[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebgershon:
Hi again Robbie,

I have good news and bad!!

I managed to eventually get the Paragon software to recognise the ext4 partition on my new laptop. What's odd is that the ext4 partition is listed under the name of the c drive. I then unmount and remount the ext4 with a new drive letter and I can then read/write. So having managed to mount, I was able to copy off all the files from the FAT32 & ext4 partitions to my hard disk. That's the end of the good bit.

As its 3 years since I did the last Jellybean install, I'd forgotten what to do and kept seeing posts about magldr and custom radio roms. I tried to boot into magldr on the phone while doing the sd card backups but it wouldn't go into it. I had assumed I must have installed it when I did the original SD rom install and I then wrongly assumed I needed to reinstall the HSPL4 and custom radio roms to get it on again. The former was ok but the latter caused the phone to hang on reboot at the HTC logo. At this point I went to the bootloader screen but after having the 4 colour screen I then got the white screen with blue writing for updating the rom from an sd card (there must have been an unzipped rom on the card). I mistakenly hit the install rom button and this erased all the phone's data before I'd had chance to use SD Backup, a programme I hadn't bothered using since long before I converted to Android.

I then looked back in my old bookmarks and came across a facebook guide to the Native SD installation which didn't mention magldr at all and it was at this point that I realised I'd not previously loaded it on the phone, although I did eventually manage to get it on after downgrading the HSPL to 2.08 and successfully flashing the custom radio only to be permanently booting into magldr-so I again reflashed the stock rom to get rid of it! What a waste of time!!

Having backed up the sd card partitions, I erased the partitions and made a new ext4 of 3gb and copied back the files to both partitions. I tried to boot the haret in the native SD folder but the phone hung at the HTC logo and then rebooted itself back into windows. I tried installing the jelly bean rom as an update using ext4 recovery but no joy. I tried wiping the ext4 partition and reformatting with EXT4 recovery then installing the rom as a new install which then booted into Android ok after which I overwrote the ext4 files with the previously saved ones. Now I get a boot into the CyanogenMod screen but no further even after waiting 30 mins. I also tried using NAtiveSD onetouch recovery to try and make a backcup of the old system and then restore over the new install (but not the boot files) but again I just get the hung CyanogenMod screen.

So do you have any idea of how I might get a successful boot with my old data? Perhaps I'm missing something else in the overwrite/restore process but I can't see what.

Any further help would be grateful-perhaps you have forum contact who might be able to help as well.

TIA,

Hello everyone

It's been a while since I have had a problem with a device that I repair but unfortunately it has happened again today.

Today at 5 pm a friend of mine came by with his xperia z to replace the screen. I first run through the tutorial and see whether I came across something I do not know. Then I just started the repair and took my time to complete it. I finished at 19:30 pm. I also installed a new parts I've replaced the display and the on / off volume flex cable. After having successfully placed everything the most exciting moment of the evening followed, turning on the device. The 1st time I turned on the phone it worked so well. I did some tests and turned the phone a few times on and off to see if that would not cause any problems. But after 4 times the phone only showed the backlight. I have been through all the connections and also did an disassembly again to see if there might be a flex cable that is not properly connected but I could not find anything.

Now my question to you is fellow members, would anyone here help me or has anyone here had previously experienced.

With kind regards,

How to make a backup of your device

There are many ways to back up your phone. Some are better than some but you can decide which you want to use.

1. Using recovery . Boot into recovery mode and select backup.

2. Using Mtk droid tools. Connect your device to the PC with usb debugging enabled. Run mtk droid tools as administrator and wait for it to load. Click on the root,backup and recovery tab. Select backup.

3. Using SP flash tool. This is recommended for those who don't yet have root on their device. There is an original post for this method from rua1 here

How to unbrick your device

Unbricking can be done using the One touch upgrade tool from the alcatel website http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/products/smartphones/pop_d3.html#.VLbhTiwYGzU

1. Download the Mobile Upgrade S 4.2.7 upgrade tool and install it

2. Turn off your device and take out the battery.

3. Reinsert the battery and open the tool.

4. Select your device from the drop down menu 4037 and follow the instructions from the tool.

I am trying to root the fierce 2 but it doesnt seem to flash the twrp recovery even though I am sure I did everything right! Nothing happens at the last step where you said to take out the battery then click download and connect the phone to the PC. Nothing happens the phone just shows the Actel logo and then vibrates and turns of then back on over and over. Any ideas?

