[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Apps themselfs has nothing to do with SMS/MMS storage. They just read them and show them up to you. If you are using TB, then backup in xml format, because if you do in regullary way you will have some force closes. Or you just use SMS Backup and Restore app from Play store.

EDIT: If you restore app + data you won't get your SMS back, because they are store somewhere else. Actually, when you restore an app, you will get just the app itself and settings off it. Also TB can't restore system app yet in Lollipop.

SMS Backup and Restore did not do MMS (group/picture messages) the last time I looked. TiBu does this nicely, MMS too, though it does take a long time as others stated above.

SMS Backup & Restore does MMS messages if you check that option in the settings.

Hi All,

First of all thanks to all for this wonderfull forum and mods. Cheers :)

I am looking for NEXUS 5 Stock Deodexed/Rooted 5.0.1 ROM.e same or even

Root part is ok can be done by me, but i cant create a deodexed rom.

This forum have various kind of odexed and deodexed rom for Nexus 5,but not stocked deodexed one.

It would be great if anyone provide the same.

Yes i tried Google, but I cannot seem to find a link to a stock rooted deodexed 5.0.1 rom for the nexus 5.

Something like this :

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZakMcRofl:
While cooking my german GPS rom I noticed that there is very little information about the ExtROM nb format. Right now we can't extract it, we can't rebuild it, we can't resize the partition.

So I figured it was time to put some research into the matter. I made a package that contains the following:

- 04_ExtROM.nb (from RUU_Trinity_HTC_GER_1.23.407.2_103_6275_1.38.00.11_108)

- extrom_dump.raw (a dump of the extrom area after flashing it)

- Content (content of the extrom, copied from device after unhiding)

The idea is to analyse how files are written from NB to flash and how they are stored inside the NB. The format should be identical with Hermes and maybe other devices.

The goals of this research are:

1) understanding the Extrom NB format

2) making an extraction tool for getting files out of extrom.nb files

3) making a rebuild tool that allows us to make custom extrom.nb files

4) Resizing the Extrom partition

Please post your findings in this thread, you can also contact me on IRC (#xda-devs on irc.freenode.net

Here's the file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/24740192/ExtromResearch.rar.html
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZakMcRofl:
Here's what I found out so far (only worked on it for a few minutes):

R1:

The Extrom nb seems to hold 7 versions of each file, probably for 7 different languages. Search for PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_ and you'll find:

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_FIN-040b.CAB

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_WWE-0409.CAB

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_WWE-0409.CAB

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_RUS-0419.CAB

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_FRA-040c.CAB

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_GER-0407.CAB

PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_FIN-040b.CAB

Those occur in the 7 different config.txt files. Maybe those cabs are not all really in the NB, at the very least they must be very similar. Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to compress. I found 7 occurences of several cab files in the NB by searching for the first few bytes of them.

R2:

The raw dump does not contain the config.txt files (at least I couldn't find them). Maybe config.txt gets stored elsewhere. I also didn't find the cabs in the dump so far, maybe a different format or a bad dump.

I had used

pdocread.exe -w -d EXT_FLA -p Part00 0 0xa00000 extrom.raw

R3: Only one of the 7 files in NB actually is actually in the ExtROM content.

My conclusion from R1 and R3:

The extrom.nb holds information for different languages or OS versions. Depending on some information only one of those actually gets flashed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
I'm finding it strange that the extracted ext_rom and the dumped ext_rom haven't the same structure. :confused:

I own a wizard (Qtek9100) and using Typho5 to extract it from the RUU and using podcread to dump it from the phone i always get a FAT16 image file. I can then use a program like Winimage to browse and edit it as i like.

Are you sure the extracted ext_rom is correct?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZakMcRofl:
I believe I did everything correctly, yes.

Trinity and Hermes are different from Wizard but my dump also seems to be FAT16. If you have experience with it could you please see if the Wizard tools work on my dump?

R4: The filesystem used for ExtROM seems to be TFAT16 (Transaction-Safe FAT).

The NB files contains 90 TFAT16 occurences. I'll see if there are tools for viewing/editing TFAT16.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
If you remove the first 0x1040 bytes from the nb file you get something looking like a FAT16 image, but still not working correctly. I wonder if the nbh decoder by itsme as a bug that produces a corrupted extension_rom?

I did ;) I downloaded your dump and used Winimage to check the raw file and it showed an empty (:confused:) FAT16 image

Winimage allows it. There's a tutorial by Faria on how to cook ext_roms and flash it back to wizards and winimage is advised :D

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZakMcRofl:
This post says otherwise (regarding TFAT16, not FAT16)

Source: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=847312&postcount=10
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
Well, winimage works perfectly with wizard nb files :confused: (decrypted nbf files)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZakMcRofl:
Yes, apparently Wizard uses FAT16 whereas Universal (and Trinity Extrom) use TFAT16. The former can be opened, the latter not.

