[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runittwiice:
So, I wanted to install a custom ROM, but somewhere along the way something went wrong and I got stuck in a bootloop, I've been reading up on some threads and I followed some steps that were supposed to fix it, but I feel like I'm in even more trouble now (Well, my phone is still alive so I still have hope but yeah..)

Anyways, I'm using Philz custom recovery now, I tried to do a wipe to install a new or stock ROM, at first it said the wipe was succesful, so I tried installing the ROM, but during the install I kept getting:

E: Error mounting /data

It did say the installation was succesful, but after I rebooted it kept trying to wipe eventhough I did not ask for this.

Got another mount error and said Wipe Failed.

Now when I try to sideload stock ROM I get errors like:

Formatting Cache

Formatting /sd-exxt

E: Uknown volume for path /sd-ex

(I also don't know why it's doing that since this phone has no SD card) I got the Falcon edition with the internal storage. Also when my computer recognizes my phone and I want to open the phone folder, there is no longer an Internal Storage folder.

Anyways after those errors it says Data Wipe Complete, Wiping System, Now flash new ROM

But nothing flashes properly it seems due to the mounting error. I've looked for solution, but I can only seem to find threads that involve Samsung

and when I find a solution video it has something to do with either taking your battery out of your phone (which you can't do with this phone) or something

with your SD card (which this phone doesn't have).

So yeah, I'm running out of ideas here and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

The phone has a virtual SD card.

I had a similar issue. Try flashing TWRP recovery and go to wipe > format data (THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA) then reboot recovery. Worth a shot if you're not able to use your phone. You can copy over SD card contents to a computer first via TWRP by mounting MTP, or use USB OTG..

Okay, So I have two android phones, let's call them phone A and phone B. Phone A is my personal phone that I use everyday. Phone B is my previous phone that's just lying around. Can I root B, take SD card from A to B, f.e mount all the app/game files on SD card, and take the card back to A? Is this possible?
[XDA Assist] zombunny:
I got sick of Google Play updating and pushing updates of Google Play Services (i'm limited on data) to my phone, so I read that uninstalling and reinstalling a modded version (yes i'm aware this modded store is used by many to pirate, but don't flag me for mentioning it. I just need to save data). Problem is, now none of my in-app purchases register with Google Play. :/ Is there a way to get these working again AND avoid my data getting sucked down by Play and Services updates? Using a Sony Xperia Z1S on 4.2, and a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 on 4.2 (both have the modded Play store and they share data via the wifi hotspot from my Huawei).
[XDA Assist] Razvan:
Hi there,

I'm sorry but we can help you with this problem if you Google Play isn't official. The only way to find a solution is to ask the developer of that modded market from where you are installed.

Or ask in the forum bellow :

It seems that with the new update I am getting less battery life then when kit Kat I have everything the same expect no root and I would usually get around 5 1/2 battery life on kit Kat with root but now I'm nearly getting 4? And I already factory reset it and it's still the same any help ?

Mine is about the same. I have it set to power saving mode. Just not affecting background data. Getting a full day with it without having to plug it in till about 11pm, my day off charger starting at about 5:30am. It might be your settings and if you're a power user. I use mine all through the day, from streaming audio to social networking and talking and texting or surfing the web. Even watching videos!

My battery has taken a hit as well. I'm seeing about 20-30% less energy from what I used to get.

before the update I unplugat 7:30 I got to high school so I stream netflix I use YouTube occasionly read books at half Brightness with no auto sync nfc Bluetooth off WiFi off till I get home and when I'm not using my data I turn it off (even though I have unlimited ) then when I get home connect to WiFi and keep streaming YouTube and text social media and never worried till about 10 or 11 with around 5 hohrs and 40 or 45 min at 10 % but now I bear get 4 ost
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
You people do know that just like when you flash a ROM you have to train the update or ROM to the battery. To do this you have to completely drain and charge the battery a few times. I get better battery time with Lolipop then I did with KK. But I also trained the battery and system.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrohluis:
Yeah I was thinking that also but idk if that was the answer or there was something going on because when I first got this phone I couldn't get more then 4 hours ost but now I got more, until the update
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerboy3:
This is one possibility.