Note I did not do step 5

Use my unbricking method to restore your device, and i don't think Step 5 should be a problem.

Yeah i kinda assumed it will set the latter value. Because if i remember correctly, system reads build.prop from top to bottom. I was just looking for a validation if someone else knew that to be true...

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I3ig Al:
Hey guys last night I decided to give CM12 a test and while I was liking it I went back to the stock 44S ROM because the phone is critical for business use on a daily basis.

I am using TWRP 2.8.3, Official CM12 Nightly from 1/14, and PA-Gapps from 1/11.

I of course made a full backup and did a clean install when switching from CM11 to 12.

I wiped Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System, and then wiped Cache and Dalvik again between Gapps install and booting. Basically before and after any flashing, I wipe cache.

Before and during trying CM12 everything was was fine, but after restoring my backup my phone will now wake from double tapping or pressing power button, it will ONLY wake if connected to USB, wich turns the screen on and enables me to unlock. Notifs make their noise but since they don't wake the screen, I can't tell whats happening until i plug in.

For now I upgraded again to CM12 nightly, but I would like to go back go 11s 44S until things are more developed. Is there any fixing my TWRP backup or should I just us that guide to return to stock and start over?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It's because your proximity sensor isn't working properly anymore. This is because a new modem was flashed to the device when you flashed CM12, and this modem isn't compatible with older ROMs. This has been discussed very extensively in pretty much every Lollipop thread, plus right here in this q&a section (there's even another thread only a few posts down discussing the exact same problem as this, as well as the solution). You need to go to zephiK's radio/modem thread in our general section and get the last CM11S modem to flash.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I3ig Al:
Thank you for the help Timmaaa, I apologize for being "that guy". Truthfully I looked but I guess my search phrasing was terrible because I didn't find anything as helpful as your response. I also have never done this stuff before outside of my old Nexus 4 and that was all on CM11.

Again thank you for answsering, the official OPO forums were not helping much and I was about to use your Back to Stock reflashing tool, but you just saved me a bunch of time.

CM12 to CM11S

Hi, I am on CM12 and badly wanna go back to CM11S... Really wish to try out the new updates like Maxxaudio and swiftkey integration. So once i have the ROM file how would you suggest me to go back to the CM 11S? I dont want to go wrong therefore please guide me through this or please show me a link where i can find a way to do this. I checked alot of phrases like CM11S from CM12..CM12 to CM11S..believe me i couldnt find any help...May be because I dont spend much time here in xda.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJWhite:
I have the LG G Pad 8.3 LTE model (VK810) running on 4.4.2 and I managed to root it with the bruteforce method from stump root. I have SuperSu loaded on the tablet. I tried doing some research about the tablet on my own and ended up with more questions than answers from when I started, so now I'm asking for help. I'm still a little new to everything, so forgive me if I ask anything too obvious.

Are there any ROMS available for my device? I think the answer is no, but I want to make sure of it. I wanted to start clean by removing all of the junk apps and programs preloaded on there.

The LG OTA update keeps asking me to update my tablet. I'm worried the update will disable the root. If the update does take it away, is there anyway I can disable the constant reminder or should I take the update?

Should I bother trying to load TWRP on it? From what I have seen, people have had complications with it since 4.4.2 is not supported on my device.

If I can't start clean, what apps let me delete any apps that I want to? This question is generic, but I'm still confused as to what the best method is.

This question isn't as important as the others, but how do I put new apps in alphabetical order? It's not automatically doing it.

