[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] simika:
Hi guys,

this morning i had to the brilliant idea to go from OMNI 4.4.4 LVM into ColorsOs (chinese version) 4.4.4(not lvm..)

i did a complete wipe and COLOROS worked

but since there were few things i didn't like i wanted to re install my Nadroid backup..

so i went in recovery wiped all and re installed nandroid backup but IT FAILED

Basically the things is UNABLE TO MOUNT INTERNAL SD

i can ADB mobile on windows but (if i remove external sd card) not partition is seen

there is a way i can solve? did i just brick my phone? or i can create this internal sd card?? I can go in recovery and use ADB

thanks for you help
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] simika:
LITTLE UPDATE

i USED my nandroid backup and from it i could install just the BIOS .. and i've got back my OMNI ROM but internal partition is only 2,9GB

so how can i get back all normal from this point? like REVERSE LVM or reinstall it ??

or jsut format partition..

thank you all !
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] simika:
Ok.. I solved it... Main problem seemed to be that I went from a lvm rom to a Not LVM... so I used 2 files to revert and recreate lvm.. In the end I've got my rom back to work

Hello, I have upgraded to 5.0.2. via OTA a few days ago. My phone was RetEU .23, and the update notification that 5.0.2. became so annoying, so I decided to give it a shot. Lollipop is a disappointment for me, battery drain issues, lagging all over the menus, slow dialer, the phone was running better with KK installed, so I want to return back to 4.4.4.

Unfortunately there is no clear opinion whether this could be done, some say that when you have 5.0.2. bootloader installed with the OTA, you cannot go back, others say that it is no problem to do so. Really confusing.

Anyone tried to go back to 4.4.4. after getting the OTA? Could you please share how did you do so? Unlocking the bootloader and flashing one of the 4.4.4 stock ROMs from the General Section?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerriitw:
Hello,

i actually switched from 5.0.2 back to KK 4.4.4 from Pizza_dox

when your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed

follow these instructions

1, go do a factory reset

2, go to advanced wipe and select :dalvik cache/system/data/internal storage/cache

when you did that there is no system on your phone so when you restart you will be going into an endless bootloop.

3, go press install and select the Microkat.zip file from Pizza_Dox

when that is done you have agian kitkat on your device :D

i think there some other methods but this is how i did it succesfully.

Also dont forget to make a backup because you will lose everything.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dub_1:
Thanks for your comment. I actually plan to go back to the stock 4.4.4. I have a basic idea of bootloader and things but not deep into this and have never done it before. From what I have read , I will have to:

1. First I need to unlock the bootloader, as per the instructions in the Moto website.

2. Then I will need to do a factory reset. (settings-secuirity-factory reset or some other way of doing this?)

3. Download 4.4.4 firmware + script.

4. Start up with Power+VolDown buttons and have bootloader menu on screen

5. Run the downloaded script from its .bat file.

6. Wait for some time for the flashing to end, then have stock 4.4.4

Please correct me if something is wrong or missed.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
What i did...

Download the correct kk stock rom

Setup my drivers and mfastboot correctly (simple fast boot works too)

Unlocked bootloader. (Voids warranty coz gives bootloader status 3)

Reboot in bootloader now...

Flash all files of kitkat except gpt.bin and motoboot.bin (they never flash for me lol )

Flash all other files (i typed filenames manually)

Fastboot reboot

Ps - no matter what i do..i have not been able to lock my bootloader once i downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4

Locking bootloader works well on 5.0.2
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reefuge:
well guess im gonna try - but no need to do, as makes no difference except to downgrading.... So best off unlocked

simply use the 4.4.4 link in my signature and pick firmware 2 or B called DSDSALL to go back to 4.4.4 .23 ret(xx)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dub_1:
So, it has been confirmed by several forums that when you have officially received the 5.0.2 OTA download update, you cannot go back to KK.

It has something to do with the new L bootloader. I guess that there is no way of doing this, up to now at least. Don't know if someone has tried and succeeded.

