Has anyone got both Wireless (Qi) Charging and OTG working at the same time with any combination of ROM/Kernal etc? I've tried all the settings on ElementalX but like others reported, it seems to be one or the other.

Thanks

Nathan

note: OTG + Power is fine, but I'd prefer to use my wireless dock with a DAC as I get ground loop feedback using the same power source

Great question! I just ordered a DAC for my Nexus 7 (2013). I'm running Lollipop. I have my tablet installed in my car and have been using Bluetooth audio to my DSP, but am upgrading to a DAC for better sound quality via optical output.

While we continue searching for a wireless charging solution, which Lollipop kernels work for USB charging and DAC at the same time? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jmone:
I have not problem with using the ElementalX kernel and USB charging + DAC but... the killer I've found is is your amp is also on the same DC circuit you end up getting a ground loop distortion, which is why I was hopping for a Wireless Charging as it may help with isolation.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve27uk:
Please can anyone help, I downloaded the LG drivers and installed them but when I connected my G3 again it started installing LG drivers by itself, I carried on with the rooting but nothing seemed to happen, I got into the download mode but not sur if that was working because nothing was happening on that screen, I doubl clicked ports.bat and another command window opened, I had exactly the same as whats on your command screen, where abouts is my com port number, the only numbers were com3 & com4 and neither of those worked, I pressed any key to continue and that command window disappeared, on the other command screen I entered Send_Command.exe \\. \COM4 and I kept getting a little window pop up, I tried changing it to COM3 but nothing happened apart from this little pop up window again so I guess I'm doing something wrong somewhere.

My G3 has never been rooted before, does this make a difference.

im trying to re-flash the stock recovery, reboot and flash the rom 4.2 but failed !! i dont know what i can do to make the phone working again!

Well, i wish someone could help me, thanks a lot XDA:(
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
(bold in the quote added by me for emphasis)

YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE!!! It has been warned many times that you can not downgrade due to GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG.

The only time it was safe was downgrading from 4.4 to 4.2.2. w/Camera Update OTA as part of the SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo process for those with LOCKED bootloaders,

Based on the file name you are using (from your 2nd post), you are trying to flash the ORIGINAL SHIPPING 4.2.2 ROM which does cause a brick.

Now, based your two posts, It appears your phone is an XT1058 from Rogers Canada. Is that correct? or are you just trying to flash the Rogers Canada rom?

(If your phone really is an XT1058 from Rogers)... At this point, there are two options.

1. If you can get the phone to boot into fastboot mode, Download the 4.4.4 SBF for Rogers Canada (RCI) from -> http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100&page=1 . (NOTE: If your phone is NOT a Rogers XT1058, then download the newst SBF for your phone's carrier and model!) and use the Requirements and Option 5 from -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html and hope it works. If it works, it will flash you to stock 4.4.4. At that point, you can try to re-unlock the bootloader. And never think about flashing any other older ROM again!

2. If you can't get into Fastboot mode to flash, Go to -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057 for help.

[XDA Assist] SeanP86:
Hi all, have a problem with the build.prop. I edited my build.prop file and made it rw-rw-rw which on reboot caused my device to not get past the boot screen. I need to edit the build.prop and make it rw-r-r but because my device is a intel atom device which has a locked bootloader and stock recovery im out of ideas. I use a CWM Tether file to root the device but even with that i cant use chmod 644 build.prop. Also my device has no stock rom images on there site so im out of ideas. Is there anyway to get past this so i could set the build.prop back to default? I thought i had a copy on the device but looks like i aint.

OP updated with the twrp odin repack from yuga.

- based on TWRP 2850 for yuga

- changed TWRP splash curtain

- adddd F2FS binary from olivier

http://www.mediafire.com/download/38gxejrk6v3yrxe/TWRP285v4.img

Hope this helps, guide on how to convert /CACHE and /DATA to F2FS partitions. I've tried this before on my Nexus7 2012, and F2FS improves benchmark scores. Same behavior happened on my ZL, it improved benchmark from 21k to 26k!