I appreciate any help that I receive. Thank you.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
It will not disable root. See the RECENT thread in the "General" section titled "VK810 OTA update from 22B to 23A keeps root". You don't have to read the thread; the title says it all.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Hritik154:
Okay so this guide is for peoples (and everyone who are intrested) who requested me to demostrate how to manupulate the text that comes im cwm screen during flashing of a custom rom

****I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MESSING OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE SO PLEASE TRY ON YOUR OWN RISK****

First decompress the rom (you should know how to do that if you are trying to mod it or use search button :) )

For custom text, you have to edit updater-script

If you dont have any knowledge of updater-script then:

***DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING EXEPT WHAT I DO OR YOU MAY MESS UP YOUR ROM***

You may find the it here at:

META-INF/com/google/android/*here*

**do a Backup of the file first**

use ONLY but ONLY notepad++ for opening the updater-script or it may get currupted

Add this in given format::

ui_print("TEXT should be here");

(Note: you can add many lines in the given format if you want many lined texts while flashing)

Add your text start at top in tje format as mentioned and save the updater-script and replace it with original in the rom

Now compress the rom again and make a flashable zip...

And you're ready to see your custom text while flashing it via cwm

Credits: all xda dev who are amazing teachers..

Ps. Its my first thread so correct me if something is wrong :)

press THANKS if i helped you in any way :)

Cheers :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] NightRaven49:
lol

I use Notepad (not Notepad++) and it never gets corrupted. To be honest, any text editor will do, so long as you don't mess up in your editing.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Hritik154:
Im generally recommending notepad++ for editing files..plus i said it MAY corrupt the file..its just a precaution for my future posts where you (in general) may want to edit xml files and opening with notepad will corrupt it...for example try opening build.prop next time with notepad you'll know what im talking about :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Minions_Army:

btw my friend kurotsugi already create this thread

and last...u must sign ure rom
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kartik verma:
Development in galaxy y is so fast now and i think no one is noob here :eek:

and why we are using Notepad++

becoz it has 3 formats for diff. operating system.

1.windows/DOS

2 unix/posix

3.mac

if u r writing code for linux than u choose 2nd one in EOL CONVERSION.

Becoz Android is linux based OS.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Hritik154:
Lol someone is spamming thread just cuz i pointed out error in his mod xD dunno how xda came to this point...anyyyway you already said no noobs here so i guess everyone knows its a linux based os and how to use notepad++ i said use it its upto you if you want to or not..and as i said its for precaution while editing xml files cuz they may get corrupted while using notepad..greets

u made thread like this.... XD

Why not u post about permissions in android ...??? They are more helpful than this plus.

no need to ask already learnt many thing which u are learning now.

and i dont want to increase post counts and i dont want likes , i never say other user to like maah post , i help u so hit thanks buttons.

like u who say "press thanks buttons"
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Hritik154:
Why do you have to be so irritating :/

Just simple to understand line:

DONT POST IF YOU DONT HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK RELATED TO THREAD
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Minions_Army:
grow up guys

back to topic or malybru come here
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
The reason why you should use notepad++ is due to the way windows handles the return key (and other functions)

If you make a new line (ie press enter) windows and Linux handles this differently and may cause the script to fail unless using the way Linux interpretates it by using notepad++

Anyway there are plenty of threads in xda that go into far more detail & explain all the commands of the updater script so I suggest if you want more details please search

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melogray:
I strongly recommend not to do this! You're very likely to damage the SIM card reader this way (and even void your warranty). It's best to call Sony and ask for a replacement part (or you can use Google to see if you can find an online shop that sells these).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
Sony won't replace it because of their contract with Verizon. Verizon won't replace it unless I submit it as damaged and they're going to charge me $199 to replace the entire phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melogray:
Wow, that sucks. Are you sure you lost the tray? Maybe you've just mislaid it...

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GigaSPX:
If you bought the phone recently I'd say march right back into the store to file a complaint and exchange for another Z3v. Doesn't seem right your phone comes without one.

Unless you lost it yourself, then you're going to definitely need to snoop around for a replacement.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Mischief:
I know this is an old thead, but it's one of the top search results.

I purchased a Z3v and the previous owner couldn't find the sim tray. Apparently, you can just order another from Verizon. I'll update if it doesn't arrive.
