[Verizon HTC One (M8)] curb42:
I have a Verizon HTC One M8 that can still power on, but will only go to the black screen with an HTC logo in the center and a triangle with an exclamation mark in each of the four corners. This happened while returning my phone to stock. My computer disconnected from the phone half-way through pushing an RUU flash. The cable wasn't unplugged, the computer just made the disconnect sound and the flash stopped. The phone is not recognized as an adb device, but it is recognized as a fastboot device. This gives me some hope that the phone can be recovered, but any attempt to flash an RUU gives me the error: cannot load "file-name". Any suggestions?

Just to help out anybody trying to figure this out:

The phone will not enter recovery

The phone enters something akin to the recovery page if I disconnect it from the PC, but the only option is RUU and pressing the power button will not do anything (picture attached)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MotoTurbo:
Once you see the triangle you hold volume up then tap power. Try rebooting your PC, pushing that file takes some ram and a reboot will fix it, also try using the adb and fastboot files from dottats s-on ruu thread. Its in the first post i believe and modify your commands to look like this "HTC_fastboot oem rebootRUU" (without the quotes) ect.........itll help the ram issue. Thanks [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] for showing me this. Try that and report back.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] curb42:
Interesting, I didn't even know there was a version of adb specifically for HTC phones, though, I actually did this to my phone before that thread was ever made (never got around to trying to fix it until now). I'm at work right now, but I'll try it when I get home and update, thanks for the tip!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
And if you run into any issues hit me up... i can help you out remotely.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] curb42:
Just got home and ran the RUU with the HTC fastboot and it worked! At least I'm assuming so, I'm at the Verizon splash screen right now. Thanks so much for your help guys (and to HTC)!

Funnily enough, the soft brick worked out for me. If I hadn't bricked it I would have sold it months ago. I'm on a Droid Turbo now and I think I like the M8 better. So thanks again and I'll update if for whatever reason it's still messed up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MotoTurbo:
Awesome man, glad you got it working. Also you can try a factory reset after ruu if you've flashed a bunch of Roms and have iffy data
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bond_bhai:
Hi guys,

Wanted to know if there any apps or workarounds which switch off data automatically. I know there are apps which turn off data when the screen is locked and such, but what I need is something more specific. I read quite a few "articles" and news snippets which are fairly long, which might take around 2-3mins to completely read. Is there an app or a floating widget which can disable the data during this period and enable it back when required? I am fine with some sort of "floating" button which hovers over and I can manually disable the data.

Thanks!

Thinking about buying one of these??? Having always owned Nokias and hating the new Windows phone this seemed the natural replacement to my 808PV which I had stolen. So I bought one off ebay from Hong Kong, delivery was quick but came with Chinese firmware installed, including some chinese apps, so I flashed it with the latest firmware off navifirm I chose product code 059V779.

Flashing was easy using this great guide here >>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2668005

Rather than immediately putting on Google Play and changing the launcher I wanted to see what the Nokia/Windows Android thing was like. Having used it for a couple of days I can honestly say, other than the fact I liked the main homescreen scrolling downwards, fastlane was pretty rubbish and needless and the app layout was not great either. Having tried multiple different launchers my favourite by far is the S Launcher, great on battery too.

I tried to continue using it without Google Play, as I read the moment Google gets on your phone all its little ram hungry processes will drain the battery, and although this may be the case a bit, having google play is way better as many apps such as banking apps here in the UK are only available through the play store. Worth it even for the small increased battery drain.

For that use the guide here works great. >>> http://xdaforums.com/nokia-x2/general/tool-nokia-x2-tools-1-1-rus-en-rooting-t2846570

Seems a real pity Nokia never marketed these phones much in Europe as they stand up really well to similarly priced androids, anyway I'm really happy with mine and I'd recommend it to anyone, App compatibility seems to be about 95% and its an opportunity to own something a bit unique and quirky.

If anyones got any questions feel free to ask or PM me, not seen many UK Nokia X2 owners so more than happy to share my experiences/knowledge.

I posted my screenshots up here >>> http://xdaforums.com/nokia-x2/themes-apps/info-post-screenshots-t2826693/post58965952#

Nokia X2 is low-quality device. But it's has got low price. :) Nokia X2 for Third World countries only (include East Europe and Russia).

Also today you may get better device with same price. I didn't recommended by this device :p
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
Since pepole have no knolege of what they are doing and kind of blame me for it i will not provide the images anymore.

