[General Questions and Answers] OldTacoman:
Hi

My 90 yo mother needs a new phone. The 8 year old Samsung is giving up. She needs one that is really LOUD. She refuses to wear a hearing aid or headset. I also it needs be on Verizon. She is on my plan and I get an very good rate on a corporate unlimited plan. The Jitterbug would be perfect except it is locked into "Great Calls" and apparently can't be unlocked to be activated on Verizon.

It needs to be simple. A smart phone would be an over kill but is a possiblity.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Ok so I'm not sure what the issue is but, I'm rooted and Bootloader unlocked, went to flash a recovery, I reboot and it boots into CWM, when I boot back into the OS , turn off the power, then boot into recovery by holding down the buttons, the custom recovery is gone. I can reflash it and boot into the custom recovery but I loose it everytime. Its like its only temp rooting. I've tried CWM Rom Manger and Flashify, it does the same thing.
[Motorola Atrix HD] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=1832590]TabascoTX[/MENTION] some devices have stock recovery restore scripts. I haven't dealed with your phone model yet mate, so better check your threads to find the answer.

Just few examples:

On Samsung Tab 2, S3, Note etc it is enough to wait 30sec after flashing custom recovery, then disconnect and turn off, then boot directly into recovery with buttons combo.

On OPO the script must be disabled in settings, option "update recovery by OTA system updates".

There should be some kind of similar solution also for your Motorola

[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Its really odd. I'm missing something somewhere. I've rooted and installed CWM on a few of theses (5 lines with ATT and we all got the Atrix HD). Ive never had this happen before tho. I'm not sure why the recovery wont stick. And for whatever reason I cant get my computer to recognize this phone with fastboot either........

OK..I'm an idiot. found the solution here : http://xdaforums.com/atrix-hd/help/qa-cwm-6-0-5-1-jbbl-t3009075 Last post.. totally forgot to rename the scripts... Geez...You were right tetakpatak, its been a while since I messed with my Atrix. Still cant figure out what the issue is with Fastboot tho.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick1:
Hey,

Ive been trying to build a rom without SElinux present using:

"androidboot.selinux=disabled" in device/lge/hammerhead/Boardconfig

Disabling SElinux security overall in kernel defconfig via make menuconfig.

Ive tried both methods with and without each other.

Rom builds fine with inline kernel (Optipop with Optipop stock kernel) but it doesnt boot at all. Logcat didnt show anything special happening. Can post it here if someone wants to take a look. Its quite short and ends in E/bootanimation cannot find audio.conf, but thats not really the issue as its seen there even when it boots.

So wanted to ask is it possible to build Lollipop rom with SElinux disabled NOT permissive.

Ive build my own customized SimpleAOSP rom, back in the KitKat time, and all i needed was kernel defconfig edit to disable SElinux and all was working perfectly. SElinux was disabled and everything ran smooth. sys/fuse/selinux was gone.

Thanks and peace!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieg71:
You will have to build a recovery with it disabled and using a kernel (for recovery) with it disabled as well.

Edit- and... That's not all there is to it, but that's a place to start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trev2hi:
So, I'm a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROMs. I've had my S4 rooted for a while and have had no issues. Decided recently to try a custom ROM.

I tried installing UltimaROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537495) and everything seemed to work fine during install, but once the final reboot happened I am stuck in a Download Mode loop. Reading more, I am now not so sure this ROM will work on my phone (duh.) I am assuming that I am going to have to use Odin to flash a stock ROM back to my phone.. is this true? And, if so, how can I tell which ROM to install? I looked at the SamMobile site and there are two f/w downloads that appear to apply to my phone, but they are labeled I337UCUAMDL and I337UCUAMDB. Neither one of these seem to match what I was at, so I'm not sure if I should use either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I did use Safestrap/TWRP to take a full backup of my phone before trying to install the ROM. Is there any way to flash just a new recovery and do a restore, instead of flashing a full stock ROM back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:

Anyone else having a similar experience and solution ? I have done a factory reset and have barely any apps. Basically when I leave it after using it I will return and be unable to turn it on. Nothing I do seems to be able to get it going again. I place it on the charger and come back a number of hours later and eventually I can get it to restart.

Not related to battery power level, and doesn't happen all the time.

