[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatnewthing:
Hello there good folks of XDA,

I'm at work right now and my phone is at home but here is the story of what went down last night.

I tried to root my phone, after installing TWRP and superuser I ran a root-check app and it said that I was not rooted, so not thinking I tried the 'fix permissions' function of TWRP and then everything went haywire.

It's an international version M8 that I've had rooted before but reverted back to stock to get the lollipop OTA update​

By haywire I mean the phone booted up but no widgets displayed and most of the apps still appeared in the app drawer but nothing would open.

Instead of seeking help at this point I went to town on trying various things :silly:

The last of which was try and flash a boot image to it, but I think I must've used the wrong one as after doing that it's now stuck in a boot into TWRP loop.

From when I had previously rooted the phone I had a boot image (I think) 2.22.401, it matched version on the recovery file I used when reverting to stock in the past so I thought it would be fine​

I've still got a terminal open at home with all the results of the fastboot getvar all command but from memory my CID was HTC_044

Can someone help outline the process and possibly even the files I need to reflash my phone into a working order. (it doesn't need to be 'stock' but that would be best)

I use a mac by default but I do have a windows machine at the ready I can use so feel free to base any tips on doing it from either platform​

Post the getvar all output, minus IMEI and serial number, and we'll go from there
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatnewthing:
Thanks for coming to my assistance but in the end (after a few more slight failures) I managed solve the problems myself.

I believe that my first problem was using a not up-to-date version of TWRP (2.7) with Lollipop; the first symptom was my attempt at rooting my phone, the process appeared to go well but just wasn't working properly.

My second problem was 'fixing permissions'; after doing that my phone went totally haywire and while it would boot into android nothing would work properly

After going to a previously used stock recovery and getting nowhere I went back to the same TWRP I started this with and still had fixed nothing.

at this point I did a factory reset from the recovery mode and while that got me booting back into android I was being swamped with error messages and couldn't get past setup wizard crashing.

At this point I flashed the wrong boot image and had a nearly impossible time getting to the system boot menu instead of TWRP being what it always went to. Eventually I must've got the timing right with the buttons or something because I got back into the system boot menu and could access fastboot.

Once in fastboot I downloaded a full nandroid backup and restored it, my phone was working again... or so I thought, it was still suffering from permissions problems :(

at this point I re-rooted it with the latest TWRP, got SuperSU working properly, did the 'restorecon' command with a terminal app and now the app crashes I was getting have stopped and I can see and write to the phone memory.

After trying to test everything I could think of on my phone today I think it's finally fixed.

I tried to do a partial/selective app+data restore from a nandroid backup I took of my own phone just after the 'fix permissions' event but it didn't work properly so in the end I manually re-setup my phone. I do run an sms backup app so overall I only lost time...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimson_Rubeus:
So, first got my LG G2. Was on 4.4.2. Managed to get custom recovery on it, cool. Attempted flashing resurrection remix. Success, bootloop.

TOT'd back to stock firmware, 4.2.2. Managed to root device, and place custom recovery on it after multiple apps because I don't understand what the f*** "Loki" Is, or anything. So I attempted to flash 4.4.2 ROM, failed. Cool. Attempted to flash resurrection remix again, got aboot error, and loki-ifying failure of some stuff. Rebooted device, bootloop. Cool. So, how do I place lollipop on the LS980 4.2.2?

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION], got LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 ROM on there from 4.2.2. Had audio error, flashed newer nightly of LiquidSmooth, got bootloop. Flashed KK Baseband from Cloudy's thingy for the LS980, ran CloudyG2 LP Rom, installed via aroma, now I'm stuck in fastboot. gg.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeebs:
Are you sure you're flashing the right versions? i.e. D801 for T-Mobile, etc
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimson_Rubeus:
Yeah, it was stated on by the pages of which, LS980 (Sprint), VS980(Ver) 802, int.. Etc.

Now I'm having to attempt to modify tot files to change model versions because my phone

Appears to be model LG-F320S in Download mode, but it's not. I flashed CloudyG2 3.0, and his LS980 KK Baseband

And that's what occured me to get stuck in fastboot mode. Now I've been reflashing stock firmware img's and I can't

Get back into fastboot mode, so I'm stuck in Downloading Mode but as I modify the hex, and try to do the tot file, I

Continuously get wrong model number. It's kinda aggravating...

