I had to update TWRP to 2.8.1.0

Then my nandroid back ups worked.

I got so many FC phone was unusable, no boot loops.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gSP33D:
First boot...

How long should first boot take after ODIn 3.09 back to NK4? Everything went smoothly, completed successfully, pulled battery and just sits at the Samsung logo highlighting. On the first attempt, I let it go for over an hour. I'm about 20mins in so far on this 2nd attempt.

NM...it never came up, so I pulled the battery, booted into recovery (stock), did a factory reset, and now it has booted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oscarthegrouch:
I am rooted and had twrp 2.8.6.1. I rooted it via custom recovery and update supersu zip method. I was reading some people were having problems with restoring a 5.0 backup, but didn't see which twrp was the problem. Someone said something about going to an older version, I think 2.8.1.0. Confusion started to set in. I didn't know if mobile odin pro would work in 5.0. I downloaded philz_touch_6.25.0-hlte.tar.md5, based on clockwork mod, and flashed it in the recovery section of mobile odin pro. It worked. I don't know if restoring a backup will work or not without force closing.

Bottom line is that mobile odin pro worked (for recovery at least). I'm not sure if twrp backups are compatible with cwm, but I would guess they aren't.

My note 4's internal memory is corrupt so I'm going to back to my note 3 temporarily. I'm trying to restock to get the OTA but for the life of me can't get custom status off my note 3. reflashed NH7 and NK4 and still it's custom. Any suggestions to get it back to normal status?

[edit]

Nevermind, I odin'd NK4 again and now baseband, firmware and build are all NK4 and official

I pulled what I think is the OTA zip, can someone verify that this is the file? Got it from /data/fota/

MD5: c22414b8b627e9a32e79a4a5d891ee57

Nevermind, tried flashing it with TWRP, says zip is corrupted

It worked for me...

Thanks to all the devs and fellow tech whores out there. The above method worked for me. Thie first boot after restoring to NK4 took a littel while. Ended up using Odin twice to make sure everything took. Phone booted and did the update to LLP 5.0. I did the restore to NK4 after first wiping the phone 3x in recovery, and then 3x more after it restored to NK4. So the update to LLP 5.0 started with a clean phone and nothing to get in the way of a clean install.

First impressions are pretty good. Great battery life. No FC's. Everything is working as it should so far. Some great new features also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steigerelli:
I went back to stock and got the ota (multiple posts in this thread made it easy to do). After running it rooted for 3 days, I'm finding it hard to live without Xposed. I'll probably go back to Sacs Rom or maybe even Kitkatkiller. I don't see anything too impressive with Lollipop anyway.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Hi my friends.i didnt see any thread for this fix.but its several days that recovery is working on locked bootloader with lolipopo,so lets start

Warning.not my fault for any bricks.I tested this guide 4 times now,all perfect

Be sure u have a lolipop rom pre rooted with r/w access

1st--Download the zip.extract it and hit BYE],It will ask for root.allow it and then reboot

2nd--Now if u dont have recovery installed just download nut installer and flashable,move the flashable to sd card and run the installer

follow the steps and it will reboot ur xperia to recovery,install the flashable and maybe u have to repeat the 1st step

Hi,

I want to install Viper on my GS4 i9500, i am currently running Aurora rom v7 based on lollipop 5.0.1. I tried dowbloading the zip for viper4android from XDA official forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223) however none of the zips were working; everytime i download and try to extract it says "bad zip file". So can anyone please point me to a working zip file for viper4android and also help me in installing and setting it up for the first time.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, i have downloaded and installed Viper and its driver as well; however it is still asking to install the driver every time i open it. Is it a known issue ? If yes then how to fix it; i have followed the instructions as given in the official forum.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
The point is that for Anhdroid 5.0 and later you'll need to set your kernel to "permissive". You can use "SELinux Mode Changer" for doing so, if you have no option to install a permanent "permissive" kernel.

BTW Please press the "thanks" buton at the bottom of my posts ;)
[General Questions and Answers] rbhanot2:
Its still the same issue, its still asking to install/update the drivers and even after changing the mode with the the app you posted it still shows SELinux in enforcing mode. Doesn't standard Linux commands like "sestatus" work android ? How to i permanently set the SELinux mode to Permissive rather than Enforcing ?

Isnt there any config file for selinux where i can make the change and then reboot the phone ?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:

Check your aggression level!

In psychology and other social and behavioral sciences, aggression refers to behavior that is intended to cause harm or pain.

Aggression can be either physical or verbal, and behavior is classified as aggression even if it does not actually succeed in causing harm or pain. Behavior that accidentally causes harm or pain is not aggression. Property damage and other destructive behavior may also fall under the definition of aggression.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] asci:
Well this could be really e serious problem:

using my X7500 I noticed the display light level decreasing a little bit. I supposed it could be a wrong impression of mine. So I tried to push the upper side of metal case and I noticed the light coming up. Then I made a little pression on the same edge (near HTC brand as well the lower opposite side) and the light decreased again.

