I made a full "original" restore from the file C2105_15.3.A.1.17 R1B 1272-2166_Generic Central Europe 3 1272-2166.ftf, rooted, and installed TWRP (also tryed with CWM) but installing "Custom" firmware like cm11 or AOSB fails with "Error executing updater binary", Wath am I missing here?

If I record well there used to be sticky posts with guides but i am not finding it anymore!

thanks
[Sony Xperia L] mochoandre:
Ok, find it

for future and someone who needs

Install boot.img extracted from the rom you are going to use through fastboot (attention win 8/8.1 needs specific version of fastboot and drivers)

Enter Recovery

Flash Zip(s) of your new Rom

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] flexton:
I will show you now how to flash the latest XXLK3 firmware onto your s5830i/c/m/39i, or how to unbrick it, or how to solve the mount /data error

Before starting doing anything your phone must be s5830i/c/m/39i to flash this stock ROM. If your device is s5830 and you continue isntalling it i will not be responsible for any damage done to your phone!

This ROM was downlaoded from samobile.com

It was splitet by me using SplitFUS2

This guide can be used to unbrick your device and to FIX mount /data error (100% removing that problem)

Installation guide:

First isntall Samsung USB Drivers on your PC (Click!)

Then download Odin (Link in attachment)

Download this zip package Click!

Unzip the three files in the archive PDA,Modem and CSC

Run Odin..

Now take your phone and turn it off, hold volume up + volume down and power button until you see a screen that says Volume up:Continue... and that.. (If you only see a black screen you are in download mode just something is broken, i don't now what...

Now connect it with a compatible USB cable to your computer and press Volume up...

You should see on your computer a Yellow box saying COM:x,,,

Then just hit start on the Odin on your PC and the rest will be taken care by Odin

When it flashes you can root it by flashing Root.zip from attachment below (Not necesary, the warranty is being void by ROOTING)

DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE WHILE FLASHING THE FIRMWARE FROM ODIN, THE DEVICE WILL BE DEAD YOU WILL ONLY HAVE A DEAD BODY OF A PHONE, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT

is there a way through the IIi to remove how long this silly fone vibrates everytime i get a sms or sms sent confirmation...

and also is there a way to stop those anoying sms sent confirmations!!!

stupidest feature ive ever heard off~!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] skeeve666:
yup very to stop the vibrate, just go to start>setting>sounds & notifications>notifications> select messaging:new text message and turn off vibrate.

as for sent notification cannot remember myself ;[

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dukemagic:
I've noticed this a few times and haven't figured out a way to stop it - when I get a new email, a musical notification will begin playing and does NOT stop until I unlock the phone and dismiss the notification or open gmail.

I've already tried changing the notification sound within the gmail settings to "Silent" but that doesn't seem to fix. Never had this issue on my GS3 so I'm assuming it's a Motorola thing.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Not sure how to explain it. I'm 95% sure it's related to getting gmail notifications, but I guess it could be a different app (I generally leave my phone on vibrate so it's only happened a few times when my notification sounds are on). It's a musical melody that doesn't seem to end, not a short notification like everything else is.
[LG G Watch R] chrisnewton:
Hi all

I have just installed watchmaker and have a few questions

How do you get step counter to work? When I add step counter it just keeps saying 0

I understand that watchmaker faces use more battery, but if I decide to use stock face but keep watch maker installed will it revert back to normal battery usage.

Thanks for any help
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
The step conter only starts once its used in a watchface

it won't update in always on mode (but will continue to count and update once the watch is activated)

Successfully unlocked bootloader, installed twrp & rooted (SuperSU). Thanks OP for tips.

USB Debugging should be enabled.

At PC (Linux OS): do use "sudo fastboot ....." otherwise you will not get response for fastboot cmd.

If using windows OS, open command prompt for administrator.
[YU Yureka General] Kapiljhajhria:
Same here. Adb and fastboot drivers are installed. But its the device drivers are not installed. But my samsung galaxy s3 works fine with Adb.

Can you guide me how to do it with Linux. I have windows 8.1 and its stuck at waiting for device. So i want to try it with Linux now.
[YU Yureka General] dumtara:
Note : try all this at your own risk.

Enable Developper mode & USB Debugging in YU Yureka.

Adb & fastboot should be installed on your linux m/c.

Now connect YU via usb .

At prompt type this.

$adb reboot-bootloader

YU will now be in fastboot mode.

