Installation failure on my XT1052 (Moto X '13) @ CM12.1 based ROM (NX-Rom).

Solution

Root-copying it to system/apps/MotoGallery & reboot solved it for me..

Hi guys,

So my htc sensation died yesterday, and i want to buy a note 2. I saw two versions, at almost the same price: N7100, and the Korean vesion ( 4g, 32gb internal memory ) 10 euro difference in price.

Which one should i buy? I saw that the korean version has only a couple of custom roms.

Hey everyone and thanks in advance!

I managed to (hard?)brick my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 with Heimdall accidentally by flashing recovery.img on top of KERNEL.

heimdall flash --6 recovery.img
Uploading KERNEL
100%
KERNEL upload successful
Ending session...
Rebooting device…

Oops.. So now I can't access download mode, nor recovery mode. The device doesn't boot to OS either. So I was wondering if it is possible to install stock rom from external microSD-card. Or is somekind of JTAG solution the only way to go?

I couldn't find any guides how to boot from external sdcard and flash a new ROM from there, so any help appreciated! :D

Hi, I rooted my firetv out of the box and managed to block firmware updates after gaining root.

My problem is I haven't had time to manually update to the latest rooted firmware nor have I setup clockwork mod. Now I'm getting errors when trying to update sling tv to the latest version to use the app.

So what I'm asking is can I simply reenable over the updates with one of the remote apps and update to the latest version and everything should be fine?

Is there any reason for my to keep root considering my use case is kodi in home streaming and sling box? Would I be missing out on anything cool?

Has amazon modified the home screen to include something silly like banner ads since the launch of the fire tv?

Thanks for any advice!

Hey guys,

Im having problem to revert from CM12 to new Lollipop-version or Stock in general. When I try to flash with flashtool the package a get an error message that it can´t open the bundle.

Im sure this is an common problem but I have tried almost everything but it wont work. I got an CM-based recovery (never seen it before, its not like CWM). I have all the necessary drivers and I using an win 7 computer.

Any idea? Should I try to flash an ordinary cwm and then try to flash stock firmware again?

I have also backed up my DRM-keys, any good with them? I have unlocked bootloader and of course rooted device.

Could really use some help right now :p
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuboweb:
restore to .93, root with giefroot, restore keys, reboot and flash lollipop. if you want root, flash a lollipop zip which you can find somewhere around here.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtMatt:
Restore to .93? How can I restore key? Right now its just matters with the stock firmware, root comes later :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omario-242:
You can flash the stock pre-rooted ZIP from Android Development Section through your recovery instead of using flashtool. You won't have to go through the whole rooting process again. If the CM recovery is failing, flash/replace it with TWRP/CWM/xZDualrecovery (tutorials are in their respective threads).

If you want to use your DRM keys, relock your bootloader (after flashing a stock (based) ROM) and restore them with the tool you used for backing them up. You will regain all the functionality.

Did you try different .ftf files with flashtool?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtMatt:
Awesome! I will try it! Thanks man! :)

Here is my list of apps that I have frozen. I'm on sprint so, all Verizon junk has been frozen. If you are on any other network, be cautious to remove apps related to that network. Also, if you use any of the Google apps, such as documents, you obviously do not want to freeze them. Same goes for other apps.

If you would have listed what you enabled, I think the list would have been shorter.

Just out of curiosity, you write above that you disabled all Verizon junk, but going through the list, it makes me think whether you even use the N6 in daily life.

Some apps are really necessary, but you should definitely not disable "Android Web View" because this is regular updated to maintain compatibility (not sure whether also bugs are fixed with it)
[Nexus 6  General] DebianDog:
Well to be fair. It is a pretty good list. I freeze many of the same programs he has because I will never use them. I'm not going to ever Cloud Print or the Google launcher or use Chrome or Gmail because I have my own programs for that I don't need them ever to run. Ever.

How is Google forcing anything Google on you?? You bought the phone. It's straight from Google. Why wouldn't it have Google Apps on it? The apps on the Play Store are a service provided by Google so you don't have to wait on carrier updates. They were never meant to replace their services on the phone. Just a means to faster updates

So out of curiosity what apps do you use to actually utilize this device since you have disabled practically everything which means you must be using non Google apps for almost everything.

Here is what I have downloaded but I mostly use Tapatalk, tunein, chrome, YouTube, outlook, messenger, and the hotspot.

Everyone seems to be asking, why I got the nexus if I disabled most of the google apps. Well, I got the phone for the size of the screen and the front facing speakers. I can really care less for updates and the development. I like to stay on rooted stock ROM as it gives me least amount of problems and good performance. With this setup I constantly get 5-6 hours of SOT and 2-3 days of standby combined.

The point is that these apps can not be simply removed.

The search bar is a good example of bloat. Ugly and hardly used.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Because you don't use it? I use it pretty often. And I'm sure if you are anti Google, you don't use Google launcher. If you use an alternate launcher, it is removable. Don't know if you know that. It's a pretty common thing. Have a look in your launcher settings. Some of them even let you change the way it looks! Android is amazing isn't it??
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I use the Google apps like Gmail, Launcher, Maps, Chrome.

Because i think the search bar is ugly does not mean 'anti-google'.

After installing a modified dark Google launcher the search bar is less ugly.

But there are things that could be better.

Of course the personal taste is the issue of many individuals.

I.m.o many users want to remove apps and services they do not use.

The policy of Google to force us to use G-apps is a different issue.

I am on topic. While I think his list is a tad aggressive the only ones I disagree with him getting rid of are the ones related to security. See post #2

The beauty is that you do not have to disable every app. Disable what you don't use and be done with it.

Going to the device manager, most people who mod their phone disable that option another way to save the battery since it uses location to find the phone, which uses battery that can be saved. But actually, even with the device manager disabled, my phone is still found on the "device manager website". If you dont believe me, try it yourself.