I always test if the kernel works, I have a nexus 6 myself and it works fine, I use Linux Deploy, so you can run kali, ubuntu etc :D

The ALFA Network AWUS036NEH is a low powered device and does a good job, it's having a better signal then the other dongles I support

When using the TP-LINK TL-WN722N I noticed there the power usage was alot more, as I kept plugging in more dongles on a usb hub the TP-LINK TL-WN722N usually didn't even light on when too many dongles were plugged in

I either have to wait and see if eng.stk will add it, it probably works already, not tested yet as I mostly use Total Commander for this stuff

OH sorry, this is about the Version 2 :)

Yeah so weird that governor was slow for me aswell when being completely on a stock rom :rolleyes:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Evil_enc:
Hi all,

Is it somehow possible to access a shared folder under Windows 7 using the Sony Z3 tablet? For example a very large folder with a lot of family pictures which is right now on my Desktop pc.

There is an option in the official Sony Album App when clicking on the three bars in the upper left corner in the Sony Album app and then there is sth called Devices. But the device does not find the computer even though both devices share the same network.

It should be possible somehow, shouldn't it? Don't want to buy a large SD card to duplicate all the pictures.

Many thanks in advance for your answers!

I can see the shared folders from my NAS in the devices.

You could try to mount your Win 7 shared folders manually to the Sonys local file system:

It sucks that Lollipop has the heads up notifications instead of the classic notification ticker. You either get a huge banner that covers part of your screen for 10 seconds, or you get a single icon in the status bar.

I wish Samsung had implemented an option to choose the classic (as it is in 4.4) or new Lollipop style (looks like iPhone banners).

[Networking] freefallin:
I would like to share internet from my PC (which is connected to the internet through LAN) to my Smartphone (Samsung Ace 2 - GT-I8160). I would like to do that using USB cable since my PC doesn't have WIFI or Bluetooth. I know you can buy devices to enable WIFI and Bluetooth but i don't want to buy them. And then i want to share the internet from my smartphone to my laptop.

I download a program called Android Reverse Tethering on my computer to tether from my PC to my Android phone. That is working fine. But then when i try to tether from the Android (which is now connected to the internet via the PC) to the laptop via WIFI tethering, it connects but it says there is no internet access (you know, the exclamation mark on the signal strength sign at the bottom left corner of screen - Windows 7).

So yeah...how can i successfully tether from PC (LAN)--->Android (USB cable)--->Laptop (WIFI)?

[Networking] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Guys... seriously... The first thread in this forum, says to SEARCH. There are MULTIPLE tutorials in this very forum outlining this process. Please search for stuff before you post anything. The second thread in line, right under the ONLY stickied thread in this forum, is a reverse tethering tutorial. At one point, your thread was probably listed right next to it.
[Networking] freefallin:
Hey buddy! So nice of you to reply! I did search before asking on here. Actually, that's how i got here...one of my fruitless searches led me here. You see....if you'd "thoroughly" or at least carefully read my query.. . you would realize that what i am asking is quite different from what you"think" i am asking. I know how to reverse tether...that is, share internet from PC to Android. That is not what i would like to know. What i would like to know is how to tether from PC to Android

TO LAPTOP

. You see, you missed to last to words. But that's OK, it happens. Thanks for your reply again.
[Networking] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Why in the world would you tether from PC, to Android, to the laptop? What would the point be? Just tether the laptop to the PC. What is the need to put the Android device in the middle of that equation? That's probably why you hadn't received any responses, because it doesn't make any sense. You can edit the process of the tethering tutorial to make it work on a laptop, regardless of OS, as well.

"I would like to share internet from my PC (which is connected to the internet through LAN) to my Smartphone (Samsung Ace 2 - GT-I8160). " that is the first line of your post.

You probably will not be able to achieve what you are asking, because the Android OS doesn't recognize the tethered connection on your phone as an actual connection (that's why a bunch of apps can't use the signal). Have you tried to use a wi-fi tethering app (Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether is the best option)? You also will need to be rooted for all this to work (especially since your carrier probably blocks Wi-Fi tethering altogether if your data plan doesn't allow it, regardless of whether that connection is a data connection or a Wi-Fi connection).
[Networking] freefallin:
And how would i be able to tether from PC to laptop directly without disconnecting the LAN cable from the PC and connecting it to my laptop...hence, making the PC "internet-less".?

Please do tell me how and which part to edit to make it work "the way i want it to"?

I am sorry about that. Yes that is the first line of my post. I thought the title and the 8 or so next lines would make it clear as to what i was looking for, but i see i have failed.

Yeah, just downloaded it. Doesnt seem to connect. It just says, either, "starting..." and never starts. Or it goes from "starting..." to "waiting for WIFI connection to be disabled..." and never starts.