Please lock this thread.
[LG G Watch R] _tek_:
First, woohoo!

Flashing now, thanks bud!

EDIT: Hey Bunny, maybe I'm missing something. Where are those bootloader images available?
[LG G Watch R] kashortiexda:
[MENTION=314272]bunny0007[/MENTION] is this pre-rooted, or stock ?
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
All the bootloader files are in the ota file.

Yes this is stock system partition with root.
[LG G Watch R] Moe5508:
So then this point is moot then?

"...Since the 5.0.2 update contains new bootloader and stuff, you might have to flash those if neccesary...." it happens automatically when you do the single system flash?

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Is there a mirror link? Dev-Host seems to have been jacked by some crazy redirect malware...or maybe its just me...
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
I flashed the ota file before i made the system dump.

Im not sure if the new bootloader an stuff are required for this update, but the ota are not a new rom, just patched files, no new boot image or recovery image.
[LG G Watch R] Moe5508:
Am stuck in fastboot mode and can't get into ADB mode anymore to be able to do a sideload...any idea how to flash that OTA zip file in fastboot? Anyone got the boot and recovery images extracted?
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
The only way to flash the ota file are from stock non rooted 5.0.1 via sideload from recovery.

You might fastboot flash stock 5.0.1 system, boot and recovery, then you shuld be able to flash the ota from recovery.
[LG G Watch R] akaHardison:
Thanks for the bootloader stuff.But in flash.cmd.It should "fastboot flash sbl1 bootloader.sbl1.img"rather than "sb11".you can change it.then everyone can flash the newest sbl1:)
[LG G Watch R] fronc:
I just caught that, too. sb11 should read "sbl1" (SBL1) in the commands list when flashing the "bootloader stuff", otherwise you'll get an error that sb11 partition does not exist.
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
yep have changed the error in new zip :)
[LG G Watch R] b0gd4n:
[MENTION=314272]bunny0007[/MENTION] can you please post a step by step guide for how to flash this?

I am on rooted 5.0.1 and do not understand the order, or not even which imgs are necessary to flash?
[LG G Watch R] Spleeno:
you reboot to bootloader mode, flash boot/system/recovery and also dl his bootloader stuff and flash all of those (he included a .cmd with all the fastboot commands)
[LG G Watch R] BostonDan:
When I go to the devHost to download this system, I hit the "download" button and it takes me to spam where it asks me to download a 1-MB file that is called system-rooted.img.zip.exe.

Is the link bad, or am I just being a noob? I'm expecting a 256 MB img file with the stock 5.02 system rooted, not a 1 MB executable file with a deceptive name.

Any assistance appreciated.

Cheers,

B.D.
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
Just uncheck the "Download with Dev-Host Download Manager" box.
[LG G Watch R] b0gd4n:
hey, so boot then system and then recovery, followed by the bootloader stuff, in this order, right?
[LG G Watch R] bunny0007:
Boot into fastboot, then make sure you can use fastboot from windows in cmd shell.

Then use this to flash

1. Unzip and flash bootloader stuff with cmd file.

2. Flash system with "fastboot flash system filename.img"

3. Flash boot with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

4. Flash Stock 5.0.2 recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

5. Reboot the watch

Hello,

Please try this driver in manual mode, it should work great.

Thanks. Tried it but nothing other than unknown usb device. I think I already tried this driver as well and nothing seems to work. Literally tried every usb driver for almost every manufacturer :/

You should also try to change your usb cable.

You can actually use a lot of the knowledge in the forum regarding the HTC TyTn (Hermes 200) as your phone is similar... I believe the 6700 is just the Verizon version of the TyTn; just like Cingular's 8525...

Hope this helps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stslivealoha:
Aloha-

I have a Galaxy Nexus Verizon SCH-i515, rooted with a vanir rom. Today, i noticed that my LED Notification light is always on, and stays green. Upon removing the battery and reinserting the battery, the LED light comes on immediately without turning it on. Tried to search for similar but could find no reference other than 1 post (searched on Google) that said the charging port needed to be replaced. However, i have no issues with charging or connecting to my computer via the USB port.

Any ideas?

My S5 front camera stopped working out of nowhere.I get the error "mediasever failed.Camera needs to restart".Is there a fix for this or is it hardware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] androidddaaron:
There's various fixes this has been a noted issue to some.

1st

try a reboot.

2nd

Open Settings > Application manager and then go to Camera app. Click on Force stop, Clear data and Clear cache.

