[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjonesy:
Hi all,

Firstly I apologise for actually posting as I've spent a week trying to not be a twat and to fix it myself but alas I'm at the end of my tether.

OK I have a Tab 2 10.1 P5100 (thus with sim). I originally got it about 3 years ago in Poland and their OTAs are about as frequent as, well, they never happened. So, over the years whilst working there I flashed via Odin various official updates to get it up to scratch. Last one being Jelly Bean.

Everything has been fine until a week ago when suddenly it would boot, get to the log in screen, let me enter my pin, work for 10 seconds and then suddenly reboot. It's an endless loop but it's not stuck on booting up it just crashes ONCE started up fully.

It won't connect to Kies. Now, this is probably the rubbish cable (This is the third official cable in 3 years I've goe thru). The system restore option from manual booting does nothing and wipes nothing so I've been trying to just load an official ROM from the SD..that does nothing.

It starts to install and then goes back to the "no command" screen.

Can I simply download something onto the SD and install from there? the zip files I keep trying dont work.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hello I just bought an Qtek A9100 (same as Cingular 8125, but for latin america). I love the device but the language is in Spanish, and that I hate. I'd like help to turn it to english language. What Rom would be the most recommended one to use change it to english, and then to upgrade to WM6.

The deivce info is as follows

IPL 2.22.0001

SPL 2.22.0001

GSM 01.16.11

OS 2.22.17.2

Thanks

Dear XDA-users.

I think most of you’ve heard, know about user with nickname BurgerZ, who is the author of such good applications as Weather BZ, WSM Tools, and MIUI translator.

Not a long time ago there was polling about porting MIUI v6 and the winner is Nexus 5. This are great news and BurgerZ is ready to start porting it to Nexus 5 but he doesn’t have it.

For now, there was announced fundraising for purchasing this device for BurgerZ, this activity will last 30 days, and at the end of fundraising BurgerZ will have Nexus 5 (if there will be enough funds), or if there will be not enough funds, all gathered fund will be returned, as written in announcement, and MIUI v6 will be ported on another device.

I don’t have no relation to BurgerZ’s team, I’m just Nexus 5 owner and I really want MIUI v6 port of a good quality and continues support on our device, so that is I’m just interested in porting it on Nexus 5.

Xiaomi Company is not interested in porting it on Nexus 5, because they are busy with their own devices.

Total needed amount of money is 25 000 rubles, it is approximately 370 euros and 405-410 dollars. Fundraising was started YESTERDAY, and for today collected 1800 rubles, i.e. less than 10%.

If you wish to participate, you are welcome :) !

Here are links to original announcement, unfortunately in Russian:

1. http://miuipro.ru/podderzhka-google-nexus-5/

2. And link for donation: https://boomstarter.ru/projects/326904/49927

I don’t know if this post is contrary to XDA rules, so I hope that is not. And I hope that we can fundraise and get good MIUI v6 port on our Nexus 5.

Thanks for attention.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] EmoLittleSheet:
In October, my Nexus 7 died.

The charging port didn't work. I've had terrible luck with these, small crack on screen would cause the whole screen to quit working, and then this happened! I've been through 3 of them. Yesterday I tried a daughterboard transplant from one that's screen was dead and this one whose micro-usb port was dead!

Today I placed it on the charger and got 5 white lights blinking and I screamed! It worked, however it seems to be charging much slower now. I didn't think it would work and now I have Android 5.0.2 downloading and almost ready to install!

[UPDATE] It seems to be charging normally, but the 5.0.2 update will not install in TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] andTab:
I got a real SIP phone and a DID for incoming calls from one of those places giving out free DIDs.

Using Google Voice to forward to the DID number, I can now accept incoming calls and trigger outgoing calls from the website (they ring first my phone, then the destination).

I would love it if there was a way to trigger a callback from the SIP phone (even if it is to a fixed number, since I could use my skype dial in number).

Any help what the best way would be to achieve this?

There is so much conflicting info and I admit that I know nothing about PBXs or anything (so some of the guides also make little sense to me).

Could definitely run some software on my (windows) server or on my dd-wrt router.

Thank you in advance.

