[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Kies wouldn't do you much good, as it would find Android 5.0.1 on your S4 and report that there was no update.

You may need to flash with a PIT file in order to correct this as your S4 after the Lollipop update may have had its partition information changed. If that doesn't work, you may have to bite the bullet and do a complete factory reset, which will cost you the data.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogey_man:
Thanks.

Meanwhile, I've tried on another PC too, same issues. "Complete (Write) operation failed." error in ODIN there as well.

PIT file flashing is next on the list, I guess. Any pointers as to how should I start?

And BTW, I don't know how I can wipe complete data, as now there is no way to access the stock recovery. Pressing the "up+menu+power" just opens the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error. The boot loop doesn't happen any more. Its just a soft brick now.

Update: I've tried flashing recovery.img (from both CWM and TWRP) using Heimdall. Both were not helpful.

Right...

So I was now able to flash stock 4.4.2 along with adonis.pit. This was a PASS! in Odin. However, still the device didn't boot. Stuck on the Samsung logo.

I did manage to flash CWM recovery on it and I'm now able to boot into recovery. I'll take the backup now and then try to wipe data and flash.

Hi,

i have two identical NC devices [ from the outside], but

here are the difference in the inside:

#first:

- internal storage for the apps that can't be unmounted have 0.9GB

- internal storage for the user data that can be unmounter/remounted have 5GB

#second:

- internal storage for the apps that can't be unmounted have 4.9GB

- internal storage for the user data that can be unmounter/remounted have 1GB

and i want to change #second NC internal storage to look/work as onthe #first

i read and tried this:

- changing from this

/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1	auto	auto	defaults	voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,noemulatedsd

/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0	auto	vfat	defaults	voldmanaged=sdcard0:8,nonremovable

to this:

/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0	auto	auto	defaults	voldmanaged=sdcard1:8

Also fstab.encore are identical on both devices.

but does not helped.

Can anyone help with this or point to the right dirrection ?

You are using too new of a CWM it must be older than v6045. You can find one on my Nook Color Tips thread.

Will try with older CWM, but is it possible to make .zip for newer CWM ?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, it takes a little effort to change files and make sure they work. Not worth to me the extra effort when it can be flashed with the older CWM.

RePartitioning

So i can repartition other devices

[ i know, not with this files]

just i need to know what partitions is to safe resizeable ?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Each device uses different partition structures so there is not an easy answer for this. And on top of that most newer devices do not use the DOS partition structure like the PC and the Nook Color does. Therefore fdisk will not work on them. They use a newer structure called GPT that is more robust than the DOS structure. And you must use the tool gdisk.

hello,

I once installed xposed on LG G3 via recovery before the updated version.

it was working, but only when i changed to permissive.

now with the updated xposed, when i try to install from the app itsef it says my phone not compatible.

"Xposed is not (yet) compatible with android SDK version 21 or your preccessor architecture (armeabi - v7a)

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by "/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/chache/app_proccess"; caused by library "libdvm.so" not found"

i saw other writing about their d855.. it means the problem is on my phone?

anybody had this issue too?

also i cant remove xposed, says it cant find a backup.

thanks !

I am by no means an expert so the following is only related from my experience,no warranty is implied or given, but this was the first rom I have flashed etc and I only did it last night:D

Once I put lollipop on to my phone as per this post xposed would not install via the app itself after reading the various threads I found this

[OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop followed the instructions and xposed was installed.

Not sure if I went wrong somewhere but this threw up an issue with lgquickcover not working , some more reading found this booted to recovery using the power/volume key method and flashed the zip from here and the issue was resolved

I think it is worth mentioning xposed is only at alpha at the moment and as such some modules ( in particular g3tweaks I miss it ) do not work

[Xposed General] thefireofwar:
As I can see you don't have a custom recovery, like TWRP, first you need to do is root "if your phone is rooted then skip this" then download an app called "Flashify" then go to this thread and download the latest TWRP and make sure it is unziped, http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129

then open Flashify, Grant for root access, then select flash recovery and then select the recovery boot.img file and flash it after that you should be OK.

then try and flash the xposed framework zip and you should be good to go :)

hope this helped you

PS see this before flashing xposed

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugmojo:
Hello all - Mr. TechDunce, UK here .... :eek:

Seriously, I am of a generation that struggles valiantly to cope with IT, and is looked at pityingly by offspring with the odd comment that "well, you do try, Dad " and " well, you usually get there in the end...." !

Which is about right I suppose ! He also tries to sort me out, but is a way away, so not always on tap .... :o

However, having succumbed to the delights of the Tab S 10.5 (white, 16g, 128micro card) following an intensive "WHICH" test and review (which gave it the edge over ipad-ery), I am struggling a bit with some simple features - but love the tablet itself, a delight to use, superb picture, very long-lived battery life, excellent response etc...., easy on the eye, and nice to hold.

In short, I'm generally thrilled with it .

But a few things beat me, the main annoyance being I can't figure how to simply bookmark a site/page for easy reference - i.e. how to do it, and then how to access it when needed.

For now, it's my biggest bugbear, but if anyone can help with this, I'll master that before exposing my ignorance any more just yet - I do prefer to find out for myself, but this has me flummoxed !

