Hello!

I have recently bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note wcdma device

When device came he had a faulty updater so i've decided to update the firmware to the latest firm available (via recovery). Before and after the update the device had the same problems: random reboots and some app/sometimes froze the phone.

So i flashed a rom via fastboot with spflash. I had the same problems.

The curent version that i am using is Official Stable Multilanguage WCDMA MIUI v5 39.0.0

I got system freeze when i was trying to clean recent apps and when i played Shadow Fight 2.

In the last case was a softreboot that i have succesfully catched in a logcat.

1. What is it to be done (i have no more ideeas)?

2. Is it safe to upload the entire logcat?

Hey guys,

All the goo.im links appear to be broken, including the one on the first post.

I've been struggling to install Philz 6.59.0 on my Xperia SP for quite a while. I managed to find a .img file on another thread, but I'm having a really hard time finding out how to install it. Philz generic tutorial only mention a .zip version. Can anyone help out?

Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

hi, I installed blisspop 3.5 (lolipop 5.1.1) and tangerine_v4.0_a1 on my xperia sp, since the cyanogen recovery is useless I decided to install philz touch ( just found the v.6.10 ) by the command line and fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

It was installed successfully, but after restarting the cellphone stayed on SONY logo and didn't boot at all. wiping data and Dalvik cache didn't succeed, so unfortunately I had to return to cyanogen recovery rom and now it's fine. Is there any way to have philz and tangerine together on my cellphone?

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

First of all read my previous post and follow the below procedure to flash an img recovery rom:

0- read this page (just method 1):

dottech.org/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone

1- turn off your cellphone, while holding vol up connect the usb cable to usb port (the light bar will turn to blue and this means you are in a fastboot mode)

2- Create a folder in windows and named it "Androidzoom" (I don't know why) and copy philz.img into it.

3- Hold shift and right click on the folder and select "open command window here"

4-CMD will open and you should type: fastboot flash boot philz.img

5-reboot your device with "fastboot reboot"

6- Turn on your device and press vol down to enter to recovery mode

if it's possible upload the philz 6.59, tanx in advance

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoozope:
Hi friends,

I have just bought Moto G 2nd generation smart phone with 16 gb internal memory. To root device, I tried to unlock bootloader. But it didn't go smooth. When I hit command fastboot oem unlock <key>, I got success message with status Device unlocked. Status 3.

But what the heck this status 3?. I am not getting any info about this.

Google search is showing that, at time of unlocking bootloader, few messages are shown like 'unlocked' then 'restarted' and device restarts. But this didn't happen with me. So I manually restarted my device for custom recovery. And flashed rom using TWRP2.7.1.1-titan-motog-2014. This command also showed me success message. Before this I copied UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip in device.

But after restarting and hitting recovery, device is not showing any thing and just black screen and then turning off.

Apart from this device is working fine, with normal boot.

P.S. RootChecker is showing that Root access is not properly installed on this device.

So what is the way out to root the device again properly?

Thanks in advance.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reefuge:
Status=0 is Locked never been unlocked

Status=2 is relocked HAS been unlocked

status=3 is UNLOCKED

you will never get status 0 back its a once only condition (some says a poly fuse blows- i personally think it's more a case of write once memory has a marked added, and thus cant be reverted back)

but dont worry there is no need to relock boot loader to 2 (as 2 and 3 both void warranty)

Boot loader lock or unlock has NO relation to being able to receive OTA updates or installing them.

TWRP is now 2.8.40 for moto g 2014 use search

super su is now 2.45 again search

Just read another post where it was mentioned that technically the different ROM versions floating around on the site are illegal.

In some sense I can see that this might be true! after all, its well known that this site won't tolerate warez... but its fine for beta/non-beta ROMS to be cooked and made freely available to anyone with compatible devices...

Don't get me wrong... I'm all for it and envy all of our cooks - if I could understand how to do it I would!!! I'm just wondering what the true legalities are?

Please don't shoot me :o
[General Topics] Rudegar:
lots of views on the matter here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=294142&highlight=legal

"And WM6 for free? I'd say that's piracy. You do pay for at least to upgrade from Windows XP to Vista?"

this statement is not really true because ms sell vista and vista upgrades

nor ms or htc or any of the OEM's of the htc devices have ever sold upgrades ms stay out of it 100% htc (pre them selling themselfs) always just made basis roms and given them to the operators to customize and give users free
[General Topics] CWKJ:
If it is being sold and we used it without buying, that's illegal, just like the computer situation.

In PPC situation, how can it be legal or illegal when it is not sold in the first place?
[General Topics] levenum:
"True" legalities are simple: M$ has copyright on this material so though I am not a legal expert of any kind I am sure they will have no trouble proving in court that even simple redistribution of ROMs without any alteration by a non authorized party such as this site is illegal.

Then again, since neither M$ nor the OEMs (not jut HTC) don't bother with updates unless a given device is really unstable so they need to fix some bugs and you can never by a newer OS even if your device supports it I thinks this is basically "fare use".