Phone is already rooted. Data plan's got tethering enabled.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diet6:
I've managed to softbrick my nexus 10 by trying to disable extra services (was getting about 1.5 hours battery life with media services running the processor 100% all the time). It worked wonderfully (no negative side effects, went back to 10+ hours with the screen on, or days on standby) until I reboot it and now it won't load past the moving colors (Android 4.4.3, unlocked and all that).

I have TWRP, I was hoping to backup everything possible via usb, but it seems it's incapable of doing so. ADB backup can't be done using TWRP since there's no unlock function (reaaal useful there, recovery mode that doesn't support backups) and adb pull fails if I try to pull everything since there are files and folders with invalid file names (who puts ":" in folder names? they should be shot), and I don't know specifically what to pull, I was just going to get everything put back what I found was missing that I needed. There's no room to do a backup onto the device, and since the N10 has to sd/microsd, well... Useless options are useless.

Is there anyway to just do a proper backup with TWRP over USB? Or is the "recovery" mode as useless as I think it is when it comes to backups? (I'm aware I can get the tablet back to working order if I disregard the data on it, this is a question about backing things up before doing so)

Edit: Also, I have a pro version of SkipSoft ToolKit, but unless you can actually load into the OS the toolkit can't do anything at all.

Just really frustrated with the lack of doing something as basic as copying files from one place to another. Been messing with this all morning.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Do you still need help? What about mtp mounting? You can pull * for a whole folder

Why not adb sideload a new rom?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diet6:
I don't think I can MTP mount a Nexus 10, at least not in recovery mode. What I ended up doing was buying a OTG usb drive and making a backup to that. Problem was it split the tar over 4 files, which corrupted them (or at least made them not work with 7zip or tartool) fortunately I was able to get them to work with cygwin enough to get the files I wanted. I didn't want to sideload a new rom until I had backed up certain application data just in case it removed it.

All in all, had to buy a OTG usb drive (I would have just bought a cable but all the stores around here had was this "Dane 16gb OTG drive". So 20 bucks later I had the files I needed. Still annoyed that you can't do a ADB backup from fastboot or recovery mode, it seems like those would be the best places because no system files are in use, but who knows maybe the developers know something I don't.

In summary:

TWRP recovery cannot confirm a ADB backup over USB. ADB backups can only be done from the operating system.

TWRP recovery mode can only backup to OTG (if your device supports it, Nexus 10 does), but if the backup is larger than 2gb it will split the file and you will need some form of linux to extract it.

ADB cannot copy every file in recovery mode over USB due to certain file names being invalid for NTFS (this is probably not a problem on other file system types), this is problematic since the "pull" command has no skip option, it just fails when it hits one of these files.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Well you can easily flash latest rwrp that does well on my Linux mount internal storage but another solution is just flashing a rom with abd sideload and the'the back up from pc the content

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
adb doesn't work in fastboot mode, only recovery or Android itself.

Maybe because /data (not talking about /data/media) wasn't mounted?

Huh? :confused:

That's NTFS' problem, not TWRP's.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diet6:
1. I was just covering that you can't actually do a ADB backup unless you have access to android OS, in case anyone else came across this. (I didn't know when I started, and it took awhile to find it said concretely anywhere)

2. I made sure everything was mounted, the issue is when you send a backup command over ADB it says the "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation" message in terminal which you can't do from recovery mode on the device, thus you cannot do a ADB backup command over TWRP (or other recovery modes I'd imagine).

3. I should have been more specific. TWRP can do a backup to the device itself (built in storage), SD card (if your device has one and you mount it), or a OTG (on the go) device via usb directly to media like a flash drive. It cannot issue a backup over USB to a computer.

4. Completely agree it's a NTFS issue, but it could be mostly avoided by allowing files that error to be skipped or renamed rather than terminating the process. (I understand that's on the android devs since pull is made by them, and I doubt they would care to improve the command for a file system I doubt they use). Again I mostly included that so if anyone else is trying to figure it out they can stop looking for "a way" and just accept it can't be done.

Ultimately Khaon is right in that sideloading a rom would have unbricked it and I could have done the ADB backup then, I just wasn't sure how that might affect the app data storage so I was looking for a way to back it up before doing that.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
I'd just 'tar' what I wanted on the device and then pull that with adb.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diet6:
Yeah, I just had no idea what I wanted. I'm not 100% familiar with how the system stores application data, I figured if I copy everything than anything I "miss" after I formated it I'll be able to just research where it was and dig in the backup and pull it out.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Yeah adb sideload a rom will only affect system partition thus your data would not have been modified in any way. So you are done with your issue?
