[General Questions and Answers] mjzakar:
I have a lg gpad v500 device

It's running android 4.4.2 stock

I wanted a custom rom to install android 5 on it

I downloaded the rom but i needed cwm or twrp or philz to flash it

When i wanted to flash cwm with stock recovery

The recovery said E: can't mount sdcard (invalid argument)

Then i tried to install twrp but i made a mistake and when i boot into recovery it says: secure boot error cause: boot certification...

Then i tried all the possible ways to reboot the stock recovery but couldn't

Flashify Pc cwm philz and everything else couldnt fix it

I then decided to reflash the stock rom to take the stock recovery back

My device is running android 4.4.2 with 20d kernel

I downloaded the 20A kdz file but couldnt flash it Because all the links in this forum were dead

Now i have a kdz stock 4.4.2 rom and a not working recovery that i need it

Can U help guys??

Hi

I have a audio problem, I was watching a movie with mxplayer, and I received a call that was blocked with Blacklist app, after this no more sound to watch films, ear music or ringtones/notifications. I have uninstalled the apps and reinstalled, boot in safemode nothing solved the problem.

Only when I changed profile to another user all works perfectly.

Any idea to put it OK again.

Thanks in advance

What's the point of nandroid backup of rom which isn't working well?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickyjusme:
What if he ends up with a boot loop? and has to flash stock image. This is always recommended.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
You don't need a nandroid to flash a stock. You need it, when you wan't to restore something that works well. Of course, probably, there is someone, somewhere that would make it opposite, but we can presume that OP isn't one of them. Or maybe I'm wrong?

So there's our new app. It originated as a joke but managed to get to Google Play though :)

Basically it allows you "check-in" in a place where you take a dump and get your poo marked on the world map.

You can instantly see if there are others nearby, add comments and pictures to your "check-ins".

There are 20+ achievements and a top list to keep things interesting.;)

Hope someone will find it funny :) Any feedback will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

P.S. I can't post a link to the app as a new user. But you can find it in Google Play by it's package id: com.eshque.crapmapapp

Hello everyone

I am experiencing really weird Android system freezes and crashing and random times. I have tested this with multiple roms (slimlp+franco and chroma+franco). I have undervolted both to -50. It seems to be more common when playing media (IE google music, YouTube).

If you point me to the logs I'll be more than happy to upload them. I would love to find out what is causing it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off questions or help go into the q&a/help section, not into general. i asked a mod to move the thread there.

2ndly, bring your voltage back where it should be. if you are undervolting to get more battery life, dont, you are wasting your time. sure, undervolting saves a little battery, but not enough for you to notice in every day use. all you are doing is causing issues for yourself.

Would you change the thermal throttling? if i raise the voltage the phone can get a little warm and i prefer it to be warmer.

And i apologize for posting this in the wrong section. Thank you for getting it moved.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thermal throttle i ALWAYS disable(or raise the temp much higher if the kernel doesnt allow me to disable it). thats odd, that you prefer your phone warmer though. to me it doesnt matter, if warmer or cooler. i just dont like the performance hit the phone takes when it does hit throttle. the phone has an automatic thermal safety shutdown as well, i let that be my safety. so, if the cpu does reach 100C(212F, the boiling point of water), the phone will either turn off or reboot. but ive never reached it yet on the n6. on the n4 and n5, it reaches it very quick, on the n6, its very hard to reach it.

Hello, I have a kyocera dura force

It came from the factory with a kernal after the June 3rd situation and I am wondering if there is any way to root it yet.

I am tired of all the bloatware apps taking up space and pretty much just flat out sucking, and I would like to be rid of them.

Last post about this phone was on dec 2014, its been two months and I am wondering if there is any progress made on this device, I know it is not super popular but the components inside of it are, I mean it has a qualcom snapdragon cpu .. which is in dam near every phone out there, so there has to be a way.

I know if you google the kernal though .. you get nothing on it "3.4.0-gea4190d"

any help would be amazing.
[General Questions and Answers] Prosis:
Hi!

I'm trying to find a way without rooting my phone to do a full backup of the ROM in order to keep my warranty and have the real version of my current ROM which I couldn't find on the Web (the only version I found didn't have LTE).