Requirements:

1. ROM / Kernel that supports F2FS. I've tried this on CM12 build 03/12 and CM12 build 03/15, F2FS works ok. I believe this has been merged to CM since Mar builds.

2. mkfs.f2fs binary. Credits to Olivier for this. I grabbed his MultiROM TWRP for ODIN, unpack and grabbed the mkfs.f2fs binary. Unpack regular TWRP for ODIN and copied over the mkfs.f2fs binary, repack and flashed it on the FOTA partition.

3. Unlocked bootloader. Since we will be using custom ROM / kernel that supports F2FS, we need to have unlocked bootloader, or else it will result to softbrick. Hopefully when Sony releases Android5, hoping that their stock kernel supports F2FS so that no need to unlock bootloader.

Steps: (pics included for reference)

1. Make sure you are on modified TWRP with the mkfs.f2fs binary. If you dont want to unpack / repack, use the MultiROM TWRP.

2. Select Advanced > Terminal Command.

3. Start on /system/bin (optional).

4. Enter the command to format /cache to F2FS

5. Enter the command to format /data to F2FS

6. Reboot recovery to refresh / reread the partitions. This step is very IMPORTANT!

7. If you have custom TWRP themes, it will revert back to plain TWRP, due to /data partition being formatted to F2FS.

8. Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe.

9. Select Cache >Repair or Change Filesystem

10. It will show that /cache partition is now on f2fs filesystem.

11. Repeat step 9, select Data > repair or Change Filesystem. It will show /data partition is now on f2fs filesystem.

ADDED NOTE : I've also tried to format /system partition to F2FS, it formats it successful, but upon flashing the CM12 ROM, it reverts back to EXT4. I beleive this behavior happens because the system.img is in EXT4 format. This will be next project soon to complete ALL F2FS - /system /data / cache on F2FS partitions.

BIG THANKS to OLIVIER for the MultiROM TWRP and of course to CM12 for implementing F2FS.
[Sony Cross-Device General] phhuang:
How could I know that currently running kernel indeed runs F2FS?
[Sony Cross-Device General] benjmiester:
Sweet! I would love to see this on my Z2. It does wonders for my Nexus 10!
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Would be nice if you attached mkfs.f2fs here in this thread. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] qsnc:
if you are running a fusion3 based device (z, zr, zl, tablet z, tablet z wifi) with a nightly or a recent build direct from source, it supports f2fs. i merged support for it directly into cm12 on the first of march.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:
thanks QSNC youre the man! still figuring out how to set /system to F2FS.

Thanks! Then I guess my Z1 could just pass it by now...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Termynat0r:
It says

/system/bin/mkfs.f2fs: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

I got it working using this, although I had to set the permissions to 755 after pushing via adb.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CoolDevelopment:
ADDED NOTE : I've also tried to format /system partition to F2FS, it formats it successful, but upon flashing the CM12 ROM, it reverts back to EXT4. I beleive this behavior happens because the system.img is in EXT4 format. This will be next project soon to complete ALL F2FS - /system /data / cache on F2FS partitions.

I think it is becuase of the block-based zip-filesfrom lollipop. The zip file flashes a filesystem directly instead of mounting /system and copying the system files to this patition.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:
i forgot to add, im using official TWRP 2.8.5.0 for Yuga (Xperia Z), i just repack it to use build.prop of ZL and included the mkfs.f2fs binary from MultiROM TWRP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:

[Sony Cross-Device General] tarroyo:
Good looks on this! Gonna be following this thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Can't you format using TWRP GUI?

After I tried it TWRP won't mount the new partitions. Not after reboot either. Z1 compact, TWRP 2.8.4.0 with mkfs.f2fs repack.