[Moto X Q&A] vaishnav453:
Hey guys,

I got my new Moto X AT&T XT 1058 today which is unlocked. So when i was browsing the net using Chrome i found something rare on the screen. In the bottom right side corner it says something like this "tell me more" inside a small circle which can be seen if you focus on it and also somethings on the top which says "talk more, touch less". Can be seen more clearly on boot screen . So can anyone help me with this? Like is it a display issue or nothing to be worried about it? Also this screen is kinda yellowish or chrome. why?
[Moto X Q&A] raptir:
It sounds like you may have received a phone that was previously used as a display model and you're seeing burn-in of the text that would have been shown while it was on display. Since the Moto X uses an AMOLED screen burn-in is an unfortunate possibility and can't be reversed once it occurs.

Motorola G2 stuck in boot loop solution

I have solution.... i had same problem... and searched it now my moto G2 is running successfully..... 1st You have to download stock firmware (official may be)...after that you have to install via fastboot with ADB codes....

follow instruction=========>>>>>

1. Extract the downloaded firmware file to a folder.

2. Download and extract mfastboot and copy its content to the same folder where the extracted firmware files.

3. Reboot your Moto G into the Bootloader Mode. To do so, turn off your phone and then press and hold the Volume (-) and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.

4. Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.

5. Now, launch a command window from inside the firmware folder (click shift key, right click and select open command window here option).

6. In the command window, issue the following commands one by one:

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata

mfastboot reboot

NOTE: If firmware includes four system.img_sparsechunk or you do not want to erase the userdata, you can modify the command. You have now successfully installed a fresh ROM on your Moto G and the phone the phone should work as usual.

Also, depending on which version you are going to and from, you may need to try using the standard fastboot rather than mfastboot.

that's it... Enjoy...... (suggesting to download 5.0.2)

Similar thing happened to me as well, after I updated to 5.1. Worked good for a day then all of a sudden I couldn't receive calls no more. I could make calls, text and use data. I called Verizon and they reset some things and the service completely went away, then we got disconnected. After calling back the rep said my sim got broken somehow and told me to go the Verizon store and get a new one. i think the first rep disabled something and couldnt get it back on.

New sim was activated in another phone then put into the Nexus 6 and all was good. Funny thing is I didn't do the *228 thing and my LTE was still showing when I stopped receiveing calls.

Would like a HTC sense ROM ported. Anyone know of one that is out there?
[General Questions and Answers] Morthawt:
I am new to android. I got sick of apps not being able to write to my SD card so I eventually got the guts to attempt rooting (which worked) and then I even convinced myself to try and install TWRP because I heard I can type commands in there to get my device still rooted after encrypting since superSU does not work after encryption (not tried it yet).

I updated to a new version of TWRP 2.8 I think? Any way, what kind of safety net do I have now? I am in the process of doing a fresh backup (everything ticked) with this new version of TWRP and I will trash the old one once this is done. I had zero intentions of flashing custom OS' on my Galaxy S4 mini (I9195 LTE) for fear of bricking my first ever brand new android phone.

Once this backup is created (and duplicated on every damn hard drive I have for backup purposes...) what kind of protection is this? Could I experiment with Cyanogen Mod and have no fear of it failing to load, have problems with it once installed, something go wrong and phone won't boot up? Would I be able to load my backup into TWRP and magically the phone would be in the state it is in today, rooted and everything?

If there are any things I should know I would appreciate being made aware of them before I dare proceed with any (what I assume would be potentially dangerous things) flashing custom roms etc because I want to always ensure I can get my phone to exactly the state it is now, with all my google apps still installed and everything. With everything ticked on my backup, is there anything that wouldn't be able to be restored, as in apps/data or anything?

Sorry for sounding like a noob, but as far as android and flashing is concerned, I am a noob.

tldr; Essentially I just want to be informed, as well as I can be, as to what I can now do (that I have TWRP installed and made a backup) and what I still shouldn't do, what isn't covered in a backup with all boxes ticked etc.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
The backup covers /system (Android OS with settings) /data (all user apps with settings) /EFS (Latest TWRP should backup this, too - MOST IMPORTANT as it stores your IMEI and baseband code) /boot (kernel) + caches (not that important)

In any case your phone has a "DOWNLOAD" mode integrated in the bootloader that will allow you to restore all partitions except "EFS" by flashing the stock firmware via ODIN. So as long as you have a EFS backup and nandroid backup and you don't screw up the phones bootloader (You could do this by flashing a firmware for another (incompatible) Samsung model via ODIN) you're on the safe side. You stock rom backup or a custom rom backup can easily be restored via TWRP. Even if TWRP brakes, you can flash it again via ODIN as long as your bootloader is fine.
[General Questions and Answers] Morthawt:
Ok, so Odin is the only thing that could screw my phone up, given that I have a backup? What about if I attempt to install an incompatible rom via TWRP? Is that just as dangerous? Also if I were to some how screw up the bootloader, how would I fix that? In what circumstance might the bootloader get screwed up? From putting a custom mod on? Or is the bootloader getting screwed something specifically I would have to foolishly mess with?