Here's hoping a kindly soul takes pity on me ..... :rolleyes:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cstone1991:
I just took the 21.44.12 update and clicked the more info link that popped up and found this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/droid-turbo-update/

It provides a link to the Software Recover Tool or "SRA", and it says, "The SRA may be helpful if your device:

Isn't fully functional

Can't power up to the Home screen

Is running unapproved (rooted) or faulty software"

I'm sure there are plenty of people who already know about this, but I'll bet there are more Turbo owners who don't. This could also be a method to revert a rooted Turbo back to stock for warranty purposes if/when we get root. Perhaps someone else with more knowledge on the matter can confirm or deny that part.

Yesterday arrived the fastboot cable I ordered.Pluggin it it it turned the kindle to fastboot mode.

Fastboot on my pc recognised the devide in cmd window.

After a couple of fastboot instructions attempting to reload bootloader and TWRP recovery without success, the kindle started to plug and unplug itself every second.

on the screen either if you use a normal usb calbe or the fastboot cable it appears the kindle logo, then the fastboot logo for 1 second then everything desappear and with the black screen starts endelessy to plug and unplug.

It seems fastboot doesn't find any device whine on program amanger it is correclty recognised by the system.

Any help would be very appreceated.

There's a chance that there's a ROM out there with this feature. It used to be pretty standard but for some reason it was dropped a couple of Android versions ago.

The official guide for installing cm12?

Hi everyone,

I have no idea if this is the place to post my question:confused: and I am really sorry if this is not.

Umm..

I would very much like to install CM 12 on the Nook Tablet from download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim&type= but I have no clue how to do it.

I tried the link wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim which seemed a good place to start for a newbie until I saw this sentence "Bear in mind that the boot.img included with the Clockwork Mod Recovery does not support CM > 10.1.3" and belatedly realised that it wouldn't work for CM 12. *facepalm*

Now I am back to square 1 of ignoranceville and it's pretty lonely over here. :o

If someone would be gracious enough to help me out, it would be hugely, ginormously appreciated with ALL of my heart! :):fingers-crossed:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kodjo:
If you installed cm10 and you have custom recovery just boot to fastboot (hold the 'n' button during start) and install the recovery from cm12 thread. After this install cm12.

It's worth noting that you have to convert userdata partition to f2fs for optimal performance. There are two tutorials how to do it in the cm12 thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nodekeeper:
As I understand it.

It is indeed lonely out there in the stix, fellow noob. When I first came to XDA looking for rooting instructions, I was told to read read read, and I have indeed been doing that. But even then my knowledge has a few gaps.

First, I have a factory resetted stock BNTV250 tablet that is at version 1.4.3. I want to get to the CM12 Lollipop 'acclaim' nightlies on github.

As far as I can understand, these are the current instructions as a general overview;

1) Go from BN stock (what I currently have) to CM10. There are a couple of threads around that have enough information to get someone to this point. You format the (micro) SD card on your computer for fat32.

2) Then use the TWRP 2.8.5.2 from that thread on a properly formatted SD card (now ext4?) card to use the desired image (in my case CM12). Reboot and install CM12 using TWRP.

3) Then, to increase the performance (highly suggested) go to the "CMxx [sdcard as Emulated] {Walkthrough} Guide." So you can merge partitions into one 'single' large partition. But I am not sure if this can include the external SD card that I want to use or not (i.e. in that same partition). Also, I am not clear what is the largest size of SD card I can use on the nook?

I am also unclear if I could use an external USB keyboard or not with that (with a micro USB to standard female USB adapter)?

Ok. That's scenario #1. I *could* get eventually through all that and end up with CM12 installed.

But the *much* preferred scenario #2 that I do not know if it exists or not (indications are that exists for some versions CMXX) is to;

1) format an SD card, transfer the proper files onto it, put it in the nook, reboot,

2) the nook boots and automagically installs the desired CM12 image (or prompts a couple of times).

3) Then you shut down, remove the SD card, reformat it (ext 4?) , and install on device to expand usable memory for all those movies/music someone might want to watch.

I really do not know if scenario 2 exists exactly. I do know that #1 can be done.

As I said, I'm a noob like OP, and if anyone can fill in a couple of the gaps while I wait on the memory card to be delivered, I would appreciate it!

Edit: I don't understand why it's not possible to "sideload" TWRP (or something similar) onto 1.4.3 stock nook, then install an CM12 image from there.

The XDA forums can be like a maze sometimes! :laugh:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nandroid123:
I also am having trouble with anything higher than cm-10.1 . I have jelly bean working on my nook tablet (bntv250a) right now. With the usual bugs :(

These are the files I have working now. cm-10.1-20130117-19-acclaim-HD.zip and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip I have tried many other combinations of 10.1 and 10.2 and 11.1 always seem to end in boot loop. But I can seemingly ALWAYS boot those two files and bring jelly bean back. So I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with my install technique. Probably WRONG though !!! ;)

I did finally try the latest cm12 and it amazingly did boot and not loop. BUT...... It immediately said android updating. Went through about 95 updating and then finally got to the welcome screen. Others have seem a million popups saying goo apps not working or something to that effect.

Anyway I was able to connect to wifi and start the registration. Unfortunately it was running VERY VERY SLOW !!! The keyboard kept disappearing and was so SLOW that I never made it through.

I am taking note of what kodjo said in a post above about f2fs. I'm going research that and see if I can figure it out. Kind of a last ditch effort.

Keep up the good work folks