3rd

*There is a possibility that an app which uses camera functions is causing*camera failed problem on Samsung Galaxy S5. For example*flashlight apps*may cause this problem. So boot your Galaxy S5 into Safe mode. If the camera works in Safe mode, then definitely it’s an app that you have installed on your phone is causing this problem. So uninstall it.. To boot samsung galaxy s5 into safe mode – Turn off your phone. While holding the power button, keep pressing the menu key (Left of the home button)

4th

Remove SD card this can be a issue possibly something going on where pics are being saved to sd card that has issues .

5th

Try a factory reset on device .

If all fails contact Samsung could be hardware related .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] JediSky671:
I have actually tried all of these before and none worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
are you on a custom rom or are you stock?

Have you tried going back to full stock install ? Download the latest build for your phone - either the new LOLLIPOP or the previous one - you can get either one from threads here on XDA or by downloading from http://www.sammobile.com/

That should fix the problem if you havent already fixed it - if you are running a custom rom - go ahead and reflash that rom and that should fix it too.

Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sharonbw:
Hi all. My SG5 has been happily running Naked ROM for months. Battery life wasn't spectacular but struck me as normal for the amount of use. Suddenly my battery won't hold a charge. Now I'm not suggesting it has anything to do with rom! I'm just asking for advice on how to troubleshoot. Can installing custom ROMs affect battery life or is this a fluke or defective battery? I will probably have to go the warranty route so I'm freaking out about it. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] amazingasian:
Take the battery out and spin it on a hard table like a top. If the battery spins like a top, then its bad. If it doesn't, than its a good battery. Might want to consider ordering a new battery though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] norbarb:
LOL.... I need to check mine...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
Another thing to do is take the battery out and put it in an external charger. I have fixed a lot of battery problems that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sharonbw:
Fortunately, when I tried to spin my battery on the table, it didn't spin - it just flew across the room and bounced off the wall. Seems to be fine now. ;)

I did find out that mm-qcamera-daemon had gone crazy on my phone and uninstalling skype solved the problem. Good thing because I haven't the vaguest idea how to fix my phone where I can take it into the store for service lol! Maybe if i spin the whole phone hard enough it would revert to pre-hacked state?

Thank you!!!!

Thanks [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]!!!! This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. If I'm going to flash this from your other ROM, I flash Ni2 in odin, safestrap, make backup of everything, do full wipe of everything except data? flash this new ROM. Restore all but data or system? A couple questions.... If I changed the Boot animation and possibly the build.prop will that make a difference or no because I'm doing a fresh install?

Flashed & running so smoothly! Thanks so much!!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Minglesny:
I am currently running Eclipse 1.0.3 with NI2 firmware already, I noticed the Dev is saying we need to be on OA8 in order to run this ROM, but according to you, you flashed and are on NI2 and it installed and running smoothly? Am I missing something here, please confirm so I can flash it, and thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
You need to be on lollipop to use this. I could be wrong but im guessing he left the part about re flashing the oa8 kernal after the install.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Minglesny:
Thanks and yes it is confusing since the original thread takes us to the Sprint version of the ROM, [MENTION=2524656]kushpancake[/MENTION] would you mind explaning how exactly you installed the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
If coming from eclipse (or any 4.4.4) boot into SS and wipe everything but your sd card. Flash the rom then from SS boot to download mode and use odin to install the oa8 kernal or full firmware tar. Then boot normally. Let google restore your apps. It seems to be that if you restore data or from TIBU it causes issues.

Hello Everyone, i am currently trying to root my gf's Verizon S5. Her s5 was never rooted before and she just installed the latest 5.0 lolipop via upgrade. I am not a noob at rooting phones as i have rooted pretty much every phone i have ever had since 07 (windows/android). I am having a really hard time rooting her s5 and i am desperately looking for a solution so i can run this rom as it sounds great. I cant find verizon cf autoroot for s5 to root it and i tried towel and it seems i cant do that either maybe because of the latest update. Any help would be greatly appreciative. Is there another cf file from different providers that i can run that will root verizon s5? I read that you can get root by running custom rom but i dont know how that can possibly work and am afraid to brick her phone. I thought you needed to achieve root to run custom rom via custom recovery... like i said any help would be greatly appreciative

ncg link below. You shouldn't need nk2 full rom. You can use the kernels listed in the op of jkruse's stock based rom. He links to ni2 but it serves the same purpose. And you need safestrap. S5 doesn't have unlocked bootloader so you can't use twrp directly.