Now give command as

$sudo fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock

$sudo fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery-yu.img

$sudo fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot

boot into newly installed recovery.

$adb reboot recovery

select "install from zip" option & flash SuperSU.zip

[MENTION=5810852]aashking[/MENTION]

hi nice tut...

but this works only on win x86 users...

so can you please add this to OP for x64 users

before doing unlocking procedures win x64 users [all 7,8,8.1,10 OS] need to disable driver signature enforcement"

for windows 7 x64 :

When boot screen loads, press the F8 function key a few times until you see this boot menu [IMG="boot menu"]http://www.thegeekprofessor.com//graphics/tools/windows7/windows7_boot_menu.jpg[/IMG]:

now look for option in the bottom called Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

Use the arrow keys to highlight it and then press the ENTER key. Windows will load like normal and now u can unlock yureka like win x86 [dont restart windows without unlocking becoz restart makes again the driver signature enable]

for windows 8,8.1,10 x64

click this link and follow instructions there and follow yureka unlocking procedures..

[YU Yureka General] Kapiljhajhria:
Don't worry there in only one in a million chance that you can damage your device by rooting.

I tried above steps (before thread got updated) atleast 20 times.

There is nothing in these steps that can harm your device.

tried this but still facing the same error!!

Edit : NVM bootloader got unlocked and flashed custom recovery

Followed all steps as mentioned....

Bootloader was unlocked

but when i try to reboot into recovery it reboots into stock recovery...

after that i tried flashing the super su zip through the stock recovery it shows error while installing

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed"

Installation aborted.

Plz tell me what to do??
[YU Yureka General] aashking:
1. Download the superuser. zip and place it in external sd-card

2.flash the custom recovery again through command prompt

3. Disconnect the cable and press these combination keys to boot into recovery "vol up+ vol down+ power

4. Now it should boot into recovery

5. Install the superuser. zip

Note: don't do normal reboot after flashing custom recovery
[YU Yureka General] amardeep434:
Issue solved thanks mate!! :D
[YU Yureka General] aashking:
new issues after new incremental update!!! just disable "update cm recovery"

These are the issues faced after the new incremental update:

Issues:

*cannot root because custom recovery is not booting

*every time after flashing custom recovery it boots into stock CM recovery

Solution:

1. Download the superuser. zip and place it in external sd-card

2. Go to developer option and disable "update cm recovery".

3. now flash the custom recovery again through command prompt

4. Disconnect the cable and press these combination keys to boot into recovery "vol up+ vol down+ power

5. Now it should boot into custom recovery

6. Install the superuser. zip

I have a little question. What will be the size of complete backup of Yureka taken with CWM Recovery with all reset to factory i.e. no apps and data added by user? Also is there any difference in sizes of full backups taken with CWM and TWRP of same device.

I am asking this because currently I have 4 GB micro SD card available, so I will be able to take a complete backup of Yureka in that space (3.74 GB available) or not. And which one makes a smaller backup file (i.e. more compressed) CWM or TWRP.

Hi there, thanks a lot for the tutorial but I can't seem to get past the following message:

_and_other_tools\Android>fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.003s

I followed all the steps properly. The only deviation from the standard method was that when I entered into Fastboot Mode, the pc tried to install a driver named "Android" but failed. And because of that I was stuck at <Waiting for a device> message. And the problem persists even for Minimal ADB and fastboot. So I googled up a little bit and was finally able to install Android ADB driver using device manager using Android SDK files. So when I repeated the whole process, the above mentioned "Error" message was thrown at my face. I really want to root my phone. Could somebody please help me? :(

Thanks.

WAIT warning

Uncheck Connect PdaNet+ after installations checkbox.

Now open command window in that folder(press ctrl+shift and right click).

Type the following command and press enter.

and go to step 2 Flashing a Custom Recovery:

Stuck at fastboot

Hi, sorry for being noob.

I updated my Yureka to Lollipop via OTA. Everything went smoothly and the phone was running great.

Then I decided to root my mobile and followed the instructions. Downloaded all adb tools and drivers for PC.

By holding shift key opened command window where the extracted adb files were.

Executed command 'fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock'

Then Executed command 'fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery-yu.img'

And then blank..........nothing~!. Tried rebooting, taking out battery, putting it on and rebooting into recovery by holding vol+, vol- and power buttons. Just shows the YU logo and then phone turns blank. Would really appreciate your help guys. Worried.