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION], managed to get back to 4.2.2 stock firmware with this http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/general/dll-to-bypass-lg-flash-tool-model-check-t2990665

Now how do I upgrade to Lollipop?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Ayala:
These are the current configurations of my Qtek S200 G3 after upgrading to WM6:

Remember I only managed to upgrade via a Destop with Windows XP and Active Sync. I was not able to do it with Windows Vista and Windows Mobile Center.....

Windows Mobile 6

OS 5.2.968 (build 17217.0.0.0)

OMAP850-195Mhz

Memory: 51.99 Mb

Expansion Slot: In use

ROM version: 10.2.0.8 WWE

ROM date: 2/03/07

Radio version: 02.61.21

Protocol version: 4.1.13.28

IPL: 2.09

SPL: 2.20.0000

GSM: 02.61.21

OS: 10.2.0.8

Before this upgrade I used SPB applications, like SPB Weather and SPB Backup.

Also before the upgrade operation I performed backup of all my data to the SD Card, excluding the option Enviroment Settings. I mean, just the data it self.

After the upgrade I tried to run the EXE generated file by the backup oeration on the SD Card, but nothing happends!

I managed to restore all my data syncronizing the Qtek to the desktop.

I also tried to install SPB Weather, but it does not perform the download operation with the update weather.

Any reports about the incompatibility of SPB Applications running under WM6?

thanks in advance

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] flykthewiz:
I don't know about spb weather but i have had no problems with spb backup or pocket plus or gprs monitor.

the only issue i can see is that if you restore an spb backup with registry etc onto a different rom that could cause problems.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
Can someone explain how this works? If I flash CM12 then the recovery is in the kernel itself? But then after I flashed TWRP. After that if I flash the M5 kernel then do I have no recoveries? I need to flash a recovery from *fastboot* every time after flashing a custom kernel?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
xperias dont have a independant recovery

it has a recovery partition with 2 names, that being fotakernel and recovery

you beed a kernel that suports fotakernel (or recovey partition, same thing) to use the recovery
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Well, what a surprise.

After sideloading the OTA (as usual, no errors or anything strange) and waiting for the "Updating android app 1/1xx", the screen goes black. I can't do absolutely anything but to press the power on button to turn on/off the screen (which is black illuminated), and if I hold the button I clearly see the "Power Off?" message in the white box as usual over the black background, and the animation of "Android is turning off" if I turn it off..

Sometimes a SystemUI error appears and after pressing OK it reappears again and again, sometimes showing the live wallpaper behind it. It ends up with an infinite loop of SystemUI crashes.. It may be a prob loading the launcher? it's not even showing status/navigation bars..

This sideloading the OTA on an stock N7. Really google??

When cleaning cache on recovery, it does the updating apps again, then shows for few secs that some app failed and goes black again.

This N7 is stock with the bootloader locked, any way to fix this without needing to unlock (and so wipe)?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'm definitely in a SystemUI crash loop. Even rebooting to safe mode doesn't work at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver-Hawk:
MD5?

I've just downloaded the OTA myself, and thought I'll check out xda just to be sure there is nothing to worry about, and then I see This! :p

First thing ofcourse would be to make sure the OTA file was not incomplete/damaged. Would you mind confirming the MD5 you've got? Mine is "d394ba9a61f8f6a206b8c427844b5427", file size 106,509,760 bytes.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Hello,

Using "HashMyFiles",

MD5 is d394ba9a61f8f6a206b8c427844b5427,

SHA1 is 9f163586073265c54d86679efd63513a4477cfd8.

Size: 106,509,760 bytes

So yeah, good download file.

And there is no problem with the cable or "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" version since I used it to flash the partitions directly in my other N7 (rooted and such) and also tested applying the N5 5.1 OTA on my N5 and both results were good.

There is no bad stuff here, the REAL file ota 5.0.2 to 5.1 "semi-bricked" my not rooted n7 in 5.0.2..

Google really has QA? I still don't believe an ota did this to a pure n7 stock rom that used otas since the real first 4.1 build to these days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver-Hawk:
S**t happens!??

