[HTC Butterfly S] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
I could fix mtp but it'd require someone with the device to make a device tree.. or if someone can provide me m7 twrp device tree I could take a look, but no promises. Also is the only way to do the by-name method too
[HTC Butterfly S] migascalp:
if you explain to me how to do it I can perhaps help you

Or you can do with MDMower. he has worked extensively for TWRP on M7
[HTC Butterfly S] timurmurmur:
thx a lot, works good on cid_622 1.57 hboot stock 4.4:laugh::laugh::laugh:
[HTC Butterfly S] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Can you see if kernel supports by-name method

reboot to recovery and use its file explorer and navigate to

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/

and see if theres a folder called "by-name"

if not please tell me when your able to do a little bit of extensive testing
[HTC Butterfly S] migascalp:
No by-name support

Today, I can do some test

Name a rom from m7 that you want ported.. choose either a gpe rom or sense.

Hello!

Can someone help me on how to install the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 for Butterfly S from within the TWRP 2.7.0.0, because my USB connector only works for charging. The phone isn't detected by the PC not in the Android OS not in recovery not in fastboot mode, actually in no way it is seen by the PC.

I only want to get the latest Android version for it.

Thank you!

PS: The phone is S-OFF CID 11111111

PPS: After one hour I made it using Flashify. Maybe it'll be of some help for someone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
i'm really stuck and could use some help please.

i managed to unlock the bootloader and get CM recovery installed, but i cannot manage to get a ROM on the phone.

it's not rooted. i have attempted to sideload both CM 12 and Z1c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-114_v01.img with no success. when i boot the phone, i get a sony splash screen and then active black, but cannot connect it to my computer as a connected device as the computer does not recognize it. i am able to see the device via fastboot and adb in terminal.

i'm using a mac. i'm an extreme noob and i have no idea what to do. i have tried following the instructions on several sites, including many different areas of xda, but frankly, i'm stuck and would really appreciate help. i just want to have a working device.

running 10.9.5 on a mac mini

have installed sony bridge for mac, but it does not see a device connected.

any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

EDITED TO ADD:

ok, i fixed it. i installed (using ./adb sideload) the correct SuperSU version, and then installed (using ./adb sideload) CM12 and GAPPS 5.0.x, and it all appears to be working.

if anyone is in a similar situation, i would say, take a break, remember to breathe, and go slow. don't get frustrated. that was the deal breaker for me. once i gave myself some time and space to think about it, i figured out that what was stopping my progress was that the phone was not rooted, so i couldn't install anything on it yet. patience is key.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Flash a stock ROM with the Flashtool (read the stickys).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
unfortunately, the flashtool is for a pc, which i do not have, hence the reason i was not able to use it.

can you please recommend any kind of solution for mac?

edited to add, i did try using sony bridge for mac, and it would not recognize the phone.

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Download the Mac version then. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
there is not a mac version. the only think resembling a mac version is the sony bridge for mac, which i stated twice was not recognizing my phone.

the point is sort of moot, because i figured it out.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Wonder why there is a link to the Mac version then.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
not sure. perhaps you can show me where.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I have already given you the link to the site. In regards to your edit in the OP, you don't need to be rooted to use the flashtool.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
well, the link you previously provided me shows that the flashtool is for pc, and the mac tool, which i tried to use, was not working. i have resolved my issue, so again, it's a moot point, but if you're going to be telling me that there is a sony flashtool that is for mac, and telling me that the link you have given me is it, then i think i have to stand by what i said before.

thanks for trying to help.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratusm:
Sorry to interrupt, but...

On web page: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php you can (hopefully) see that there is Flashtool for Windows, Linux and Mac...

I really don't understand... :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
thanks for that. i was looking in the wrong place, it would have been really helpful to have had a direct link, i appreciate you providing one. probably could have saved me a very large headache, but the upside is, i was able to puzzle it out for myself and solve it, which is good for my own learning and development. so there's that.

i was looking at the sony flashtool, which only has a pc version. and i kept explaining that but clearly was not understood.

appreciate the help!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You obviously didn't look at all otherwise when told to download the Mac version you would have gone to the download page and found it, why you've not done that only you know, and the problem wasn't me not understanding you it was you thinking you know better than long time and more knowledgeable members telling you there actually is a Mac version. Anyway, you got there in the end.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chnacat:
actually, i did look. but you're going to assume whatever you assume.

i was in the midst of it, i was very frustrated and very lost, i looked at the entire page (clicking on the link for the xperia x1, maybe i was in the wrong place)

i found what i found and it wasn't the correct thing, it is what it is.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I assume what I assume based on what you wrote and once again have been shown to be right again in my assumptions, the first 3 links are Welcome, Gallery and Download, why you've not thought to click on Download is quite baffling when I suggested that you Download the Mac version, even more so when you continued to state there wasn't one, anyway.

Your issue is resolved and you've learned something new along the way.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maduro78:
I sent my tab in for screen repair and the service rep said for $199 there is a full diagnostic and all repairs will be covered. I told the rep on the phone and always left a note in the box about the battery. I get it back turn it on the battery is at 74% and the sot was 15 minutes or so. This gave me the feeling that the problem is still present. I charged the battery watched 3 hours of Netflix and battery looked good like only 18%. Surfed the web and the battery drained a percentage every a couple minutes. I turn it off last night at 48% check it this morning its at 26% turn on Netflix and 5 minutes In it shuts off. All Samsung did was fix screen and change out USB cable idk but whatever. I bought a new battery before this all happened and I'm thinking I should just change it out. For $200 repair cost I would expect to have a proper running tablet.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Try Gsam from the PlayStore. Then go from 100 to near dead and do some screen shots. Post them here. Otherwise we can only guess at your issue. You likely have wakelocks.

I'm guessing you aren't rooted?? If not, try Wakelock Detectors PC version, it can show app wakelocks without root.

I bought mine from Motorola. So its not just carrier branded phones. While talking to my at&t rep who also has a nexus 6, he suspects it could be a rooted phone issue. I replicated the issue while his phone has never experienced it. In other words, carrier branded phone nonroot vs Motorola rooted = nonroot has no issue. Rooted has issue. Coincidence? Who knows. I'm just a user.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Root alone couldn't cause this
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwh0r3:
Sorry to let a minor detail slip in the above. Root AND AT&T's all access app or whatever it is may be the problem for me. Where his nonrooted nexus didn't have any problems while having the app. Just like computers, conflicts are a PITA.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Then what's the reason it occurs on Verizon or other carrier devices?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwh0r3:
This -->

I lack a crystal ball. I can't see what causes this nor can I see a fix. I know the temporary fix for myself and maybe others. Lollipop is still in its infancy. Why else would 5.1 be coming soon? Bugs need worked out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Coincidental.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8Fishes:
I guess no one really clicked on my link. I'll post a proper quote on the subject.

I hypothesize that it is a software glitch that has never been fixed by google and they just pushed it out with some duct tape. There's a reason why it's not carrier specific and perhaps app specific if they call on a specific sequence for the video subsystem to display. It freaks out, which is why some apps can be more prone to causing it. Root will not cause this as rooting doesn't modify any files related to code driving the display.

Certain apps can cause this, like the mentioned ATT ones and Youtube. It has to deal with the display drivers.

Moto is probably accepting the RMAs because it doesn't know what else to do. It can very well be caused by hardware problems, but a faulty display driver can do the same.

If anyone has a better idea on what's causing this, I'm sure we're all ears.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeisfun:
Flar2 the developer of ElementalX gave me tip how to possibly reproduce the problem about a week ago, and it sure works most of the time even when my friend didn't see it for over a month. My wife's phone will not do it ever no matter what we tried.

Cool your phone down and it will happen, let you phone sit for long period of time in cooler environment and it will almost for sure happen.

Thanks? I'm trying to say that it has not occurred on the new device, under the same conditions, at all. Whereas it happened on two other devices (original phone from launch and a refurbished replacement) every day, multiple times.

I was one hundred percent convinced it was software, but now I question that as I literally can't even force it on this phone.

An interesting note. I use Quick Boot/Quick Boot Plus from the Play store. If this issue happens and I choose to do a Hot Reboot the split screen issue persists through the reboot. The Google startup animation only shows on half the screen.

To resolve I have to fully power down and back on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeisfun:
It should be enough to turn your screen off and back on, no need to reboot at all
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgraville:
Right. I have experienced that as well. I just found it interesting that a hot reboot did not reset whatever was causing the problem. Makes me think it is more likely hardware than software. Turn on and off screen or phone and issue resets. Reboot OS and issue does not go away.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerome Triplett:
It has been my experience that cold weather makes the problem worse. As a matter of fact, the only time my phone has done this is when I was outside in the cold. This makes me worry that it is a hardware problem, though I'm still holding out hope for a software fix. It seems that YouTube is the biggest culprit for me, though I've had it happen once while in Tasker. I also noticed some audio clipping in YouTube while the freezing was going on. A reboot cleared the problem, but within a minute it came right back.

So I got this phone brand new as a replacement after dropping mine (got insurance) , and I rooted and flashed a custom ROM and it immediately started doing it, my last one it never happened and had it for about a month. So looked around and it appeared to be a RMA issue so I called got a replacement that was supposed to be here today but bad weather delayed it till tomorrow. Anyway I flashed it back to stock re locked the bootloader ect, and it has worked flawlessly all day so I thought maybe it was software but then BAM !!!!! It just happened totally stock with almost no apps running so I'm glad I RMA this ***** cause I was starting to rethink it, let's just hope the new one doesn't do it too I will keep you posted, also this is a blue 32 gig eMMC Samsung 32 gig dram hytix

Alright so I got my replacement device which had eMMC by scandisk not Samsung and dram by hytix and I have no problem what so ever on both stock ROM and custom ROM and kernel so moral of the story is if you have this problem send that phone back for warranty, also I know that if you have tmobile even though they send it in a white box its actually a brand new device, I talked to a rep with tmobile and they said they dint have any refurbished so they are sending out brand new ones