After all it is a dirty commercial trick to force people to by new hardware at ridiculous prices just to keep the software up to date.
[General Topics] Lurker0:
Violating patents is illegal,while they are not sold. Violating GPL is illegal, while the product covered by GPL is free. So "not sold" means nothing.

You might know that in modern world nobody sells software itself. They sell or give away licenses on its use. When you buy such a software, it is written on the envelope: "By opening blah-blah-blah" and you accept the license this way. It is not a case with my TyTN! I didn't have to accept a license before starting to use the software. Same with firmware of several devices on the market.

If there are no any contractual relationships between me and the owner of the rights on this software, I violate nothing by using it on a way of my choice.

Well, stolen betas is of different kind: the person who first started to distributed it violated NDA or something like. It is known. So I can't disagree it's illegal.

When you download a firmware update from the vendor, you amy have to accept a license. If you have done, then cooking from it may be illegal.

But I see nothing illegal when no an agreement was accepted.
[General Topics] agovinoveritas:
I think the answer is not quite as simple. Is it legal? Well, technically it is not.

A lot of copyright law could and would defend this point.

However in this world of ours, not everything is about the law. Especially when money is involved.

Having MS and HTC simply say that if you want to taste WM6 that you have to buy a new gadget is not illegal. In fact as the owners and the licenser this is completely their right to do. Sh!tty? Sure! But why not? It is their right, and for us to use WM6 because we don't want to pay does NOT make it right.

The fact of the matter is the number of users who will be upgrading to WM6 through cooked ROMs is rather small and honestly not worth their trouble.

They know most people will buy the software legally. They know that most of their serious buyers will be corporations who will buy it legally. AND ultimately, they WANT people to work and spread their software as much as possible.

Sure they are loosing money doing that --very little in the large scheme of things-- but ultimately, they win because they (US) spread knowledge and we create future customers. Since eventually most of us will upgrade hardware and if when we do, we will most likely stick with WM rather than lets say go to Nokia's Symbian.

They are not stupid and this is why they have not tried to shut down XDA Developers outright for even hosting ROM cookers who are obviously working on leaked versions of their software.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
the only skin of htc and ms's nose is that people may not replace their phones as fast

but then same would be true for pc's if they too were made not to have os upgraded

operators like orange and tmobile and the likes could not care less

sim unlocking a phone harm them much much more since that imply that you will stop using the service that they make money on
[General Topics] levenum:
An interesting historical fact: back when home computer was a new concept and Apple and IBM just began their competition Apple made a tactical mistake: They prevented others from duplicating the BIOS of their machines (I don't remember if this was a legal or technical issue, it's been a while since I saw the documentary). They still do it afaik.

The result: "IBM compatible" clones popped up all over the place at a much cheaper prices then the original (in fact who owns "real" IBM today anyway?) which caused the PC architecture to spread and made MACs an endangered species.

It is the same with (desktop) windows: because there are so many cracked versions floating around ever since 3.11 (maybe even before) it gained so much popularity it became almost standard.

So basically M$ owns their success to piracy. After all some people will not by their crap - if they can't get it for free they will use something else, while the major customers (namely corporations, public facilities etc.) would still purchase it legally even if there were no protection measures.

P.S.

agovinoveritas: if you check the 'About' icon in your control panel you will find a nice fat copyright statement. And as copyrights are something you agree to automatically by using a software product (no need to sing / click or even have a warning on the box) MS still has a way of telling you what you can and can not do with the ROM of your device.
[General Topics] paulrockliffe:
MS don't even need that copyright statement. Copyright isn't something that needs to be asserted, it exists regardless.
[General Topics] agovinoveritas:
Yes, old news. Everybody who is a tech-head in here knows this. But how is that relevant to my statements?

For those savvy people, you know that by the mere fact that you created something, technically you are protected by intellectual copyright law.

However we are drifting from the main point.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Paget96:
Disable CPU rendering & Enable full GPU rendering

This work only with Adreno200​

I do some research and found that the device work better if you disable CPU rendering.

Introduction:

The UI of android keeps improving as updates from the android team keep flowing in. There has been a massive improvement in the aesthetics and looks of the system UI from the ancient Eclair till Jelly Bean. With improving UI and better graphics the system keeps becoming an resource hog. All android smartphones these days come with a separate GPU to satisfy the graphics rendering needs of the apps these days. However the GPU doesn’t exactly help in rendering of the system UI that means the load falls of the CPU to render the system UI and other system framework.

so here is a Mod that will disable CPU rendering and enable full GPU rendering,which will let you enjoy the true power of your adreno200!

Improvements:

-Improved performance.

-Blazing speed.

-Better sound quality.

-Improved responsiveness.

-Smoother UI experience.

-Some apps(bloatware) that earlier ran slow like Facebook will turn snappy.