Well, don't know what happened in your case, but all I can tell here (for someone else in a similar situation maybe) is that it worked perfectly fine for me. I updated using adb sideload on a totally stock device as well. Never rooted, no custom recovery, only difference being mine was already bootloader unlocked (don't know if that's why it didn't work for you, though I doubt it). Unlocking the bootloader was the first thing I did out of the box actually, for situations exactly like u're describing.

As for you, I hope it's still being recognized on USB connection so you can pull most of your data atleast. All the best

Yeah I saved all the stuff via adb, but it SUCKS to have to format because an OFFICIAL OTA did this. Thanks mate!

And I now recognize the error of not having the bootloader unlocked. I NEVER suspected to get in such a situation only sideloading otas on a device never unlocked. Google really fails at delivering an stable platform.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Same prob? So we may not be alone on this.. Google really messed up this OTA.

No, I didn't do anything of that to this N7, it was pure stock lock screen and nova launcher.

EDIT:

Yes now I remember I had one from the 4.2 times, Lockscreen Policy

Checking the doc:

static int	DELETE_FAILED_DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGER

Uninstall return code

uninstall fail if the system failed to delete the package because it is the active DevicePolicy manager.

Any way I can delete this app or deactivate his DeviceAdmin status with ADB and no root? :S I can't find any way.. this is frustrating.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaspian:
I'm not sure uninstall will help now. I think you need to revert the changes made by "Lockscreen Policy".

I didn't find the solution quick enough and just wiped my nexus 5 :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
It seems that I just need to disable it from the Device Admin rights window (the same reason why you need to disable its device admin rights before uninstalling it normally), but the prob is seems that there is not a way to do that without UI interaction. I can lauch the system activity or even the device admin activity from ADB, but I don't see them in the tablet so I can't interactuate.

It is really, really frustrating. This is the last non-rooted Android device I own, for sure. What a traition....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaspian:
Yep, this time I unlocked bootloader also...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
Same, just wiped it, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.. never had this intention but it's terrible that on Android you're forced to wipe because an OTA made an app ruin the tablet (and thank god I had ADB debugging enabled before, otherwise I even wouldn't had be able to save the data via ADB before wiping), it's incredible, Google epic sucks compared to Apple on this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrozenstare:
if you go to the android factory image website

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

in the flashing instructions they give you they specifically tell show and tell you to unlock the boot loader before applying an update. after the update they also instruct you on how to lock the bootloader again. do not start to bash google because you do not follow their instructions.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
I was NOT flashing a factory image, I was SIDELOADING an OTA.Nothing to do with that.

In fact, my problem would be reproduced if anyone being pure stock on 5.1 downloaded that app and gave it device admin.

According to him, with medium use, he took the phone off charge at 8AM, and by the time he got home at 5PM, the phone had 43% which is pretty decent.

He saays light user but his description of his usage is more of a medium use imo

Usage included:

Taking pictures throughout the day - testing the HDR features

Testing the slow motion video function

Downloaded a 72mb app

Checking emails throughout the day

browsing menus and settings throughout the day

20 minute phone call

For brightness he said : "I've got it set on 'auto' and the screen is on 'Adaptive Display' mode.﻿"

Its hard to say what sort of ambient light he was in and what the brightness was scaled to due to his background.
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
IMO screen brightness has little impact on battery. half way on my S4 i get 5hrs 30 mins screen time. full brightness i get 5 hrs 10 mins. basically 20 extra minutes.. probably less impact on newer more efficient screens such as the S6. what impacts battery the most is data and cpu, so unless you know exactly what the person had running and was doing, it's pointless.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
What is the thing that make more impact on the battery?
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
So I asked the guy about the battery and he says there will be a software update when released and that he only has a "training device" so it might not be a true reflection of the device

"Hi, the 'time on' only gives a reading from the last time the device was fully charged. UnfortunatelyI've been told to avoid battery testing because I have a a 'training device' and there will be new updated software on the retail version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 upon its release (April 10th in the UK). Therefore any tests I do wouldn't be a true reflection of the device. Everything else on the phone I should be able to test in full.﻿
