[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
Totally out of the ordinary question but was just wondering. I have flashed many Roms on this phone and every time I do a clean install of a ROM I go through the setup and then get to the screen that says "restore from backup". But it is not recent, it only shows me a backup I did before I modded the phone and installed a customer recovery and ROM and its from 2 months ago. Anyway to fix this that anyone would know? I'd appreciate it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try disabling the back up option then reenable it. i always flash dirty, and dont lose any data or apps :angel:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
Yeah when I dirty flash of course things just stay but if I go from ROM to ROM or do a clean install of a ROM it doesn't give me a backup option aside from 40-50 days ago... Any ideas anyone?

There's already a thread on this buried somewhere, but no there's no known fix. My best guess is that it doesn't work on non stock roms.

[XDA Assist] enigmaamit:
Have you verified MD5 checksum of the zip you have downloaded? It's possible the zip may be corrupt, so my first advice would be to either confirm MD5 integrity or re-download the zip and try again. Also, remove any spaces in the file name.

I'm also not sure you are flashing the right kind of zip. Is this a custom ROM or a stock firmware? If it's the former case, follow instructions above. If it's the latter, then you need to extract the zip file and flash the .tar.md5 file contained inside using ODIN to get this firmware. You cannot flash full firmware via recovery.

If you're not sure what all of this means, I'd suggest you head on to your device forum and ask around. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/help

If you got it through OTA then do a factory reset..it is even recommended by Google..

Factory reset will NOT wipe your rom back to kitkat.

This is the issue that is raised in the issue tracker. I have this problem, the only way to stop it from dying is to keep a constant wake lock on the device which drains battery. I might have to try a custom ROM over the weekend to see.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakebar:
Same problem on mine. Sleep of death at random, especially when charging the device. Also, rebooting while doing onerous tasks (such as time lapse recording or GPS navigation).

v5.1.1 seems to have reduced the chances for these problems to occur, but I still happen into them. And if you set a wake up alarm on the phone and it goes into sleep of death during the night, it is not pleasant at all.

I've sent the Nexus 4 to LG tech support because of the power button that is not working correctly, and mentioned the other two problems, even if I don't think LG can do anything on issues that seem to be software related.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
Thank you, Lord! I though it was just me. The bug can be reproduced if you try to upload a video in Facebook Messenger app. The black screen is 100% guaranteed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakebar:
I've just done that a hour ago, that didn't happen.

BTW in the meanwhile since my last reply I've sent my Nexus 4 to customer service two times, the second time was because LG Italia didn't fix the button issue, while they replaced mainboard and battery. During that week before sending the smartphone back to CS for the second time, I've never experienced a SOD (updated via OTA from 4.3 to 5.1.1, being under Lollipop for the whole week).

I've had it back two days ago, chart saying battery and mainboard have been replaced again, button has (finally been fixed) and... ta-dan! Another SOD yesterday, after 24 hours of activity (after a while afternoon of OTA updates from 4.3, again.

I'm glad to see that in the meantime the Issue 79942 has been moved to requesting more info first and assigned then. But that Priority-small makes my nose writhe...

I'm wondering if one can fix it by flashing a different kernel. I can't read of people suffering from SOD on, say, CM 12.1, so it's likely that a different ROM won't have this issue, who knows about only switching kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjb2:
I had stock SOD for a while, keeping a wake lock active stopped it but did eat through battery. Flashing hells-Core kernel (leaving the rest stock) fixed the issue for me, no wake lock needed.

I am currently using hC-b83-L with no issues, and no SOD.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2BNDatte:
Hello!

I bought my mom an inexpensive S4 and it came with Orange wireless service provider and it's in French out for the box.

It's having some problem suck as MMS issues and all that, not to mention it's just being a pain in the butt to work with.

I want to flash the stock AT&T ROM to it ASAP so she will stop yelling at me about it, but I can't seem to find a copy around here. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong areas, but I would appreciate some help locating it, thanks!

Also, it's been a while since I have done any ROM changes, so maybe showing me how they do it now would be helpful as well, thanks.

-Dave M.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
AT&T ROMs cannot be installed on your phone. Odin will reject it at best, and you could hard brick the S4.

Unlock the phone by using the service menu exploit, RegionLock Away, or by purchasing an unlock code. Once the S4 is unlocked, you can install an unbranded firmware in place of the Orange-branded firmware. Keep in mind that this phone will never get LTE in the states as the frequencies are different.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2BNDatte:
Yes, I was made aware of the no 4G, no LTE issue with using a European phone by the guy who didn't know what he was doing when he programmed in the wrong APN settings at the AT&T corporate store...