Anyway, I found that there is such a think as adb backup reading this: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices/28315#28315

With this method, am I backuping the full ROM and Bootleader? I have a Samsung with Knox so I'd like my warranty bit to be 0 if I restore.

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Mohd Azylee:

[General Questions and Answers] Mohd Azylee:
better use twrp

add twrp mod to backup data too.
[General Questions and Answers] :
To backup any partitions of an Android device people usually use Linux dd ( read: diskdump ) command what is present in all Android versions.

With this command a 1:1 bitwise copy of the partition gets created what later on can get restored to any Android device with the dd too.

Prerequisites for dd command to work:

The partition in question must got mounted as RW.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
Hi all! I just picked up a Shield Tablet from Amazon about a week ago. I'm loving this Android probably more than my Note 3 (which, of course, is rooted. Stock rooted, but I like it that way!) My Shield tablet is rooted with Towelroot, but I'm on Kit Kat 4.4.2. I have root because of AdAway & Titaninum Backup. I have those in my Note 3 & I won't live without them on any Android device I have.

Now, onto the issue here...

I want to update to Lollipop to get the OS up to date. Also, I have these two annoying "reminders" in the taskbar that a ROM update (version 5.0.1) & a Tegra OTA update, each time at bootup & as time progresses they come back as notifications, even after I clear them.

Where can I find the process of upgrading to rooted Lollipop from rooted Kit Kat 4.4.2? It doesn't matter if I have to wipe the device in the process because there's just not much in there presently. Nothing more than XBMC Gotham edition & my apps from Google Play that came from my Google account when I logged into there from my tablet for the first time. I have a micro SD card in my tablet, so I don't want to lose what's on there...but...I can always remove it in the process to keep the data.

I have TWRP on my Note 3, but I've read that there's problems with that on the Shield tablet, so CWM wouldn't be so bad.

I've got a good laptop here (a Sony Vaio) so updating & rooting the Shield tablet won't be an issue.

Point me in the right direction please? From one Android lover to another?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
What you could do (read everything):

1- Download and Flash a TWRP found here. with Flashify.

2- Factory reset, wipe everything, data, cache, system.

3- Then with TWRP flash a full OTA of the latest update (2.2.1)

4- Flash SuperSu.zip

5- Switch to .img and reflash TWRP recovery in recovery partition.

From 2 to 5 are easily done without leaving recovery to reboot.

I recommend having the supersu.zip, the full ota zip and the twrp 2.8.5.0 recovery img in the same folder.

I did something alike to move from 442 rooted to 501 rooted with locked bootloader. Except I did it with a Philz rec instead of TWRP. But I think is the same thing. Dont know the implications of unlocked bl.

PS1: Make a nandroid backup just in case.

PS2: You'll have to do almost this exact way everytime you want to update to the latest update. Except you won't have to factory reset, just wipe dalvik & cache in between. But you'll have to reflash recovery and supersu, just in case.

PS3: You won't lose anything on your external microsd card.

Things about TWRP, specifically 2.8.5.0 (haven't used 2.8.2.0):

1- Wiping cache & dalvik takes a loooong time with that TWRP (about 5 minutes). Reboot to system as well (1 minute). I make that comment so you don't think the tablet got stuck or hanged.

2- The only thing you have to avoid doing with this TWRP is Fix Permissions. Check here.

Hope you understand everything. Good luck.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Where did you get the latest OTA update file?

Could you give me a link to the Nvidia site, and I'm assuming all the newest OTA zip's (flashable through TWRP) will be there when available as well?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
I dont know how they get them, but they're not available to the public. People usually get the links from other people that post them.

Here there are full ota under OTAs --> Download Full OTA's

If some mod see this post, pleeeeaseeee, pin that topic, it's really useful.

PS: Didn't give you an Nvidia link since they only host available to the public, the image files. And you need to register to get them. That xda link is much more useful.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
The link that you posted was http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_515.3274.zip

That's "ota.nvidia.com" so it must be an official file from Nvidia's website no?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Yes. But if you try to enter ota.nvidia.com you get a 403 Forbidden. And in Nvidia.com only the image files are available to the public. And you need to sign up (and someone to authorize you) in order for you to download them.

That's what I know at least.

No Dice...

