[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Actually, looking at your screenshots I might be wrong. I'm still on 2.8.0 and there is no option to flash images, only zips. But it looks like the version of TWRP you're running does have the option to flash images. I've never seen that before, you learn something new every day I guess. That being the case, I don't know why you would be getting that error. Are you sure you're trying to flash the correct image?

EDIT: I just checked out the TWRP thread, and according to the OP, you can only flash boot and recovery images, not system images. So I guess my original post still stands. If you want to flash a system image, you need to use fastboot. Otherwise, flash a ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47108907&postcount=1

What's the big deal? Why not just use fastboot?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingspeed:
Thank you sir

did you know if anyone modified system.img to .zip ?

just system file without data

for don't delete my app

and again sorry for my English :)

Are you unable to boot or something? Can you get a ROM onto your phone and flash that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingspeed:
no i cann't flash any rom

and now i try to install Miui and flash it on MultiRom
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
What do you mean you can't flash any ROM? Please try and be as clear as possible- if I don't understand what's going on, I can't be of much assistance.

What situation are you in? How did you get into your current situation?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
So is your original system wiped? You can't boot into android anymore?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingspeed:
I'm so sorry sir

I have multirom manager , and by mistake I install Miui OS on the primary OS , after 10 seconds i stop it , so the primary KitKat system wiped.

Thanks to god I solved this problem by flash system.img from laptop and flash another recovery by (NRT toolkit ) than open multirom from the primary OS to reinstall last version of kernel and TWRP recovery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
If you have the latest twrp you can flash img. If there is an error then the system.img must be corrupt (maybe bad download). Is your multirom up to date?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
It was my understanding that you can flash any .img other than system.img. At least that's what it said in the OP of the TWRP thread when I read it the other day.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

So are you up and running then?

And FYI, stop using toolkits. You should have flashed recovery the same way you flashed system.img, from your laptop with fastboot. Toolkits can cause a lot of problems and if you rely solely on them, you'll never learn how to fix any problems that you may encounter.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Oh, never actually used it, just knew you could flash img files.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fury683:
Have you tried the Nexus Factory Images? USB Debugging only matters for ADB to work. I am not familiar with the NRT (Nexus Root Tool?), is that part of the Wugfresh toolkit? It may have commands via ADB to put the device into the bootloader, but you can use the Factory Images to do that without ADB or USB Debugging enabled.

Turn the device off and then press and hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN at the same time. After a few moments a screen with an android laying on his back will appear, along with some menu options.

You should not be able to run the batch file for the Nexus Factory Image of your choosing. I believe you may need fastboot working on the PC to use the Factory Image. If so, try Minimal ADB/Fastboot, and unzip the Factory Image to that folder.

Guys someone plz help. I flashed some random ROM and now the phone won't boot up. It doesn't go to recovery or boot loader. Just keeps on rebooting. I tried all possible combinations but nothing worked.

Plz see the pics attached. Whenever m trying to boot into recovery and boot loader all I see is some screen like broken or something. (Second pic).
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=5444026]burninitup[/MENTION], Humm I see where you come from,, Let's run an experiment on your device and see if we can restore it to its former glory .

Technically you did hard bricked your device ( claiming both Recovery and Download mode are not accessible), so your last hope might be USBjig to force your device into Download mode. However in some cases with black /distorted images these instructions might work:

1. Remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).

2. Phone is off, Now try to get into Download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously; ONLY IF phone will turn on ( doesn't matter you have no visuals ), then press volume up;connect your device through USB cable; have your correct Wipe-flash able PDA/CSC/MODEM + boot loader+ pit file at hands ; Re-partition ticked ) .

phone should be detected in "ID:COM" area ( green USB signal), then proceed with your flashing over Odin.

Hope I did help you
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raakib Zargar:
Hi bro,

according to your problem it shows that you have Hard bricked your device you may need to provide it with JTAG service which may revive back your bootloader values then flash it using Odin
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burninitup:
Thanks for ur reply but it is running fine now. I don't know what the problem was but i kept it without battery for around whole night and in the morning when i plugged in the battery and try the download mode, it worked and then same with the Odin and stuff. And it's running very well now.

Thanks All. I have the similar issue. My phone boots again and again (I guess it is in bootloop) with no volume. Please guide me in flashing the phone to any stock/custom ROM and let me know if I have to start a new thread for this issue.

I have followed the procedure on the link: http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830/ and downloaded ODIN 4.38 but the phone is not getting detected in ODIN and it is not getting into download mode by pressing Vol UP + Vol Down + Power keys.

Then, I got a software named Samsung 300K Tool.exe which forces the phone into download mode. It forces the phone to download mode.

I have downloaded samsung drivers from the link: http://www.android.gs/download-samsung-usb-drivers-for-android/

Then, I followed the instructions provided in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeDUwa9c34

It is instructed in this video to install Odin3-v1.85 in which phone is getting detected (pic is attached). I followed the whole process in the above video and the result is PASS in green (pic attached) but the result is same. No Improvement.

Please help and guide me to get the phone recovered to any ROM (stock/custom)

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Get all of the tools from either sources available to you and get to your download mode and do the following instruction in regards of ( PDA/CSC/MODEM) / boot loader/ pit file ( doesn't matter you have no access to E3 stock recovery at the moment for wipe instruction , just put the required files into Odin3 and rest of the story was depicted in clear detail ).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magooz85:
Hi all,

this is my very first post here on xda, so please forgive me if this is not the proper section for my thread. I searched for other thread about similar issues, but I didn't find anyone. I'm Italian, so I even hope to not being wrong in English writing.

I recently bought (on November 2014) an Huawei Ascend Y550-L01 (Android 4.4.4, EMUI 2.3, ROM B137), coming from a (Portuguese) Samsung Galaxy Y Pro GT-B5512. Soon I experienced a very strange GPS behaviour: GPS turns itself off. No problem in signal fixing, nor in quality or precision. It simply deactivates.

First I noticed this using the OruxMaps app (which works fine on many phones, even my old one), simply recording the track. Indeed, at the beginning the app was being killed (because of the integrated task-killer) when screen was off, but after setting it as a "protected" app, when I record a track, GPS works while screen is on and, if screen turns off, then most of the times (not always) GPS is deactivated from within Android settings.

I even received (from the purchasing time) some GPS errors while in the home screen... I don't remember exactly that error, but in a fast Internet search it was told being caused from the weather widget, precisely from the "actual position" setting. I deactivated it and added manually my town and those errors were gone.

Then I noted another strange behaviour: GPS turns off even in standby, during night. It is on "extreme precision" on evening and it's off at morning. Sometimes I notice these deactivation (in the notification menu or into the energy saving widget) while I'm using the phone (but always when screens is off), without any error or message popping out... It simply gets deactivated.

Any other experiencing this strange issue? What could be the cause? I sent a mail to official support, but they asked me to take the phone in a service point... I can't stay without phone, so I would like to avoid this if it's not strictly needed.

I think it's a ROM issue (said that even in the mail), but unfortunately still there is no alternative one (or at least I found none). I think also that (almost) every app that uses GPS suffers for the same behaviour I faced using OruxMaps.

PS: phone IS rooted by a couple of week, but I'm facing this issue from the first day.

What the hell is going on? Any help, idea or trying suggestion is appreciated...

Many thanks!

Up?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si01:
I also see strange problems on the Y550-L01 connected to GPS.

In my case the GPS does not disconnect completely, but during car navigation the signal gets lost from time to time (tested with different navigation apps).

This is only the case when the Y550 is NOT connected to the charger. If I connect it to the power supply, GPS works quite reliable and accurate!

For me this sounds like a software problem (maybe connected to a power saving mode?). I hope a firmware update will fix this soon.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magooz85:
Even to me this is a firmware issue. Before of your answer, I was really beginning to think it's a fault of my phone. Now that I'm not the only one, I went back to think of a bug.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alf921:
If it is a power save problem, then try to use this app to stop the power save mode :

"Wake Lock gives you control over the Android Power- and WifiManager.

For example, you can force the PowerManager to keep the screen on or have the CPU still running in standby mode or make sure the Wifi connection keeps running at full performance.

You can use it on any android phone or tablet.

Use it to keep the screen on in full brightness or dimmed mode during movies or slideshows.

To make sure the CPU is still running in the background doing your tasks when you press the standby button."

So I have an HTC One M8 from Wind Mobile in Canada. I've unlocked the bootloader, used Sunshine to S-OFF. I can change my SID just fine, however I cannot change my MID. This is the last thing I need to do in order to RUU to a developer edition ROM in the USA. What gives?

After this my CID is still BS_US002

EDIT 2:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
1. CID won't show changed until you reboot

2. You don't need to change the MID, and the only way to change the MID is in Android when rooted (see the guide in General)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Thanks!

Why do many threads say I need to change the MID?

At this point my MID is stock and my CID is all 1's. How can I now receive the OTA?

I believe I need to RUU to a developer edition ROM which is why I needed to change the CID/MID.

Alternatively, I would just dirty flash the stock sense 5.0.1 ROM from the OTA, however I've been searching the forums for over 30 minutes now and it's seeming impossible to find the stock sense 5.0.1 OTA ROM from HTC....

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yeah I kinda had a bad feeling that is what you did... That won't work.

[how to] change your MID without an eng bootloader <<<Correct method.

You must be rooted else you won't be able to use the commands.

Oh and Developer Edition MID is 0P6B12000
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Thanks,

So once I'm changed over to the developer/unlocked MID, I change my CID, then I can receive OTAs or do I also need to RUU? That link seems to say you don't need RUU
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Well you don't technically need the RUU. You could just download a stock nandroid for developer edition to restore in twrp, stock recovery for device and let it do its thing. Preferably you'll get an older version to test that the OTAs are in working order. Works fine, I did this with my first conversion.

RUU on the other hand is much easier...So just run the RUU and you're set. Else you're just on a "Developer Edition" phone running a custom ROM from Wind Mobile Canada, you won't get OTAs then.

You'll need the proper ROM/Firmware in place so yeah...Run the RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Thanks for the info. So if I run the RUU for the unlocked version, lets say to 4.4.4, in theory I should be considered an unlocked phone and get OTAs to 5.0.1 that HTC pushed? Where can I find the RUU for developer and or unlocked?

I think I'm having a hard time at this point understanding the differences between CID and MID and how they pertain to OTA updates.

As far as I'm aware, the CID ties me to a carrier that will push updates to me. They won't push an update to me though, unless my MID matches the carriers mid as well... right?

I don't know why I see so many threads about how to change one or the other, when it sounds like you'd need both.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Well as I understand it you don't need to change MID if you use SuperCID. With SuperCID you can flash any firmware from any GSM M8 but, I also read somewhere that apparently you won't get OTA updates with SuperCID or it won't install. But generally(If you're S-ON, so for majority of people) the CID/MID have to match 100% to get the OTA to work.

MID is just for Model Identification. Not sure how they come about the numbering of these devices though. Some different model numbers in the America's as it is. 0P6B13000 for Wind Mobile(Canada) T-Mobile is also 13000(US Version I believe), International is 10000, AT&T and Developer/Unlocked Editions is 12000, 16000(For Rogers Canada) , 20000 for Verizon(US)...So I'm not sure how they come about these numbers.

CID I think it could perhaps be fair to call it both region AND Carrier. CID for HTC International is HTC__*** but they're not a "carrier" in the traditional sense(Sprint, Verizon) but they push the OTA directly from HTC's servers. Breaking it into different regions, HTC__E11 I think is like Holland, HTC__203 is France, HTC__102 Germany? HTC__001 WWE International etc etc. Probably just a way to make it easier to push to the various countries that probably depend on different language packages etc.

As for the RUU, you can find it in this thread. RUUs, OTAs, Stock TWRP Backups, Firmware & More Collection
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
OK sorry for the flurry of questions... I'm about to go ahead with this and want to make sure this is right in my head.

Carrier: Wind

1. I'll follow this video exactly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-1VgZebVwU

2. I'll change my device to the developer edition

2. An addition step to interject into this is I need to run the following:

adb shell

su

echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x32\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384

Now, I'm very familiar with linux and I know exactly what the repercussions of this command can be. It looks like it's injecting hex straight into the device file for something. I know if there are any more or less characters, it could be fatal for my device. If this command screws up for some reason, what then? That's the only thing I haven't found.

But honestly at this point I'm 100% ready to wipe all my data, so does RUU change this for me?

Finally:

RADIOS. I know Wind is a pretty non-standard band. Am I going to need to flash radios, or is that all retained on my device?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Just copy and paste the echo command in its entirety, it won't mess up something if you just copy/paste it. It's to change the MID to 0P6B12000.

\x30(0 zero) \x00(. dot) \x50(P) \x00(. dot) \x36(6) \x00(. dot) \x42(B) \x00(. dot) \x31(1) \x00(. dot) \x32(2) \x00(. dot) \x30(0 zero) \x00(. dot) \x30(0 zero) \x00(. dot) \x30(0 zero)

Those "dots" are just the usual dots(null?) you'll find when looking at a hex editor i.e You'll get the offset at the left, the hex values in the middle and ASCII at the right. usually there are a couple of dark . (dots) between each character, letter, word. Those are those dots, seeing as the MID shows as 0.P.6.B.1.2.0.0.0 in hexeditor... Your MID will already be pretty much the same all. Instead the 2 is a 3(\x43) where are you're changing it to \x42 now.

So just copy and paste the command all will be in order.

RUU will wipe all data(except for SDcard).

You shouldn't have to flash the Wind Radio. The tech used in the M8 with the snapdragon makes it so the phone is more "global". For more info on that you can read up on Qualcomm's RF360 Front End Solution.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
OK I did it. Now I have this:

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B12000

(bootloader) cidnum: BS_US002

I did it. Following the youtube video + changing my MID did the trick flawlessly. Frantically swapping data around so I can restore all my apps now :)

Thanks a lot for walking me through this!