When you have flashed the 5.0.2. OTA however, you can have KK installed back, as most of the users on xda.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reefuge:
YES you can install kitkat see my signature you NEED a unlocked boot loader

I have been up / down and sideways with ALL 4 versions ( 3 kitkat 1 Lollipop) of XT1068 firmware 50+ installs , a few soft bricks - also installed a few custom roms - gone back to lollipop and kitkat from these too.

see my signature for 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 firmware xt1068
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dub_1:
Cheers mate. Already installed stock 4.4.4.

Does it make sense to relock the bootloader?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reefuge:
no absolutely not....... boot logo warning still comes up ...warranty still void and strangely if been to 5.0.2 and back to 4.4.4 it wont relock

but you can relock if on 5.0.2

So, I created a nice boot animation in Windows BIOS style, using LorDestinY's tutorial.

The FPS equals almost exactly the boot up time of the device, so no big delay.

Images are contained in multiple folders, so no black screen, and have the size of 720x1080 for the Z1C model.

The information used for the lines are as real as it goes, and is based on the D5503 model.

Have fun!

Hav you tried the other version? Maybe you have a different screen resolution, can you check back your original bootanimation.zip? And by saying "Android sign" you mean the last part of this mod?

Has anoyne else this problem?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] vriz27:
just tried it (the .157 720x version) and all works just fine. all animation is shown as it should. good work my friend NFS.:good: [MENTION=4553079]mosespl[/MENTION] did you rename the downloaded file?because if you don't rename it to "bootanimation.zip" and set right permissions,i think that no animation will be shown.

Hi, tried both resolutions of. 157, doesn't work, only android logo shows up. Is there anything to do with bootloader, locked, unlocked? Permissions I set up as for native bootanimation. rw-r--r--. What could be wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks

Or maybe the way it's been pushed to the device? I just used file explorer.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] mosespl:
I had same situation. Check again permissions I set up permissions but after that it won't change so I set it again and after that it works so check again permissions

[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Please, check mosespl suggestion, there shouldn't be any problem with the .zip. It's not bootloader related, but the kernel should be stock-based, other kernels can change the way they handle bootanimmations.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] kokkss:
Sorted!

Thanks,

now it works, problem was copying the whole archive to device, so i droped it to dropbox and afterwards direct downloaded it to device, after that it works.

auto hibernate when app is closed : eg. FB, music players many other apps & services stay on even no need after closing.

If anybody know how to auto stop these with other apps or tricks, plz let me know!?

Per App Hacking doesn't help..

auto start when screen is on : eg. I don't need clean master to stay on when I'm not on wifi and screen is off.

again, any workaround for this?

Greenify is already the greatest app out there, but if it had these features, it would b God of apps IMHO :)
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
I think that you have not understood the working of Greenify correctly. It comes into play for hibernation only after the screen is off. When screen is on, it merely collects info about the apps that are running, closed etc to determine which apps are to be hibernated once screen is off.

Reg. auto hibernation, do you have root and have you enabled it in Device Administrator and Accessibility under Settings? Under which mode are you running Greenify: Root, Boost or Unrooted? And have you enabled Auto hibernation within Greenify and selected the apps to be greenified?
[Greenify] kennyk09:
Check the thread title

It's a wish list. you don't understand what wish list is?

I fully understand how Greenify works.
[Greenify] vipulkarkar:
Use Tasker and task kill plugin.

And for Greenify create hibernate shortcut and don't forget that it won't hibernate of application is in recent Apps list.
[Greenify] mire777:
It's easy to kill every app on exit.

Just use LMT(PIE) app , and instead of standard ''home, or back button'' use ''KILLAPP'' button from PIE menu.

In combination with greenify it works fine.

I was think to use only PIE(pie ''kill app process'' on exit), but this is not the same, greenify realy put this apps in hibernation.

So i must use combination of these 2.

Would be great, that greenify do this itself..

Sounds like you need a new usb port to me :crying: If you want to transfer files while you get it fixed you can use one of the many wifi enabled apps to transfer files from your phone to the pc.

Hey there guys,

I recently hit a problem on rooting and installing cm10 on an Xperia Active.

Here the actual facts:

Android 4.1.2,

CyanogenMod: 10-20131006-NGIHTLY-satsuma,

Kernel- Version: 2.6.32.61-MESA-HYBRID-v4.8 (seems to be the only kernel working since I receive a black screen using the kernel delivered in the cm10 Rom from above)

So here the Problem: There is no camera app on the device right now. Installing the Honami- Camera doesn't work either.

