If it's pulled right off the phone, sure; that's a really simple change.

If it's pulled off the store (DRM encrypted) then no, that's an excruciatingly complex wall of nonsense.

Its the XAP from the store. Encrypted....
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noelito:
Fudge is there anyone out there with the app already installed?

Can anyone else patch the xap?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceesheim:
the xap posted cant be patched.

only one from the phone can be patched.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noelito:
does anyone else have the app on their phone?

If you have the app on you phone will you please patch it? I'll even donate!

ok the app is on my phone can i patch it? also i have an old patched xap too

ok I have the app on 2 of my phones an HTC 8X and a nokia 930, I read a tutorial to patch an xap but you need a phone with an sd card, is that the way to get the app off my phone, but neither have sd card slots, with that being said is there still a way to patch the app that's on these phones? I am also uploading an old wp7 version of the vevo app that I downloaded off of winphonhub, its patched and works fairly well with occasional error message, can this patched xap help you patch a more current one?

also id like to add I have 2 windows phones 635 and 830 with sd card slots, this may sound like a silly question, can I put the current marketplace xap onto the sd card and patch it from within the phone? or does it need to be installed on the phone too as well? (which unfortunately they are not installed on my sd card slot phones)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceesheim:
it MUST be installed on a phone with an sd card so that you can move the app to the sd card, then you can get the app of the phone and patch it.

if it isn't installed on your 830 then the xap only will not help you because the market place checks if the app is there , if it isn't then it will not let you install the the app

there are some hardcore ways to get the app of your x8 but that is only for real advanced users like [MENTION=358779]compu829[/MENTION] , because you need to actually brick your phone to enable mass storage mode . there are some threads about that.

[MENTION=1667855]noelito[/MENTION] if you upgrade your L930 to Windows Phone 10, there is a simple way for you to get the xap off of the device for backup!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noelito:
i can definitely upgrade the L930 to w10 tp

[MENTION=358779]compu829[/MENTION] ok how to back up the xap? where is the tutorial? I am looking for the way to upgrade non supported devcies to windows 10 phones, I should be good to go because I have noupgrade the windows insider app
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noelito:

ok I found this thread [MENTION=358779]compu829[/MENTION]

do I follow the instructions on this thread to install windows 10 on my 930?

however at what point am I able to extract the vevo app and patch, when do I do that?

[MENTION=358779]compu829[/MENTION] yes I read the Lumia icon will be supported for windows 10 tp but they didn't mention 930 could have been inadvertently left out, I think I have done this before, if you are able to give step by step instructions im even open to doing a remote access to my PC if you wanted to do it for me or guide me as I go a long doing it

In hearing the number of complaints of the instability on Windows Central, I don't recommend it until the next build actually releases for all the phones versus attempting the trick.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] laofan:
2013 Nexus 7 , 16gb,

running on PA 4.6 beta 6, Elemental X 2.15 aosp kernel..

only root apps is titamnium backup and root exploer.

Here is the weird thing:

In the internal storage , there is a folder named " storage", it also contains a "emulated" folder. The "emulated" folder contains " legacy" folder. I could only see these folder on my computer via MTP. Could not see those folder if using a file explorer app.

I noticed that somehow my storage is running low. I only has a few apps and twrp back up. They only take up 5GB at most. But my storage is always full at 10 Gb or 11Gb. And I start to noticed that the " storage" folder in internal storage may cause the trouble. It may be copying all my files somehow.

Then I delete the "storage" folder using MTP on my computer. All other filles seems ok, But when I reboot my nexus 7, the internal storage looks like been wipe and almost nothing is there.....

I reinstalled the rom but same thing happen : storage space got double, if delete" storage" folder, all files would be gone.

I don't know what to to. It seems like I am using a nexus 7 with only 6GB actually storage space.

I would really appreciate it if anyone knows why and what should I do...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] krazyq:
Hey guys,

My brother has the S4 i337 model and he's on 4.4.2

This phone is unlocked and he's using Tmobile on it.

For some reason it cannot find 4.4.4 via OTA and Kies

Is this because it's on tmobile or this model didn't get 4.4.4 yet.

Do I need to root it and flash a rom on it?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Brandon.Black:
Some models of the Samsung Galaxy S4 just didn't get the update, for instance my i337 didn't even get the 4.4.2 Kitkat update and was stuck on JellyBean. Your best bet is to just flash a 4.4.4 Rom on it. Clears out the bloated stock software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] krazyq:
that's really lame

So to make sure I do this the right way

I have to root the phone first

then install custom recovery

then flash rom right?