I'm currently compiling a file list for further analysis.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
Maybe that's why Wizard's extended roms get corrupted when users try to delete files in it. Perhaps WM5 or WM6 use TFAT16 upon rebooting and it

screws up the reading :rolleyes:

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
What that script did was write some bits on your of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8. That might be the secured booting chain. Someone with same device should provide a by-name listing of partitions. If it is not turning on/charging doing anything, recognized as QLoader or Gobi modem in ubuntu it's a hard brick. I am sure there was a warning to not use this if it's not for the device it was provided for.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
mmcblk0p8 is the TrustZone partition so you are basically screwed. Send it in for a warranty and play dumb. I don't get it why people insist on not using by-name links. Do they think it makes them look smarter and more tech savy when they use direct device block numbers?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] neutrondev:
Well some devices don't support by-name partitioning (for example my P710). That file he used was for sure not intended for his device. Might be for a device that doesn't support By-name parititons. Respect for your work btw.

everything was ok till 22 december build...it started from 27 december build

earlier every lollipop rom worked fine on my n7100.

i dirty flashed 27 december build on 22 december build..it started rebooting randomly.

i wiped everything and flashed again it also showed same error and the rom was rebooting as soon as the screen turns off

after that i have tried every lollipop rom out there even every build of cyanogenmod 12 but it is showing same problem and rom in unusable. I was also using agni kernel on that rom and titanium backup. The phone reboots as soon as the screen turns off and the cyanogenmod logo appears. I have also tried wiping internal storage 3 times but no success.

This is not true for me.I have tried almost all the Lollipop ROMs since their first release.Now I am with the Resurrection Remix 5.3.2 dated 27.01.2015.I have not experienced any random reboots till this date.Most of the time while flashing new ROMs I was doing full wipe and Factory Reset.Once I installed Agni Kernel.After that when I shifted to another ROM I lost my IEMI. Flashing stock ROM couldn't restore it.Hence I went to Samsung Service Centre.They said that the Mother Board has to be replaced which which will cost Rs.7000.00 (apprxly 75..00 USD).So I went to a private technician and he restored the IMIE at a cost of merely Rs.250.00(apprxly 4.50 USD).Thereafter also I shifted to many Lollipop ROMs without any issues.But I never installed Agni since then.I am sticking with the kernels came with those ROMs.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YuriPan:
Ok, so my kindle's been acting up a looooot, so I tried doing a wipe. First of all when I reboot into recovery when it shows the blue kindle fire logo about 1/3 of the screen has an odd combination of red and white pixels, but then twrp's logo shows up and all's good. Then I went to wipe, I wiped at first cache and dalvik cache, now I did another wipe and wiped system as well. In both cases the first line it showed was "E: TWFunch: : Remove_MTP_Storage unable to locate partition for 0". What does this mean? Either way the wipes continued normally and were successful. Is this something I should worry about?

Also, perhaps I should mention I overclocked my kindle a few days back (on Saturday or Sunday if I remember correctly). I set the processor's max to 1500 for a few hours only (5-7 hours, no more), it ran great but then it seemed to act a little strange and right when I was about to set it back to 1200 it rebooted and was back to 1200 on its own. I'm running the Beanstalk 5.

Hello everybody!

I recently flashed the latest CM12 nightly (28/01/2015).

It all worked fine, the phone worked, camera,...

But when i install a nethunter rootfs .zip file (basically some extra packages), the phone doesn't dial and it says: Phone has stopped. This happens when i call someone/get called.

But when the popup appears, the call still works! I can hear the person on the other side and vice versa.

The problems kicks in when i press OK in the popup. Then the app really stops.

The same happens with the camera. The messaging app seems to work fine, I tried googles camera, to no avail.

I also tried to flash the nethunter kernel, also no avail.

Any help on what i can do?

I love everything about lollipop except one thing, the memory manager. it's way too aggressive and is keeping way too much memory free. i'm getting constant home screen redraws, app closures (especially music related apps).

on 4.4.4 i was seeing about 200mb of free memory which seemed to work just fine. lollipop is keeping no less then 500mb free!!! why did they set the free memory so high? it's closing apps to free up memory that's never getting used!!

Is this a google problem or is this something motorola messed up?
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
I agree, not sure what Motorola was thinking(or possibly google) but when I unlock my phone and get a black screen for a second before it redraws the home screen I'm not too impressed. It doesn't always happen though and so far I can't pin down what might be causing it.

Yup. I have a verizon moto x and right now its the worst phone I've ever owned because of this lollipop nonsense.

So disappointing.
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
so they fixed it on nexus 6?
[X 2014 General] evilnolo:
It is Lollipop 5.0. I have noticed it mainly with an app called Javelin, it is a browser that has a bubble that hovers and collects all the links you open in other apps. The bubble constantly closes after little time. This did not happen at all on my Nexus 4 with 5.0.2. So I guess it is a bug and Im hoping they have fixed it by that version.
