[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
You hit the nail on the head there :) the boot.img is a Rom specific boot launcher if you like. Or otherwise known as the Kernel. If you have a custom Rom and flash a stock firmware the custom boot.img is replaced with the stock boot.img so your custom Rom won't boot. Simply flashing the boot.img from your custom Rom would fix it and all your data will remain in tact but it's just easier to avoid it :good:

Yes you can downgrade your Rom but keep your newer firmware. It shouldn't cause any major problems. You may find things like reduced no mobile or WiFi signal. Capacitive buttons not working as expected and such but usually everything works ok :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shepppster:
I think this is my final question ...I know this has ended up a tutorial but the thread provides good advice to noobies.

I intend to flash the ARHD 84. once i reach the latest firmware.

Will flash each firmware up to 6.09.401.12 deleting the boot img and the recovery in each package.

When I get to firmware 6.09.401.12 I see the rom uses the official firmware so at this point I only need to delete recovery? ...the boot img should be fine for the rom?

Or do I delete the boot image as before as the flash process creates a new boot img.

or I flash the boot img from the custom zip usiing fastboot?(as there is a boot img file in the HD84 zip file)

That is it and sorry for turning this ino a saga,but I think this is a good reference thread in the long run:)

you don't have to delete anything from the firmware's just flash them sequentially till you get to the last one

then just flash TWRP and your rom to the phone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If your intention is to flash a rom directly after flashing the firmware then you don't need to worry about the boot.img, the correct boot.img will be flashed with the rom.

It's a good idea to have the rom in your internal storage before you start though so you won't need to boot to android to copy the rom after flashing the firmware or use adb push to get the rom to the phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shepppster:
I already have it on my internal memory and also on a USB stick via OTG lead,and in my Fastboot folder (so 3 options).

I Will have to re-install/flash img of TWRP again (if i didnt delete the recovery in the firmware zip files and,as the firmwares will give me stock recovery)- reboot into bootloader launch TWRP recovery find the rom on SD or push in adb or flash from memstick...but job done!

Any issues installing TWRP over an old one? (I intend to use the same version as I have now) I assume it will see the old TWRP folder and old bkup in the SD card too? if not I am goin for it!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yep until the ARHD lollipop release. TWRP 2.6.3.3 is still the recommended recovery for flashing ARHD roms :good:
[Sprint LG G3] static360:
Okay, fairly experienced android user here and i generally figure issues like these out fairly quickly before but anyway Decided to run some test on my sprint LG G3, went to the hidden menu ran the test fine in manual mode but decided to try the device test and that is where **** hits the fan. it said the device will need to restart and it did and it boots into the minios screen with the arrows jumping upwards then blank. touched the screen and a circle with a plus sign in it shows up and the colors change depending on how may fingers am using but now i can't get out of it, removed the battery and insert same thing. I really don't want to do a factory data wipe. saw a thread on here from somebody that had the same issue with the verizon LG G3 and he was able to fix it by just holding down the power and selecting normal boot. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me, am on sprint LG G3, nothing shows up with just holding down the power button. I tried restarting and keep the power button held down and still nothing it boots straight into the minios animation and then blank screen. If anybody have something i can try besides full data wipe i would really appreciate it. Again am not some noob that decided to play doctor with the hidden settings without knowing what i was getting into, funny thing is i ran these test before and it worked out fine not sure what is different this time but then again its android anything can happen. Also i have encryption turned on am not sure if that is a factor. Side info, am stock kit kat, non rooted and all.

If you're not getting the "Touch screen here" or something like that then you're probably gonna need Flashtool. Follow this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54912191&postcount=1

Usually, in Mini OS, if you're not getting the "BIG RED 2", Hold down the power button along with touching the screen. So you do them at the same time.

Other than that, Flashtool is the only way I can think of. :eek:

I'm looking for a solution to use my Nexus 7 as a video screen in the backseat for my son. It will be mounted on the back of the seat and I want to be able to control it from my phone (Nexus 5). I thought this would be fairly easy to do with all the remote desktop and casting apps out now but I have not found anything that will work.