NaminatoR1254jaime.sier... I did everything you suggested, & it did not work. When it came time to reboot, I saw Andy lying on his side with a red exclamation point in his open chest & the words "no command" under him. It did nothing else. I even had to buy Flashify because of it telling me that only three flashes can be done with the free version while doing your steps. It's okay, I needed to spend the Google Play money I got as a gift last Christmas.

I held the power button down for about 10 seconds, it shut off. I then held the power button & it rebooted into Kit Kat & everything seems normal. I'm back to square one.

Suggestions?

***Edit*** The more I try the steps above, I see that flashing TWRP is causing the error I mentioned. That's where it hangs.

If it makes any difference, I have the Wi-Fi version & the bootloader hasn't been touched. I see those were not mentioned in the original post.

***Okay...double-edit!***

I now have Lollipop AND root! 5.0.1. I had to go in different order than you suggested, but all is good. Flashify to install TWRP, reboot, did NOT wipe dalvic/cache, side loaded the latest SuperSU THEN installed Lollipop ROM through TWRP, & a final reboot. Took about 10 minutes for all apps to finalize at bootup.

I've been at this all evening & all of my data/apps are there. At least Gold Rush was on TV tonight to keep me company!

I thank you for pointing me in the right direction, even though it started out badly. It's a new device, but it's still an Android. How hard could it be since I've rooted all my other Androids? :good:
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Great news!! Well done!!

Take note that to flash new updates, you'll have to do the same, with full OTAs of new updates.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepershades:
try the general section where there's an official thread on the first page, although due to xperifirm, a free software download allowing you to access almost any sony firmware direct from their servers, most firmwares are no longer uploaded - the UK generic on xda may not be the most up to date version, so accept that you're using an older firmware initially and simply update it via pc companion once installed, or use xperifirm direct (you will need to google how to run this with flashtool to get the software onto your phone, unless you've been there and bought the t shirt)...... and you don't need root to do any of this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmath75:
Hello guys, my name is Mat I'm new here and this is my first message so thank you for the help available on the forum!!

I have had a Nexus 4 for 2 years now and I was very happy with it until 5.0.1 upgrade when the phone started to bug repeatedly.

My main problem here is the Back camera. First the flash started to turn on by itself and stay on, until I turn the phone off ! it could do this several times per day, very annoying.

2nd, the camera could not be turn on, it would display an error message saying the camera is not available. It seemed to be fixed when suddenly it's just impossible to take a photo. The camera turns on fine but it doesn't take any picture. It just stands there open, but impossible to take any image...

Finally, the battery started 2 days ago to just drains by itself although in plane mode and off at night. It stay charged maybe one hour then it empties itself straight to the 5% battery alert mode !!

Any help or clue of what I can do to fix this? or should i just considerate upgrading to a Windows Phone? ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJS000:
So i've had my Nexus 4 for just over 2 years now. It's stuck by me through thick and thin, i think this might be the end though. :(

Anyway, so i picked the phone up at around 2 am this morning, it had been working perfectly all day up to this point. So i picked it up, the colours on the screen are a bit weird. I change what's on the screen and the colours remain weird, so i do the standard thing of a reboot to see if that clears it up. This is where the big issue comes in, when the phone turns on again, there's a 1 cm wide black bar on the left side of the screen. Nothing appears to affect it, but sometimes it randomly appears greyer than others.

The rest of the screen has the same weird colours as it did before i restarted, kind of muted, and moving light areas on the screen (like app icons) makes bars of lighter colour move across the screen with them.

If i didn't know that the phone hadn't been dropped i'd be saying that the screen was just broken right now. But i flashed CM12 (was on the latest PA beta) and when the phone was restarting the whole screen flashed working for a split second before going to its broken state again. This hints at the issue being software related, especially given that it initially happened with no physical damage occurring to the phone? When thinking about this, the colour issue reminds me of what happens when you installed CM11 with the wrong kernel and it looks messed up...

Anyway, I think my phone is dead, and i'm posting here in case someone has some genius idea as to what on earth killed my phone.

I'm pretty good at doing stuff with the phone, so can flash and install whatever, hindered only slightly by missing 1 cm of the recovery menu. I would take pictures, but normally i use my phone as a camera and...... If any more info would be useful then please ask!

Thanks for any help, ideas or input in advance!