I assume there must be a problem with led position under metal cover. It's eneogh a little pression to have problem with light display. Maybe it could depend on "shock" due to the keyboard hook-up that could damage led connector inside...

Please help and tell me if you have noticed same problem...

I turned it back to assistence...it seems to be an isolated case, and they could tell me when I'll have it back.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] asci:
HTC customer care: bad assistence:

1. they didn't solve my problem yet;

2. they didn't answer to my mail.

I purchased an HTC X7500 on 21.05.2007. After two days it immediately showed some problems related to LCD display. In fact on making a light pressure all around display metal case, especially near the hardware buttons on left side, the LCD background light became weak as it loosed brightness.

I brought it immediately to a technical customer care for reparation. After two weeks it returned back but the problem related to display brightness still persist.

1.	The backlight is weak and display is not so bright and not stable too as the very first time I tested it. Now when I connect 4 in 1 cable or mini USB one, and some time even when a set stylus in its lodging, by doing some little movement of the cables connected or of the stylus in its lodging, the backlight display increases to its normal brightness level for while after that it turns itself weak so that display colors appear not vivid and with a lack of brightness. Before testing it I verified that all backlight levels were set on maximum level with any power option.

2.	When I browse through menu icons and select them (without launching application) their appearance is not stable and it seem to flicker.

3.	If I set a white background on display it seems to be completely crossed by horizontal stripes and its appearance (color and brightness) is poor.

So today I had to come back to HTC customer care point to leave it for the second time in twenty day.

I would like to point out that I am a professional user and I’m really disappointed about it. I had to bring my device to a technical assistance point twice and the first time, I had it back not repaired.

Considering that, and also considering its high price and that it came with original unmistakable manufacturing faults, I am asking to HTC for a replacement of the device with another X7500 perfectly working.

Best Regards.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Good luck and let us know how it turns out. I hope HTC doesn't become so big that they stop listening and taking care of their customer. I would hate to look for another high end phone manufacturer.

so i have finally compiled cyanogenmod 11 for the sm-t230 but when booting the animation with the blue arrow gfoing round the cyanogenmod logo but thats it i cant get it to go any further. i have tried diagnosing the problem with adb logcat etc but adb tells me its an unautharized device??

can someone please help me or point me in the right direction for diagnosing the problem on boot??

thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
I4A,

okay, getting a rom to build through does not mean it will boot, it just means you have most of your sources in place.

Now you start debugging the build. First order of buisiness is getting it to boot through.

Reflash the rom and boot the tab up, connect it to your comp, and open a terminal and start the android debug bridge [adb]

adb start-server

when it's up and running, see if the tab is detectable,

adb devices

if the return on that command is an identification number followed by the tag device - good

if the return comes back with the tag offline or the return comes back blank - not good - check your kernel config and remake bootimage

ok assuming your tab detects, now you need to pull a logcat via adb

adb logcat -d

your are going to go through that logcat line by line, the parts of the legend you should key in on in the log are

E/ which is an error the number coming after it is the process identifier [pid]

F/ which is a fatal error and kills the boot process leaving the tab in a hang like you're describing

you can also run logcat through adb but from the tab itself, first run

adb shell

then run

logcat -d

Now if you want to get a better view at just the E/ errors of the F/ fatal errors for example you will pipe logcat through grep

to filter/display just those lines, like this

logcat -d | grep E/

or

logcat -d | grep F/

the buid log isn't of any real value unless you are trying to correct/debug a break in the build process itself.

m

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Okay for example, i just completed and flashed a new build for the sm-t330nu, Does it boot? No.

So i connect the tab to pc and adb, in the logcat output i find the following

[COLOR="Red"]E/GLConsumer( 243): [BootAnimation] syncForReleaseLocked: error dup'ing native fence fd: 0x3000
E/qdhwcomposer( 243): hwc_sync: ioctl MSMFB_BUFFER_SYNC failed, err=I/O error
E/qdhwcomposer( 243): hwc_sync: acq_fen_fd_cnt=1 flags=0 fd=16 dpy=0 numHwLayers=2[/COLOR]

After researching the problem MSMFB_BUFFER_SYNC

I find it has to do with RETIRE_FENCE support in the kernel.

After some more looking around I find either i need to disable a flag in device/samsung/msm8226-common/boardconfigcommon.mk

TARGET_DISPLAY_USE_RETIRE_FENCE := true

to

##TARGET_DISPLAY_USE_RETIRE_FENCE := true

or find the appropriate patch/code for my kernel, and re-run the build.

You don't need to run make clobber on every rebuild, you can just delete the directory out/target

or if you just need to re-run say, make bootimage you can delete

out/target/product/<device-name>/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/
