouldnt be WM6. Give it a rest and just enjoy the fact that you have a life and arent willing to spend 2 weeks doing one of the things that very few are doing. If you think you can do it better, be my guest.