Any ideas? I'm pretty new in this Rooting/ Custom- ROM stuff, so please don't kill me if the solution is obvios.

[XDA Assist] gitr:
Hello there,

I need some info on how or if it is possible to make use of my full adb restore file or I just throw it away and restart fresh of my device.

Device is allview viper v1 (16Gb) -

NO ROOT and not interested in rooting it.

I believe I made a few versions of good back-ups including at least one good full backup including apks by using UBT (1.3.2 version if I am not mistaking).

My problem: I can't restore the phone by using any of the created ab files by using adb which drives me nuts.

It's worth to mention that in between I upgraded the phone software from 4.2 to 4.4 by using the producer's update images... I did a factory reset with 4.4 and re-installed most of the apps I had. I even copied most of the data from a file-sync backup...

Every time I try to use adb restore I get to the screen to input (now 2 passwords which basically are the same), I get the message "restore starting" and quite fast "restore finished" on the phone screen though while using the full back-up I definitely see that adb is still accessing / reading the file for longer time...

What I tried further: I used abe (android backup extractor by tweaking their .sh script) to create both standard individual .ab-s but also kitkat compatible ones (with abe pack-kk) with no luck in restoring the apps and their data.

It is quite annoying since after converting to .tar and un-tar-ing I can see that the backups seem ok and I can even see the sqlite data and xml settings for the apps but I do not know how to import those to the new OS running on the phone.

I tried this using both USB storage, picture mode, etc., input only the desktop pass and afterwards inputing both of the asked passwords.

So the question is: can I restore the data (about 32Gb including the pics and docs) or should I delete all the "working" files I created and put it on the "learn by error"?

Should I try to downgrade to 4.2. (if it is even possible..) and try the adb restore there?

Cheers and thanks in advance.
[XDA Assist] gitr:
Info about the device is available on the forums here - more or less related to the allview name since that's a re-branded phone - e.g. how to root it, how to flash it, how to recover from a broken state but that is not what I am interested in...

I guess it's more of an Android related question but might be a device issue too.

Nevertheless, I will take your advice and copy / paste the original post in Android Troubleshooting section.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitman7987:
Hey Guys!

Firstly, I know this same thread has been made for other devices. Most of which have solutions, but these do not work for me. I really need your help with my problem!

The Problem: My GN3 has lost its IMEI, the EFS folder might have gotten corrupt somehow. But by a stroke of bad luck, the IMEI turned to unknown and no methods seem to solve this.

Thus far I have tried changing the IMEI with NV Tools and EFS Pro. None of which work, I tried generating a new file and flashing it on, that did also not help.

It was stock 4.4.2 Samsung, rooted. We sent it in to a service center, but since Knox now says 0x1 they want to charge us R3500 (~$300) to repair it.

Upon inspection, I noticed from my EFS folder that all files starting with 'nv' was gone. SO I copied these from my rooted Note 2 and placed them in the folder. Idea being that I could just change the IMEI using NV Tools, as it didn't work otherwise. This however did not work.

The only sollution I can think of, would be for someone to make a backup (using TWRP or CWM) of their EFS folder, then for me to restore it and then change the IMEI with NV Tools.

I promise I did not steal this phone, and it is not blacklisted or anything. Ill send any who might help me a picture of the IMEI on the back of the phone + the original box and the receipt if they doubt me.

I DON'T WANT YOUR IMEI NUMBER, but I need a full Note 3 EFS folder with the original files, so I can attempt to fix mine.

If anyone has a different solution I'm all ears, and up for anything.

The following might be uotdated but no harm to try anyway(Can't copy the link so i copied everything)

1. Install Stock firmware via Odin, then re-run auto-root (to regain root of course)*

2. Install TWRP 2.6.3.2 via odin, reboot to recovery.

3. Do an "adb shell" when phone is in recovery mode to run commands via TWRP.

From the ADB shell: Wiped the EFS partition with the following command:

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12*

mkdir /efs

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs

(the last two commands probably did nothing, but thats what I did anyway)

Do a factory reset, reboot system
