Against better advice I tried to do a firmware upgrade but it failed. I know have a message saying firmware upgrade encounted an issue. Please select recovery in Kies. If I conect to Kies it says my device is not supported. Is there any software I can use to force it to install the firmware OR is there anyone here in the UK who would be willing to do it for me if I pay you. It's a samsung galaxy S4 gb-9505. OR IS MY PHONE NOW COMPLETELY F**KED :crying::crying::crying:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daedulus Minion:
Hello everyone. We all know about the built-in privacy guard in CM11S, CM12 or roms based on these for our devices. If you don't know then I would like to mention that it is an app which helps in managing permissions for apps like which app is allowed to wake up or keep awake the device, which app can acess our contacts, etc.

There are a number of threads on xda about an Android OS battery drain issue and the fix for it is denying wake permission for it from privacy guard. I didn't have the Android OS issue and rguarly got around 5hours of SOT but still I did the denying wake permissions thing. It made a small difference and my SOT improved (I know SOT is not a perfect measurement of battery stats but I am just using it for the sake of giving you an idea). I then went forward and denied permissions for most user apps installed on my device as per my requirement (without breaking functionality). Now I have the privacy guard message active for most apps I use and I have seen a fall in my battery life to 5hours SOT per charge and now I have even started getting android OS on the top few in stats. No new apps have been installed during the course of the test.

My question now is that is it possible that the privacy guard now remains active for most apps trying to block it from accessing whatever permissions I have disabled for it and in turn eating up more battery than all these apps combined used to? I am obviously going to do my own tests by resetting privacy guard to default too but I thought of asking fellow XDAians too about what they think about this.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I don't think it's Privacy Guard that's draining your battery, but it could be a side effect of denying permissions for apps that don't really need it.

Hi all,

I never posted so much here, but for years you have been my guide to root and hack all my phones.

So, just for hobby, I've started developing CM12 themes

To thank you for all your help, I want to share the first theme I've done.

I know is not perfect, I'm still working on it so any suggestion will be appreciated.

I read te rules of the forum, so this is the complete version actually present on the play store.

I leave the link to the paid version if someone would like to donate, I kept the price very low, I don't want to become rich, but I need a hand to pay my car ;)

Hope you enjoy my work

thanks!

[Moto X Q&A] marbertshere:
Hi, I want to flash cm12 on the Moto X (2013) Verizon Dev Edition that I just got. I know that I have to flash CM11 first, then CM12. I tried going to download.cyanogenmod.org looking for a stable CM11 ghost build. However, all of the links are broken (including for nightly CM11). Links for other devices work.

I have two questions:

1.) What's the difference between "ghost" and "moto_msm8960" ? Under the wiki for moto_msm8960 it says that it is also known as "ghost". So which one do I need to flash for my device?

2.) Does it matter if I flash a nightly, snapshot, or milestone build of CM11?

Thanks!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirenosslrak:
Hi.

As title says Incoming phone calls not associated with contacts.

What ive tried:

* restore to previous date via google contacts on the web - unsuccessful

* restore to previous twrp backup - this works but as soon as i sync with google it brakes

* again restore to previous twrp backup but before i sync i export my contacts and delete all contacts via the web to import then sync. - this was ok but as soon as i sync with google it brakes again.

im out of ideas, anyone who has a better one to solve this? :(

Phone is a Galaxy s4+ i9506 running Cyanogen 12: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9506-develop/cyanogenmod-12-0-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9506-t2988464

My guess for when this started is after running Contacs Sync Fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.ivary.ContactsSyncFix&hl=en - which was supposed to fix contact sync errors. I did have a backup of my contact data but as soon as i setup a google account and it syncs it brakes. In retrospect instead of running this app i should have just removed the account then readded it. You live and you learn.....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Wipe all and flash a STOCK ROM.

2. Go to GMAIL and log in your account of Google. Modify or delete the contacts you wish (like in the pic attached). Don't restore any backup coz seems corrupted or with bugs.

3. Log in to your account of Google (gmail) in your android and you are done.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirenosslrak:
thanks for your reply! I however did a slightly different option instead of installing stock rom i wiped sys/data and boot flashed with cm and finally when restoring from titanium backup only selected a few apps being careful NOT to select anything to do with call log or contact.. sofar so good! Thanks for the hint :)

Hi guys, after spending ages trying to get the right files to Downgrade, then waiting 12 hours to download the correct firmware from Chinese forums that D/L at 20kbps - I ahve decided top share my Dropbox folder with you so you can access all you need :)

This is all you need to Downgrade the 858HK to 10d, then root it and install TWRP (I used Flashify off the PLAY STORE to install TWRP)

I hope this helps (if it does say thanks)

2. Root it with Stump-v1.2.0 and install SuperSu.apk

3. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 using this apk (there are few words in Chinese when you open apk but very intuitive) D858_TWRP_2.8.1.0

5. Flash via recovery UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Once TWRP 2.8.1.0 is installed you can also upgrade it to twrp-2.8.5.1_d858-bumped

[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] InsaneNutter:
A friend has asked me to look at this Nokia Lumia 520, apparently it turned on one day and displayed this error message "unable to find a bootable option. Press any key to shutdown"

Nokia Software Update for Retial recognises the phone and says software can be installed:

This downloads fine and starts the install process, however always fails with the message "phone not supported by nokia software updater retail"

I have also tried using NaviFirm+, searching for the product code 059S3T5 which lets me download the RM914_3058.50000.1425.0006_RETAIL_eu_euro1_327_06_452364_prd_signed firmware.

However i'm unable to flash this with the Nokia Care Suite, it states: 0xFA001106: Signature check of FFU file fails. Reason(s): The FFU file is not correctly signed or not signed for this device.

Has anyone got any suggestions on what else i can try to flash this firmware? or to try fix the phone?

I was following the tutorial here Flash/unbrand Lumia devices thinking if the firmware was re flashed all would be fine.

Cheers for any advice :)

As far as I read, JTAG is a toolbox for repairing Phones which have the same problem, but what we are trying to do is without this toolbox, we have a dead phone at home.

I don't want to buy the toolbox just to repair my Lumia 520, I don't need it, I'm just a home user not a repairing company... :)

Error using FFU

Hi,

I tried your procedure. I am getting Error Using FFU. Try an FFU image which matches with your phone.

I downloaded the FFU using WPRT and its name is RM914_3058.50000.1425.0001_RETAIL_im_india_269_01_444377_prd_signed.ffu

What should I do now?

I have put the proper hex file and sbl3
[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] A AJAY:
ok..

1] which phone you have?

2]are you enable the root access using WPInternals? if yes then

==>>> collect the files(original ffu , sbl3 , hex ).

=====================================================

the procedure is some type of kinda or trick thats works for me.

run WPInternals >>connect usb cable>>just soft reset your phone

if the phone detected by the wpinternals then go to next step

proceed to unlock bootloader > at that time WPInternals hangs do not worry. > remove usb cable >again start wpinternals > connect usb > softreset your phone > u can see the green screan / flashing mode. > again proceed for unlock boot loader > n done

No, I cant enable root access because I first need to unlock the boot loader to do that. And when I try to do that, I get the error saying the ffu doesn't match with my phone. But I have downloaded the correct ffu using wprt. And the sbl3 and hex files are also correct. They have worked for others.