-Free up CPU for other tasks.

requirements:

-Rooted device

-File manager with root permission

-Little brain xd

1) MAKE A NAND BACKUP OF YOUR ROM. Just in case something would go wrong

2) To disable CPU rendering the ONLY things to do are:

- with a file manager with root access go to system/lib/eg

- open the file egl.cfg. DELETE everything inside the file but keep this line: 0 1 adreno200

- Set the permission to rw-r--r-- for the egl.cfg file.

- rename libGLES_android.so to libGLES_android.so.bakfrom egl folder. Don't delete it so if there is an issue with your ROM you can revert back to this file.

- REBOOT

That's all you have to to to disable CPU rendering. Depending on the ROM you are using you'll see some improvements or not (compile the poll on the top of the page)

In addiction to this explanation, disabling CPU rendering reduce battery juice!

This mean that your device will drain some battery.

Set the permission to rw-r--r-- for the egl.cfg file.

What might you benefit from? So far this is what I noticed.

- performance boost

- speed boost

- increased responsiveness

- better audio quality

- apps such as Facebook that would become slow and unresponsive are suddenly blazing fast
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] hellfoot:
let me try this first and see if it will be better... ☺
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ssurell:
So this is better than "Force GPU rendering" in Developer options?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Loulou-13:
the "opposite" ! ;)

this option is to force the rendering to always switch-on this one......and it's highly recomended to definitively disable it .

It affects battery? :confused:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XaveT:
I realize very few people probably use this tablet anymore, but I dug it out so I figured I'd try it back on Stock.

What I'm seeing is that 5699 was the last build released by Viewsonic. The sites mentioned in all the threads I've read do not exist anymore for downloads to it though.

Does anyone have a working link to an update.zip for build 5699? I'm on BL 1.2, and I'm thinking that If the "official" sites don't exist, I'm not going to be able to get OTA updates anyway, even if I go back to BL 1.1 and get a ROM to work there.

Thank you for your time!

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Culluh:
I have a Cricket Moto G running Android 4.4.4 kitkat.

I have setup and run ADB and Fastboot so that I could use wakelock with the phone tethered to my pc. I'm not savvy when it comes to this sort of thing or understand completely what I am doing. Please take it easy on me. This is a weird issue. I have had experience with two first gen moto g's and they had awesome battery life.

Wakelock detector is showing under kernal wakelock that a android program "CT406wake" has woken my device up 3465774 times. awake 83% of the time. ctawake 100% red bar. It kills my phone from 100% in hours while it's suppose to be in sleep mode. I have done a factory resest of the phone multiple times and that didn't solve my issue. I really could use help sorting this. My phone is basically useless at this point as it drains so fast when it's not plugged in. I've never rooted a phone or anything or know if that's even an option on this phone. I am open to anything at this point.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Culluh:
Nevermind. I am sorry. I have been at this for 24 hours almost. The phone has been tethered to my desk is the reason I have never noticed the issue until recently. Motorola is going to replace it. I am in a live chat with them, I did find one thread on the issue that was very close to mine. I did a reset and wiped cache partition while we were in chat. Had done it multiple times yesterday. In 3 minutes ct406_wake did something 111000 times. Awake the whole time when it should have been sleeping / hibernating. Wish I knew what the problem was.

I am curious as I have put a lot of time into trying to sort this issue out. I only see one other issue like mine in Google but with a 1st gen. They don't know either and just got a replacement. Phone has literally sat on my desk for a month. Never been dropped. Whatever ct406_wake is. It's making a stupid amount of requests. The phone is warm even when the screen is off. Like I had been gaming on it or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] XDA Visitor:
hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy S4 sgh-i1337M with Fido in CAanda. I would like to Root and enjoy my phone as it should be.

Before doing anything, I checked for software update on the phone in settings, and there is one that is 100.01 MB. Looking up that size, I think it has something to do with this number (my modem version??):

I337MUMUFNK1 -- which comes up when I search google for an update of that size which is OTA and for my phone.

Samsung and Fido and Google say to call the 'others' as they do not know what this update is for. WTF! Nobody knows what the update is for??

------------------------------------------

My phone info:

I am on 4.4.2

SGH-I337M locked to Fido in Canada

BASEBAND: I337MVLUFNE1

KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758

DPI@SWDD5823 #1

BUILD: KOT49H.I337MVLUFNE1

------------------------------------------

The baseband seems to be what the update will modify??? (ignore this if its dumb)

MY QUESTION:

Should I root the way it is now and disregard the latest update?

Should I update the phone now, as I won't be able to receive OTA updates in the future and then Root? (I know I can always do whatever I want after rooting.....

it would still make sense to do this update now, then root as its just easier that way).

Thank you in advance to everyone who knows the answer to this and responds!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Hey I've done some research and this seems to be the best phone for me. But I have some questions first.

1. Is there any development for stock Android (that is, not AOSP or CM, but rather Google Experience Android like on Nexus devices with Google Apps instead of AOSP apps and Google Launcher and all that Nexusy Googley stuff instead) ROMs?

2. Would such a stock Android ROM let me use the hardware buttons instead of on-screen buttons?

3. Will someone invite me please? Or at least direct toward my best opportunity for receiving an invite?