Supposedly, the company I bought it off said this phone was unlocked already, so what then? It's been about 2 years since I did anything with ROMs, so I might be a little out of the know about the new stuff, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If it's already unlocked, then you can install any I9505 stock ROM you want. Download this ROM from Sammobile and follow the instructions on that page to install it. It's UK firmware so at the language prompt it will default to English. Be aware that you may have to flash the ROM twice before the S4's wireless radios function properly.

If everything goes as expected the APN should be automatically set. If not there are tutorials all over the place on adding an APN.

EDIT: Download the drivers from Samsung's website if not included in the Odin download on Sammobile. You'll need to have them installed for Odin to function.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2BNDatte:
Thanks. Now, how can I check to make sure this one is unlocked? Service mode is weird, because I had to do the Q followed by 0000 in key input to get it to give me the menu...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Put your Mom's AT&T SIM into the phone. If it asks for an unlock code then the S4 is still carrier locked.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2BNDatte:
Oh, okay. It's been working for like 2 months like this, lol.

Aren't there still a few carriers that aren't blocked for other regions? I just want to be sure, absolutely. I just want to know if there's another way to check.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3cr0w:
Since it was Orange by origin (and those guys tend to lock stuff) I would say you would NOT be able to run AT&T on it as well (Orange ONLY lock - not really region lock)

When you say AT&T works I would assume previous owner already did what was needed and unlocked this device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2BNDatte:
Sounds solid, thanks a bunch, fellas.

I just really wish there were a touchwiz ROM from AT&T for this particular model...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No, no you don't. If anything, you have it far easier by not having AT&T firmware. Unless of course you happen to LIKE encrypted (i.e. locked) bootloaders. AT&T and Verizon lock their bootloaders, which makes the simple things like rooting, bloatware removal, and custom ROMs far more difficult, and in some cases bordering on the impossible.

Your Mom may not give a damn, but by not having to deal with the headache of a locked bootloader you've made your life easier.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2BNDatte:
I've dealt with several so-called finished custom roms, such as the likes of such as Cyanogenmod and others, and lets just say they aren't quite as solid as the stuff that the phone comes with.

There's always something that doesn't work like it's supposed to or some important app that won't work somehow. Last time, I went with a stock rom, custom recovery (I like TWRP) and rooted the device and it ran just like I wanted. SO yeah, I'd like to use a stock touchwiz rom for the US if it's available somewhere.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I understand not wanting to toss a custom ROM on the phone, but that wasn't the point of my post. The ROM I prompted you to download several posts upthread is a stock Touchwiz ROM. In fact, up until this morning it was the same ROM I was using on my O2 I9505 that I'm using here in the US. As the I9505 is not available and never will be available from a carrier in the United States, there will never be a US ROM available for this phone. The ROM I had you download, unlike the AT&T ROM, has no carrier branding of any kind, no carrier bloatware, and no locked bootloader. As a result, you don't have the carrier meddling around with the ROM and making the experience worse by having crud added.

My point is, bluntly, that you're far better off now than you would be with an AT&T device. So, hopefully, now that you got everything sorted out your Mom can enjoy the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrWOOhooh:
I have Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon.

Rooted with Kingo ROOT.

I was trying to install a custom ROM so I had to download ROM Manager to install Clockworkmod Recovery and installed CWM.

After doing so, however, whenever I try to go into recovery mode, a screen with SECURE FAIL: KERNAL, a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, and the message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help" comes up.

Then the the only way to access the device is to go to download mode and then cancel it because if I try to turn the device on the normal way, it keeps on going to recovery mode and the fail message.

I installed an app that checks whether or not CWM is installed or not. It says it's not installed. So, I tried manually installing CWM using a computer, but when I type in "fastboot devices", nothing shows up. I tried everything including pdanet and other stuff but none work.

I can't even factory reset or anything.

Don't know what to do.

I just want to install a custom ROM.

Please help. I have been stuck on this problem for days.

First off, I apoligize if this has been mentioned before. I did do a search and looked at a few pages to find that this hasn't really been brought up much. Or at least not often or recently.

I have a M8 now, but I gave my old M7 to my dad whos been attempting to use it (and enjoyed it while it worked fine.) But now the phone will reboot itself almost every 10 minutes no matter what I do.

I have

- Unlocked the Bootloader

- Relocked Bootloader and ran an RUU

- Unlocked Bootloader and Installed Custom Rom (AHRD)

all of which have not fixed the constant reboot problem. I was wondering, could the issue involve the firmware of the phone? Or is it a hardware defect.

When I gave my dad the phone he had to take it to best buy to replace, assuming they gave him a refurb I am curious whether or not that could be an issue of a loose part as well.

I have not tried to install a nonsense ROM.