You all have to also remember that if you use a KK rom that they were heavily tweaked by the rom maker most times for battery life/performance boosts.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaranna:
These both make a lot of sense when it comes to battery life. I concur with them both. From a stock standpoint and the custom tweaked.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherbon26:
With stock NK2 I was getting almost 30 hours wothout charge and about 4 hours screen on.... now with OB7 i am lucky to get 10 hours with 1.5 hours screen on. Seriously thinking about going back to NK2. yes I did a full system wipe 3 times to be safe and still having said issue with battery
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
Have you fully discharged your battery to the point that the phone shuts off and then recharged with the phone off at least twice? If not you should give it a try. This is supposed to be standard procedure any time a ROM is changed or updated. The ROM has to learn the charge and discharge characteristics of the battery and the only way to do this is to have it run a couple of full cycles.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
Accidentally gave thumbs up. Anyway, not sure if that's true. I've installed many roms across multiple phones (like most of you have) and I've drained and charged batteries after installing roms and sometimes I haven't. Either way I haven't noticed better battery life. It's usually the same.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerboy3:
Stock rooted NK2 or full stock?

This only gives you very small gains if any, also this matters more only if you don't ever let your phone die completely/have a non-stock battery.

Thats usually whats going to happen, small gain/loss. Nothing amazing unless you have an extended battery the device needs to learn to use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IamSoukan:
Dear all members & visitors.

I've been using your roms & kernels since the day our i9000 was released. Big thanks to you all - devs, forum moderators & guests for your fantastic work. This is my first post - hopefully under the right section. Hope it can help somebody to achieve the smoothness & stability out of our old but certainly not dead devices.

So, here are my details:

- running the latest Mackay Rom (4.9.14) with test kernel from Mackay (0.693).

- ART runtime

- kernel tweaker app from market to set the stuff:

-- min. freq. 100mhz @ 975mV

-- max. freq. 1300mhz @ 1350mV

-- row

-- read ahead size 4096

-- low memory killer set to very agressive.

With this configuration I was able to push antutu benchmark till (see attached) 8199. This was my higher score.

Now I am playing with OC 1400mhz, from 1351mV to 1365mV. Stable stuff around 1361mV - but antutu benchmark and quadrant fail to complete.. So no results. Otherwise all other apps work just great. No reboots at all. And the battery..well, I have a 1750mAh battery and with normal usage (phone, sms, gmail) a fully charged phone overnight loses around 15-20% from 07:00 till 14:00. I assume that the battery performs better with ART runtime rather than Dalvik.

With agressive memory killer option i have always around 90-140mb of free ram. I told you - average daily user, not a lot of multitasking/games/other stuff..

So once again, big thanks to ALL devs, from 2.2.1 to 4.4.4, to miui, slim, omni.. I really tried 96% of all the roms here, but settled with Mackay from Kasper & crew. Keep up the good work.

Cheers from Slovenia.

P.S.

If someone has good&better tweaks please share.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:
Hi all, hope someone can help, my M8 is stuck on the red triangle screen when rebooting, the only screen I can access is the blue text android system recovery screen, with some yellow text at the bottom saying 'no cw files. skip cw instalation'

The phone is not recognised when plugged into my PC (I get the USB device connected sound) but cannot see the phone or seem to run any fastboot or ADP commands. I guess USB debug is disabled but I cant get into the phone to enable it.

This happened after rebooting following a firmware update (file specified in below pic).

I previously updated my phone to GPE lollipop 5.0.1, from stock sense and am trying to get back to sense, so this was part of the process to install viper rom which is sense based. Phone was S-OFF but no root when I started trying to go from GPE to viper rom.

Any ideas, I seem to have the option to apply from SD card, but cant run any command from PC, i.e apply TWRP recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Can you get to the bootloader?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:
Thanks for the reply, Not the proper white boot loader screen.

just the android system recovery screen with the blue text and black background.

But selecting 'apply from phone storage' or 'apply from SD card' revealed a 2nd screen, this seems to suggest I could load up what I need via SD card, this is all I have access to atm;

I'm guessing im gonna have to put TWRP on via SD card, then look at putting a rom on?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
So selecting the option to reboot to the bootloader doesn't work either? If not, you might be screwed as the option to update via sd card is for OTA updates
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:
Thanks, I can't seem to power the phone off, just reboot via vol+ and power button, pressing the power button to try and power off doesn't seem to do anything at all.

On reboot I get the white HTC splash screen, them it goes straight to the black screen/red triangle screen but I can access android system recovery screen with the blue text and black background. above by pressing vol+ power from the black/red triangle screen.