Or does the boot loader need to be unlocked?

Any rom recommendations?

I'd like for it to be stock so it's stable since my brother needs this for testing purposes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Brandon.Black:
Yes correct, but if your boot loader is locked then you're going to need to download SafeStrap Recovery for locked bootloaders. Then once you have installed that, there's only very limited amount of Roms you can install because of the kernel, if you find a ROM that changes the kernel your phone won't boot. But a ROM that is fully working is called "GoldenEye ROM" its a 4.4.2 ROM but is really clean, stock, and clears out all that bloated nonsense. There's no 4.4.4 Roms for locked bootloaders yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] krazyq:
thanks for this info

I'll look into it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Is it because people are trying to downgrade their bootloaders? In general, you should never do that on a motorola phone although sometimes you can get away with it.

Or is it because people are messing around with their phones without unlocking the bootloaders?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiv101:
I believe they are relocking the bootloader, and then not being able to unlock again causing it to bootloop
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tasssadar:
There are two separete issues. One is what you're describing, and one is the device just completely dying - "you can't even get to fastboot". The first one has thread here, as for the second one, there really isn't a comprehensive thread yet. I'm not even sure what is causing it anymore, at first I thought the bootloader doesn't like being downgraded (which you can do accidentally very easily, since CM ZIPs contain bootloader, for some reason), but there are people reporting bricked devices with pretty much no cause :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
This is a Nexus phone made by motorola, not a Motorola phone. Big difference.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Are they sure of what bootloader versions they had?

I know this is a Nexus device but it has a Motorola bootloader. It is safest not to downgrade the bootloader OR the partition table from my experience with the Moto X. I know there were some exceptions and that is how jcase was able to get root on at least one bootloader version, but the general rule was don't try to downgrade the bootloader or the partition table to stay out of trouble.

I was thinking of making a post on General with this advice in it for people to help them stay out of trouble:

1) know your bootloader and partition table versions before you flash anything and if you aren't sure what will happen, do not attempt to downgrade either the bootloader or the partition table; and

2) make sure OEM unlock and USB debugging are enabled before you flash anything.

I understand that the advice above may be overkill for those who know what they are doing, but clearly people who don't know what they are doing are bricking their devices. I feel bad for them and don't want to see more people in that situation.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldconfession13:
I was bricked by CM. Last nexus I had with cm was galaxy nexus so I don't know how cm is done on nexus 5 but why do they reflash bootloader and radios on each update. It wasn't that way before. Thats what bricked my device. I just got confirmation that I'm getting my replacement device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Still a Motorola bootloader
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Not in the manner that is being discussed. It can't be downgraded because of the new security implemented in 5.1, not because moto is involved.

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] thefourthlegacy:
Hi,

Have a Samsung Galaxy Core. As of this morning, any text messages I try to send just disappear from view as soon as I hit send. The recipients do appear to receive them (I tested on a coworker), however there is no record of them going through on my end in the text conversation. Very frustrating as I'm not sure if they're going through all the time and there is no record of them. They literally just disappear as soon as I hit send. Spoke to my provider (Telus) who advised to download something called Samsung Kies, but the software doesn't work (can't connect to my phone). Can also no longer access the Play Store.

Has anyone had this problem and successfully managed to fix it?

Thanks!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Pantaloonie:

and why do u think they will help me if i am not there customer but bought the unit from some kind of auction....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] wu5262:
oh, i didn't realize you are not a customer of T-mobile, in this case, it's no use to call them, they will only give unlock code to their customer. I have also bought my T-mobile MDA Pro on ebay, it was lock, no matter how many times i call them, they will just not give me the code, the only way is to ask the seller to do it for you, you see, every IMEI is link to their owner, in this case, it's not link to you but the auction seller, so you need to ask him to do it for you.

p.s. At least this is the case about 1 year ago.

BTW You do have a Ameo right? Why your title say HTC X7500?

I own a ZTE N909D. Because there is not much data available in the English forums I want to gather everything I found out in this one thread.

Basic specs

Screen size: 4.5"

Screen resolution: 854 x 480 pixel

Processor: Qualcomm MSM8625Q (Arm v7)

Original Android version: 4.1.2

N909: single SIM / N909D: dual SIM

Root

In the past I used vRoot, which nowadays is called iRoot - I did not find any correlation to the i-products so far :p There is also an apk-file available, thus, you do not need a PC for rooting. What I did not like is the Chinese superuser-app. That one can be replaced with whatever you like (don't forget to uninstall the Chinese afterwards).