Allcast on N5 with Allcast Receiver on N7 - Works to cast local videos but requires wifi which I don't have in the car. Out

Cheapcast - Turns tablet into chromcast. No longer working with most apps and requires wifi. - Out

Tablet Remote - Remote control from android to android. This will remote control the tablet from the phone. Only has buttons (volume, play, pause, directional arrows, etc) so you cant see what you are doing without looking at the tablet. If I have to climb back there it defeats the purpose. - Out

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Hi all,

It's been a while since I wrote something...

Recently I have been looking for a high amp USB car charger to charge my Galaxy S5, attempting to make use of the "Quick Charge 2.0" and testing out with my microom USB 3.0 cable etc... but they all state about 2 amps or a combined output such as a 4.2 amps charger but divided in 2 x 2.1 amps pet port, now I was wondering if I combined both ports I should be able to regain the 4.2 amps, and since each circuit is designed to output up to 2.1, and the charger is designed to output up to 4.2 simultaneously, it should be able to sustain the 4.2 amps output? And the voltage should stay the same since it comes from the same source?

Thanks

The S5 battery can't draw more than 2.1A. Using a 4.2A charger won't change the chargingspeed past the 2.1A.

[Omni Q&A] atzaruri:
Hi,

I searched many threads for my problem and I saw it mentioned in a few places, but there was no solution.

I've flashed the latest nightly build of omnirom (20 Jan - but this happend to me on older builds, from november, december). As it requires, I also flashed a JB modem (or modified kk - tried both). But, when I use any jb/modified kk modems, after any phone call, the speaker sound becomes very distorted for a random period of time (sometimes a few seconds, sometimes until screen lock/unlock, sometimes even after screen lock/unlock). All sounds are distorted (system, notifications ..). This happens only after phone calls.

When I tryed with an original KK modem this problem does not appear, but then the ROM does not work properly (no auto rotation). I can also mention that this problem does not appear if I use the headset, only when on speaker.

Has anyone encountered this problem? This happens for me with other ROMs too (CM11, CM12 (there are official nightlies), SlimKat), but on others not (like Paranoid, LiquidSmooth). Also, this problem does not appear on Stock rom (maybe because there an unmodified KK modem is used?).

Thanks.
[Omni Q&A] Darriousx:
Same issue here. I only use hangouts and it happens on my CM12 or CM11 based ROMS. Sound distortion throughout system until I lock/unlock or change sound settings (raise/lower volume).

I've seen a few ROM developers say it was a bug in their ROM they're trying to fix but I've never seen any working solutions as of yet. I hope someone can figure out what the issue if. I may have to go back to stock if this is the case :/

Accidentally wiped my internal data, so now everything is gone and I don't know what to do.

Now whenever my phone is rebooted its just frozen on the Htc one boot screen, and when I go back into recovery it says no os, when i say to restart.

So how do I fix this guys?

I need my phone for school, so is there a quick fix that I can do on my computer?

Or do I have to buy something

Please help!

Update: I have now relocked the device, idk what to do here.

Do i usee the RUU?

yes the cache does not matter we formatted it remember

Hey everyone,

So I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted my phone. After that, I flashed Android Revolution HD (Lollipop version). I didn't S-OFF before flashing the ROM.

Now I realize I need to update my firmware and to do so I believe I need to S-OFF? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I'm really stuck at this point as I don't really know if I did something wrong by flashing the ROM before S-OFF.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks

I can boot into bootloader and TWRP but it's a struggle doing a regular boot.

[Android][Unlock/S-OFF] SunShine for modern Motorola & HTC devices

That's the only method to S-OFF $25 for it. You'll need to be stock or as close to stock as possible. Read that Maximus HD ROM works well with it, you can find that in the Android Development section, might have to grab an older version for Radio to work properly. Will need that to have the app collect the necessary files from their server.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingowistico:
No you're not supposed to lose anything. The word "flash" in this context comes from the act of writing data to the

flash

based ROM chips. So to "flash" means to "write".

I told you to make a full backup in recovery and a manual backup of your files just in case you are worried. But it's always good to make backups.

Generally when flashing roms, I follow these three simple steps:

1 Make a full backup of your current rom in recovery

2 Flash new rom

without

wiping (aka dirtyflash), see if it works

3 Only if apps start bugging and crashing do a full wipe and flash new rom again