If I download a cyanogen mod zip file and do the install through TWRP, would that essentially wipe everything and start completely fresh with the new OS as a virgin clean OS? Then I am correct, I hope, that if I want to get back my phone how it is now, with the stock firmware, rooted I would just do an install on TWRP and choose the backup and it would just make everything as it is currently? Even if it were screwed up and unable to boot into an OS? If that is the case, I would be a lot more open to trying different mods.

If I do try a custom rom like Cyanogen, is there an official way to get the google apps like playstore and gmail etc on it? I have seen random guides with strange links like "trust us this is a legit download!" Hmm...

Sorry for all the questions guys, I am just trying to become educated on key things before I attempt any other further things.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Asking is good. Better safe than sorry :)

Yes, in case flash TWRP via ODIN, restore the backup and you should be fine.

Bootloader repair is about 40$ on ebay.

. Before flashing any new (different) rom,perform a NANDROID BACKUP" + manually internal SD Crad backup and then a FULL WIPE (/system /data /cache /dalvik cache /internal SD (Virgin like)

- If you just install a newer version of the same rom e.g. 03/01/2015 -> 03/14/2015 you only need to wipe /cache /dalvik cache (Not so virgin like)

- You can restore all apps/settings from NANDROID backups with "Titanium Backup" on your new OS

- I never heard of flashing a custom rom via recovery messed up the bootloader on Samsung phones, (In rare cases the EFS but you got the backup)

- Use only THIS GApps and make sure you pick the right version (For Android 4.4.x / 5.0.x / 5.1.x) -> Smallest (Pico bundle) will totally do it, you can install any other needed apps (also google's apps) from the pklaystore. Legit and safe.

Make sure you READ and UNDERSTOOD everything before you start flashing a custom rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Morthawt:
Oh I will read everything before trying anything serious like this. I felt as if I was smashing my phone into the ground when I rooted it lol, so dangerous :S, even though I was following a guide. But now that I have all the tickboxes ticked and backed up and I have also copied that backup to 2 different hard drives... I should be safe with that.

So for my additional questions.

Is it possible but unlikely/impossible etc that a custom OS rom install through TWRP would break TWRP to the point of being non-functional to perform restores? (if so I know I could follow the guide again to install TWRP again)

Just to clarify, I should wipe everything except EFS right? When I do a completely new OS rom, perform the install and it should work or it will break. Regardless if it is broken and non functional OR it worked and I don't like it for some reason, I do the same thing again, boot to TWRP, format everything except EFS and install my backup and then the next time my phone is ready for use it will be as if nothing was ever done to it. Does that sound about right? If so, I might have an experiment with Cyanogen.

Also, you said you never heard of the bootloader being screwed over by a TWRP-based rom install. Does that also cover incorrect roms for a different model of the handset or completely different phones? I guess what I mean is, is it safe to perform an OS mod install via TWRP (in case you got the wrong one) and more dangerous to do it through odin if it is the wrong one?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini GT-I9195 LTE. I see the latest "stable" release is only version 10 of cyanogen mod? Yet there is v11 and v12 versions all without any stable release. Does that mean 11 and 12 won't work on my S4 mini or that it would be a mistake to install it on my phone? Or is there a method I can tell which one would be the best one to get for my phone (newest best)?

Lastly, as for odin, since I have TWRP and a backup of my phone as it is now, is there any reason to use odin for anything other than maybe reinstalling TWRP? If so, what else would require me to use odin that TWRP couldn't do?

Thanks so much for answering my questions, it is really making me feel more confident with the whole process. I don't like going into things blind, I'm a computer techie and like to know what I am doing and why I am doing it. This phone customization business is entirely new to me beyond changing settings and themes lol.