Searching through the (Chinese) forums I came across a few recoveries, which are working on my D-version, although they were created for the single SIM variant:

Recoveries

CWM v6.5.0.1:

Language: Chinese

Original compilation by ???: I am sorry, I lost the original link. I only have the IMG-file (download link below).

TWRP v2.5.0.0:

Language: Chinese / English

Original compilation by Yang: http://www.gaojiquan.com/thread-9330-1-1.html. A German guy has it available for direct download: TWRP 2.5.0.0 for ZTE N909

I translated it back to English (download link below)

TWRP v2.8.4.0:

Language: Chinese / English

Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3559914472. It is a dual language version, where you can change to English within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqGfoVy

I modified it to English / English for English start-up (download link below)

TWRP v3.0.0.0:

Language: Multilingual

Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4349805138. It is a multi language version, where you can change to English or some other languages within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch - no issue after that was done. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hrhkLOK

Kernels

Original kernel from ZTE: http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1005182

Original ZTE kernel patched up to version 3.4.113: https://github.com/xdatravelbug/android_kernel_zte_n909d

For the dual SIM variant I did not find any updated ROM newer than Android 4.1.2 until now. The single SIM version has several custom ROMs available.

ROMs

to be added

Yang from GaoJiQuan

I bricked ZTE N909. Can you help me to unbrick it? It can boot to stock recovery, but every time update fail and factory reset stuck at logo after restart? Do you know how to boot in fastboot or something else? Can you please upload stock restore files to try with it? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] travelbug:
Not exactly sure what is failing during the update. But you can try the following:

* Install a custom recovery

* Download either the original update package from ZTE N909 Taiwan ROM or a custom ROM version

* Install that ROM

As you can boot into stock recovery, you can also try to clean/erase all partitions in there or you do it via TWRP. The usual way going to fastboot (with the phone switched off) is by pressing and holding power + volume up (or down). In fastboot mode connect your phone to USB and open a command prompt. If you only want to test the custom recovery use "fastboot boot <image.img>". If you want to directly flash the custom recovery use "fastboot flash recovery <image.img>"

Let me know if this information does not help.

Quick update after a long time: I patched the original kernel v3.4.0 to v3.4.113. Trials are still ongoing if something screwed up doing that. Especial the bluetooth files caused some issues during the patches because ZTE uses different variable-names than Linux.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chogau1:
My nexus 7 - 2013 just became an expensive paperweight, seems like the internal storage or motherboards went Kaput. I am looking for a replacement and the specs of the Kindle Fire HDX 7 are very impressive, specially buying the 64 GB version, I couldn't find any device with better specs for the price. However, the drawback seems to me all the hassle to try to change the tablet to a truly android experience; people are writing posts about accomplishing simple things on other tablets like using a different launcher, using Netflix, casting to Chromecast, using the Google Play store, side loading apps, etc. Not to mention all the other posts with people bricking their devices after trying to accomplish these tasks. So my question is: Is all that hassle worth it? Is the Kindle really that good that all the hassle is worth it? Thank you very much in advanced for any responses.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
It's a very sensitive device . Unless you are a pro , and or very good at following directions . And patient enough to read whole threads . IMHO. NO Even though there has been a little development the last few months this device is still very very limited . And still no way to fast boot a device to repair brick state . Unless you have previously unlocked the boot loader . Even then things are very tricky . Just some friendly advice and less you are very very good with android devices and some development procedures and don't mind taking risk as far as I'm concerned the device is not cheap enough yet . I own an 8.9 and two 7.0...

Bottom line is how you use a device. Would I bother if I were not an Amazon Prime member? Probably not, not now that I can get AVOD on nearly any Android device. That said, I am a Prime member & being able to download HD movies for watching on longer flights is a great feature.

If you are a novice or a few hundred dollars lost is going to hurt, then consider other options.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] schwinn8:
Short answer: NO. The FireOS ruins a wonderful piece of hardware. I bought this device for my wife to use it with her NextIssue magazine subscription. But, Amazon has now decided to remove that app, with no explanation.... and now they are expected to "block" the app from sideloading as well. Bottom line, I have no recourse and their support has been AWFUL for this matter.

I use Amazon for a lot of things, and have Prime... and I STILL wouldn't recommend the device to anyone. They've crippled the "Android-ness" of the device making it very limited in its capabilities. Sure, if you don't mind getting bound to Amazon, it might be ok. But any Android device can do everything this device can do (software-wise).... so you're better off with a regular Android device.