I just seem to have the following options:

Reboot system now

apply from SD

apply from phone storage

apply from cache

Wipe/factory reset

wipe cache partition

thanks for any advise
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:

Think I've fixed the issue, thanks to a kind chap on another forum,

"Press and hold power and volume up until phone shuts off. Let go of power and volume up then hold volume down until bootloader comes up -_- "

The BOLD text was the little bit I was missing, specifically vol down after shutting the phone off via vol+ power

I now have unlocked s-off bootloader so hopefully will be ok from here.. watch this space lol

Well I may have spoken too soon, but I'm not quite so worried now I have bootloader access.

I still cant run simple commands like 'adb devices' thou
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:

What's your HBOOT version?

EDIT: Reading through your previous posts I'm going to guess you're on 3.16.0000 - if so, this is why it's not working as you need Lollipop FW for everything to run. Can you boot into the bootloader and post the output of fastboot getvar all (removing the IMEI and serial number) and we'll see what's going on
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:
Thanks for that, I think I may be running a firmware that's too old, that's been suggested on another forum, I've also had to reflash viper via twrp again as the phone freexez on a white blank bootloader screen on every reboot.

Can I simply push a new firmware to the phone leaving the System intact if that's the case?

here are some pics, any guidance welcome:

PLEASE NOTE the first pic shows a newer version of twrp, I downgraded to 2.8.1.0 to get twrp to work.

Thanks again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyfez69:

Thanks again, slipped the new firmware in via fastboot, and I now boot properly with viper splash screen, and WIFI works!!!

[LG Optimus 3D] RdwAyaz:
Hi guys. I searched threads but I couldnt find an exact solution.

I noticed " pop and sizzling" when speaker in use. Did you notice that ? Not key pressing , not touching, only when speaker gets in use like playing music playing video, typing etc.(even in mute) I know a little sizzle is OK but this is to much and easy to notice.

I am sure this is not a H/W issue because i am used my O3D for about 2 years with Froyo and GB and there wasn't any pops and sizzles to notice. But I flashed ICS and there it is. Re-flashed to GB and no pops. I am on ICS now... It may accur by kernel or setting of levels/gain etc.. My opinion is , setting up these settings may fix my problem. So if someone helps me a little about it (sounds settings-test menu-gain whatever it is) I will be happy..

Also i will try stock GB sound levels on ICS if i can find values.

Sincerely.

So, I was stock rooted and wanted the ota.

I defrosted everything in titanium, flashed to stock and took the ota.

Did a factory reset and found a few things...aside from could not stand the colors, my cover view would not work, and s health was goofy. Ok, so i wipe, odin, and reset everything back to 4.4...twice.

The second time to restore a downloaded from stock roms thinking I may have had a bad tar?

Anyway, when my phone boots up, i get "TouchWiz has stopped working"

...it starts on its own after a bit, then my keypad sounds turn themselves on every time i reboot.

Sure, i know...big world problems

Just wondering if anyone else has or had this, and what they did to clear it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spark91:
When you wipe, do you do system, data, cache, dalvik, internal storage?

I heard lollipop encrypts internal SD. Also, don't take the ota while you're rooted.

Just .tar the stock NK2, Wait for it to optimize for 15 minutes, do a prl profile update, then take the OTA. Don't touch it or do anything that involves using data in any way.

When you update, make sure you have 100% battery life or plugged in, once you're on LP, do another prl profile update and reboot, have it optimize again and then start setting up.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhorvat:
Hi folks,

my Moto G (GB retail, running stock 4.4.4, stock recovery) has been working fine for quite some time. A few months ago, I experienced a bootloop and made a hard reset. Since then, Google Contacts Sync isn't working until I install a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (that I found somewhere on the internet).

Today, the new update to 5.0.2 fails to install (aborts after a minute or so) and the phone boots back normally. I also tried updating via .zip file through recovery and the system says the update has been aborted because current "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk has unexpected contents". The same message is shown when installing the update on a freshly reset phone (without installing the aforementioned downloaded .apk).

Could anyone provide a solution?

Thanks a million!

2. I took a nap for 2 1/2 hours ... phone was fully charged 100% ... got a call and had to pull the battery ... once i put the battery back in ... the battery said 47%

It would be good to put bugs and fixes to problems found on latest official 8525 ROM.

1.-The side dial problem could be a starter.

2.-No streaming on this update

3.-After this update you won't be able to go back to 1.34

Solution for number 3: Run enterbl.exe from your device, then the RUU for official 1.34, then you'll be able to downgrade

Anybody has a solution for 1 and 2?