Edit: Seems like stock CM12 @ Z1c don't support f2fs yet. I've successfully formatted cache through terminal in TWRP, but when booting I get bootloop. And TWRP still won't mount it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Your compile is much bigger than any other mkfs.f2fs out there. (Most is 166kb uncompressed). Why is that?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:
Quick update -

I flashed my ZL with latest unofficial nightly build of Shufuking. It is based on CM12.1 / Android 5.1. F2FS still works, im running /cache and /data as F2FS.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Olivier:
Your guide is a bit complicated - actually, you can just flash a TWRP build of mine (http://olivier.hubdroid.com/yuga/twrp/) and switch to F2FS, without having to download a separate binary etc:

Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select the desired partition > Repair or change filesystem > Change filesystem > f2fs
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shangrila500:
Hey guys, I luckily just ordered a Nexus 6 from Verizon and while I was waiting on it I decided to go ahead and download my favorite ROM from my Note 2 days, ParanoidAndroid, only to read that they haven't incorporated their app settings features into the Alpha builds yet. Since this is my first Nexus device and I have been out of the flashing and tinkering scene for over a year now I was hoping someone would be able to give me the names of some roms that have per app settings like PA has, I know PACman used to have them but I haven't even seen a build for PACman yet for Shamu.

One other question I have about flashing is what do I need to avoid when flashing ROMS on Shamu to keep from bricking it. I know some people are saying that CM is responsible for some of the bricks due to them including the bootloader but are they the only ROM that does this or are there others out there? Maybe someone can give me a quick rundown on what to avoid so I don't have a $649 paperweight on my hands.

I did after a bit of re-learning. Was on LGG2 for a while but it broke so I'm back on the HD. Turns out there is no official KitKat for the HD, that page is misleading and I've been spamming "System updates" on stock for half an hour.

Back on stock now (obviously) and can't manage to get CWM or PhilZ working, manually or through Myth. Just the stupid broken android. It's midnight here, so that's probably playing a factor in it. More tinkering tomorrow...

Okay, well I done did it this time. Got up to stock ATT 4.1.1, then when I learned 4.4.2 isn't actually available yet, flashed Blisspop, which ran terribly, trying to go back to stock again with same fxz, trying to update to 4.1.1, the update gives me invalid GPT, stuck in fastboot, and apparently my bootloader got re-locked.

Any attempt to flash anything through fastboot returns a remote failure. Think I may be ****ed here.
[Motorola Atrix HD] kabaldan:
Your bootloader is not re-locked, just your gpt partition has been made invalid by gpt downgrade done by OTA (and because of that, the lock status can't be correctly determined by bootloader anymore).

All you have to do to fix it is to extract the gpt partition from the latest att OTA update and flash it via fastboot.

(I assume that you've been on the second aka latest 4.1.1 update from att [98.5.38], then downgraded to 4.0.4 by fxz while skipping gpt and tz flash, then took ota to the first 4.1.1 att update [98.4.20], resulting in downgraded gpt, because the actual gpt on your device before you took the ota was the newer one from the second 4.1.1 att ota [98.5.38].)

EDIT:

The latest att ota is attached to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52657363&postcount=13

Extract gpt_main0.bin from the zip and flash it:

Good Evening XDA Note 4 Devs/Users,

The

Bad

News;

I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. and, Hopefully.. one that isn't permanent.

So, I was planning on reinstalling Firekat 4.4.4 after being on CM12 (Lolipop) Remix. everything went super till I went to wipe my data/cache. In the process of being yelled at by two people and in the stress of it all I accidentally wiped the system data too. Which, seems to have deleted just about everything.. including the original backup of my device, the two ROMS and the system OS. The phone is also claiming not to be rooted now and TWRP seems to have been deleted too. The only thing I can really do is boot into download mode which ODIN keeps refusing to detect. and, Windows 8.1 keeps thinking the phone is a Banana.

The

Good

News;

I May have a Backup of the Original Unrooted TMO KitKat stored on my Laptop from ODIN.

I May Be able to push the Unrooted ROM by ADB / ODIN

I can boot into Download mode.

So, knowing my predicament and knowing I screwed up. Any advice or help from here to get the device working again?

Also, I promise not to try and turn the phone into a brick again. :good:

Thank you in Advance! :highfive:
