[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianpeso:
Being able to boot from NC4 bootloader would be a plus! Then I can go back and forth between that and my trustworthy 4.4.2 ROM. Lolipop might not be able to load from an old bootloader though. We shall see.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CovXX:
It was done before probably can be done again, not sure if they updated the bootloader just yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze5115:
Yeah that would be nice if we could go back to 4.4.2 where there was root for Android
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianpeso:
That was a while ago when it was done. 4.4.4 can not boot from NC4 firmware so more than likely 5.0 wont be able to do it either.

From reading HSBADRs thread, its looking like NC4 would be replaced by whatever the newest version is. There is no going back once you take his Lolipop ROM. So no backing up your 4.4.2 ROM before moving on because it wont work anymore. Safestrap will be gone as well and you will only have stock recovery.

Once you make that move to Lolipop, there is no going back to any of the previous ROMS that were released. That is a big commitment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze5115:
So no root for a while yet?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaim2012:
Hi, I've just updated my Z2 tablet to Android 5 and now I've noticed the EQ Settings don't apply globally (to all apps) anymore, EQ only seems to work if the app itself has an EQ Option.

This is a real disappointment and I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug or a permanent change, I have been using Tidal and now I can no longer use the EQ. I'm tempted not to bother updating my Z3 now.

Does anyone know if this is just a bug or is it a change made by Sony/Google ?

About 40% of the time when I open a notification whether it's from the lock screen or the top notification bar, it can take up to 5 seconds to open. I factory reset and the problem is still there. Is it a known issue or do I need to contact tmo for a replacement?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tonytien:
I have a similar issue, except for me sometimes opening notifications just unlocks the phone and doesn't actually take me to the app that sent the notification.
[Verizon LG G3] jbudness:
Hello people. This is my first time really posting my own thread on XDA. I was wondering has anyone found anything in regards to being able to use the stock G3 keyboard and camera on ASOP LP ROMs? I'm currently running the newest nightly of CM and I'm loving the blazing speed but I can't stand the keyboard and the stock camera app. I have a flash able zip of the lg g3 keyboard that works on kitkat ASOP ROMs. If I was to provide that could someone possibly look into making it work for the LP ASOP ROMs? I know the camera is a long shot from reading other threads about it, but I thought it was at lest worth asking if anyone knew any knew information on that topic.

Thanks for all your help or advice in advance!!
[Verizon LG G3] nhizzat:
LG G3 keyboard, yes. LG G3 camera, not without the LG framework. The keyboard is overrated, but the camera is fantastic.
[Verizon LG G3] theistus:
It's a shame really. The LG camera app is far superior to others I have tried on this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] jbudness:
I absolutely love the LG keyboard. I think it is one of tbe best ones I have ever used.

What keyboards would you say are on the same level or better? And also by you

Saying yes do you know how or where I can get a working LG keyboard for ASOP

LP ROMS? Like I said I have a flashable zip of the keyboard that works for KK if that

Would help someone?

Again thanks for any help or advice in advance!!
[Verizon LG G3] parkerbickel:
I found an apk for the lollipop keyboard on another forum. Everything works except vibrate on key press. I can't attach the apk link as I am a new member but it does exist and can provide a link for you in a message.
[Verizon LG G3] Illogi.xbone:
Agreed the keyboard rocks! One of my favorites I have used with built in Chinese, even though I don't use it a lot. =D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederik_j:
hi, after two years of good service my z1c screen has a crack in it which makes upper part pf my screen unuseable. So i am thinking of buying the z3c but then i read all the reports about (spontaneous) cracks on front and back. I try to get an objective view on this but this is quite difficult. How often is this happening? If i read amazon.com comments most people seem happy. If i read german amazon comments, much mure people complain about broken screens... What do you suggest i do? I was looking at alternatives like htc mini 2 but one of the things i really dont want to give up is the battery capacity! Your opinion?

Regards

Frederik
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakicamm:
I was in the same situation 1 month ago. Galaxy alpha was the only compact alternative, but i didnt want to give up my almost 4 years old sgs2 with 16+32 gb storage for fixed 32gb, not to mention battery capacity. So i called a service that replaces the fronts and backs of new phones, and they told me not to buy sony, because they are overhelmed with their handsets. So, i went and got myself a Z3C :)

I ordered 0.3mm glass for front and 3 different cases for back (using cheap silicon case with screen protection atm) to make it as safe as i can - so far everything is working as it should, and i'm very happy with it :)

Btw, glass on the back is 13$, front digitizer is 33$, and whole front with display is around 170$ (parts only)

Camera glass (which is plastic actually) is 4$, but its not easy to replace any of these. I also got myself a magnetic cable to minimize the use of flaps for usb port.

Thats about it... I also read many bad reports about spontaneous cracks, but decided to try my luck... As i said before, so far - so good :)

Hope this helps, sorry for being biased, but i really like it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
You get the gamble of an issue with every phone, but there'd be a call back if there was a wide spread complaint that exceeded a high enough number. That said yeah, there's a fair number of reports but most people are happy - it's unlucky people that aren't for obvious reasons.

I cracked my Xperia Z (C6603) and wondered if it was time to upgrade, or repair it. The repair cost would've been 280$ for a legitimate repair (I don't like buying third-party materials), and buying a new one would've been 350$. Since the Z3C was out and I found the Z too big for my hand anyway (Barely reach notifications when holding it), I figured I'd sell my cracked one (the current eBay est was roughly 100$), and 550$ for the Z3C in my country.

Since the Z3C was pretty much a no brainer if you want quality + hardware (All 'compact' variants don't compare spec wise) so I jumped in, and about 2 months I think now and my phone has been perfect to me besides the Cyanogen I'm using.

Figured the 100$ of selling the Z could effectively 'make up' what I paid for the Z3C... if I'd sold it. Still on my desk.

So maybe you can sell your old, cracked phone and 'save' with a Z3C. If you want compact, honestly there's no better choice if you're looking to upgrade.

If you want to save then you can always just get a repair or sell and rebuy a new Z1C.

If I were you, I'd assume that you'll get a perfect phone that wont ever crack unless you drop it. Weigh the other factors; Save Money or Upgrade.

If you aren't having any performance issues with anything like games, why bother upgrading?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Just like with any device, if something goes wrong, people write about it. I've had zero problems with my device, and I have not started any threads stating so. If the screen does spontaneously crack, you should be able to get it repaired or replaced under warranty, so why avoid it?

This is the best phone you can get under 5 inches. The performance is top notch, the battery life is amazing, the camera is just okay, but its waterproof and isn't bogged down by a heavy skin like Touchwiz. It's not a flawless phone, but none are! Even the fan favorite iPhone has it's issues (too slippery, camera lens that sticks out, large bezel around screen, poor battery life).

Get what works for you and don't look back!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] X_man.:
Every time I go into recovery and try to wipe the cache it will start like its doing it. But it never finishes. I left it going for like 10 minutes one time and I always end up having to hold power until the phone shuts down.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Harry44:
It usually takes a long time, let it be. It will finish eventually.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] X_man.:
Wow OK. Never had a phone to take nearly that long. Good to know thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] civiksi:
I did the same thing before. Yea this phone takes soo long to wipe. Never experienced one like this before. It takes so long you think it froze.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] X_man.:
OK so I left it alone and after like 20 minutes the screen just went black and the phone rebooted. Is this right? I figured I'd get some kind of indication saying the wipe was successful or not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Jhall8:
This is normal. The phone just reboots after the cache has been cleared.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] X_man.:
[MENTION=3802863]civiksi[/MENTION] Btw I also have a Droid X running 4.4.4 :D Runs surprisingly well Its crazy LOL

It takes hardly no time at all to wipe cache
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybertlc:
Does anyone know why there is no Photosphere function on the CM12 nightlies?

I flashed the Lollipop firmware, followed by the latest CM12 nightlie. Photosphere force closes when using the Google camera app (and doesn't appear in any other camera app at all).

When I flash to the CM12s official release, Photosphere again works perfectly.

It cannot be firmware related as I updated firmware. This was done via clean wipes as well. From what I'm gathering, there's some difference in the CM12 Nightlies vs CM12s Official Release as related to Photosphere's functionality. I reflashed between the nightlie and official release twice to verify, and it was the same result each time - works fine in CM12s Official, Force Closes on CM12 Nightlie.

Anyone????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] adam79:
Hey. I used to have xelecin's custom 2.26 ROM running with the 2.47 radio upgrade. I was having problems with it freezing sometimes, but my signal for phone calls was amazing. I recently upgraded to the latest official ROM on t-mobile's website and the same 2.47 radio upgrade. Now the phone is running better, but i have crappy signal. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xeno1:
Try out different Radio Roms until you find the one that works the best for you. I've tried a few and so far the 2.47 has worked the best for me and I have the T-mobile 2.26 Rom but a lot of people seem to think the 2.19 works better for them. There's plenty of different versions on here to try out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] adam79:
Is the 2.19 radio version your talking about the UK one I've seen people writing about? If it is, does it work in the USA?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kegobeer:
Yes. If you are on the Cingular network and you are using a custom ROM, the 2.19 radio is the best. In fact, on most custom ROMs, the 2.19 radio is the best choice. Usually the ROM cook will recommend a certain radio ROM in the ROM thread (normally in the first post).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] adam79:
I have a T-Mobile MDA G3 and I'm using the most up to date "official" ROM on the T-Mobile website (ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xeno1:
2.19 will still work. just go to the top sticky in this forum and there are several different Radio Roms for you to chose from. If you try 2.19 and it happens not to work just pick another one to flash. Radio Roms flash easily and you don't lose any of the information on your phone.

Ok, I thought it as the top sticky in this forum. I think I've been spending way too much time in here lately. Anyway, they are around here somewhere but if for some reason you can't find them let me know and I'll up any of them you want to try. I have most of them.
[Xposed General] opumps:
rom has just updated to Android 5.0, and sense6 toolbox and greenify worked fine.

tried to activate xprivacy, then got stuck in a bootloop.

can someone help me to edit some file to stop the check about xprivacy in Recovery

thus, i don't need to recover the whole /system

thanx guys.
[Xposed General] opumps:
got it, edit or delete this file:

/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list

can someone build an editor running in recovery for this file?

that would be much easier, just check or uncheck.
[HTC Desire Eye] LaPaca:
Dear all,

I hope anyone can help me. I am trying to update to the latest Android version which I got OTA today. I have rooted my device and I am running TWRP (version 2.8.5.0) since some time. (Rooted it to restore some apps using Titanium backup). When I try to update using the OTA my device boots into recovery. When I choose install and select the downloaded zip file my device gives me the following error:

E: Zip signature verification dailed: 1

Disabling the ZIP verification doesn't work as I will just get another error message.

I have tried sideloading the ROM using adb commands but so far this hasn't worked either.

Anyone can give me some directions as how to continue from here? I would really like to update my device to Android 5!

Update with solution (for me):

What worked for me was downloading the OTA update like I would normally do. Then connect the phone to the computer and copy the downloaded update file to the computer (should be located on internal memory/download/). Once you have the file on your computer extract it, and then extract the file 'firmware'. Inside this second file should be a recovery.img. If you flash this recovery to your phone (no need to unroot or relock your bootloader) you will then be able to install the update.
[HTC Desire Eye] JuanArg:
That's because you need stock recovery to flash OTA. It won't work with TWRP because the OTA ZIP works different than a custom ROM.

Go back to stock everything and it'll work.

Or wait a couple of days till the boys here come up with a lollipop rom.
[HTC Desire Eye] LaPaca:
Ok thanks a lot, that'll help me :) I'll let you guy know if I run into any more problems.

now we want ruu
[HTC Desire Eye] hbrajhbh1:
sir please send file link
[HTC Desire Eye] JuanArg:
Use these two files. First restore the stock nandroid using twrp (remember to choose NO when twrp prompts you to install supersu and root rom).

After you successfully restore the backup, flash stock recovery.

That should take care of it.

Are you able to install this OTA after you returned to stock .17.707.9 ?

You were on 1.17.707.9 and you received the above mentioned file as OTA ?

Can it be installed by stock recovery (un-rooted phone) or do i have to root and install twrp to install this OTA ?

thanks :)

after I reverted to stock version I get ota notification.

i flashed stock recovery and unrooted and then only able to install lollipop update succeefully
[HTC Desire Eye] prmah:
I brought my phone 4 days ago ... It is on stock kit Kat 1.17.707.9 (unrooted) . Now how can I install the above shared OTA? Can you give steps plz.
[HTC Desire Eye] pkzr:
1. i unable to install that OTA and i can not return to original ROM of 1.17.707.9, i still don't know HOW.:confused:

2. Yes, go to Setting > About > Software Update

3. Yes, it's can install with Original Recovery and it's not work with TWRP.

How to Revert to Stock Version?, Just uninstall SuperSU?, and how to unroot it?:(:confused:

go to Setting > About > Software Update
[HTC Desire Eye] hbrajhbh1:
as ur phone new one and u have not done any root or unlock so update is easy

check for lollipop update in settings/about/software update?it will notify.if update available download and install.
[HTC Desire Eye] prmah:
I think OTA is not available in India right now.

But when I m trying to install the above shared OTA(Google drive link) from stock recovery , a as soon as I select "apply from phone storage " phone reboots on its own .

I wana install lollipop please help.
[HTC Desire Eye] pkzr:
in usual way of that you have to put update file in Download folder in internal memory(after that you may have to restart) and then go to setting > about > software update, checking for update and wait the way that should be.
[HTC Desire Eye] prmah:
I did that but no luck.

placed ota file in download folder then restarted the phone. Then check for update but still the same message "there are no updates available for your phone"

:(
[HTC Desire Eye] ShadowMaker225:
So i just got the ota update today the lollipop for my country (Egypt) i had phone rooted with custom recovery TWRP i tried installing the update and failed.. then i flashed the stock recovery and still fails...gone to supersu and settings and unrooted it and tried again, still fails...

relocked the bootloader and STILL fails this now got me so mad because upon every install failure i had to redownload the update (it takes a long time tho) so if anyone could help me here i will be so thankful.
[HTC Desire Eye] pkzr:
in bootloader your software status is modified, right?, you have to unmodified it and i still don't know how. anyone knows please help.
[HTC Desire Eye] ShadowMaker225:
Yup it says "Software status: Modified" Anyone could help us here?

EDIT: I also noticed even when i unroot my phone through the superus it reinstall it when i reboot because of the system write protection so now i can't unroot my phone.... Any solutions?
[HTC Desire Eye] ShadowMaker225:
Finally after so many tries i managed to fix it..

So the problem was that the stock recovery i had flashed wasn't the correct one (it was stock and all seemed to be fine but it wasn't the right one) so what i did was

First i downloaded the ota update (again) then copied it from Download to my PC and extracted it then extracted firmware and flashed the recovery.img that was inside and that's it it worked even with root and unlocked bootloader

Hope that works for other users too :)
[HTC Desire Eye] hbrajhbh1:
good news.
[HTC Desire Eye] prmah:
This OTA seems to be corrupted. Can you share md5 .
[HTC Desire Eye] pkzr:
so i am, so mad and headache so much all about this failed:silly:

what's wrong with it, anyone help, please.:crying:

today i went to HTC Service Centre(Bangkok) for install new ROM or update, cost me i like to pay, but they says my Bootloader is UNLOCKED we can't do anything with this, i have to set Bootloader to LOCKED, then they will install or update new ROM for me. ohhhhh gosh i feel so hopeless there...:crying:

so i found a file from this www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads [see attachment], i don't know what it for?, but i tried to flash it with fastboot but it failed too, so what is that file for?

about RUU now have only AT&T/Cricket(USA), when another version will release?, i hope...:rolleyes:
[HTC Desire Eye] LaPaca:
Thanks so much, that did the trick for me! For anyone else trying, make sure you're recovery is unlocked before you try to flash a new one. Otherwise it won't work.

I've updated the startpost with this solution so it will be easier for others to find.

Has anyone tried this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSB_DhLncYE

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skaziwu:
The instructions for installing Cyanogenmod on the i777 specify using "fakeflash" to "temporarily" replace the stock recovery:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i777

The "temporary" recovery is then used to install the Cyanogenmod ROM.

My i777 currently has Cooked 1.2 w/ the AJK 4.9 noswap kernel. When I look into the Cyanogenmod 7.1 (old, I know, bear with me), or 10.2 zips, I cannot find a zImage inside. And, I don't see one being put in place by update-script. I the Cooked 1.2 zip, I find zImage, and it is installed by update-script.

So, if I go ahead with the "fakeflash", or use the custom recovery I currently have in place (AJK 4.9), will I be left with a Cyanogenmod 7.1 (or 10.2) and an incompatible kernel left in place (AJK 4.9 NoSwap,

not

AJK 4.9 AOSP for CM)?

From what I lay out above, it seems clear to me that Cyanogenmod zips do not include a kernel for the i777, but I find it strange that I don't see anybody else mentioning it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't do AOSP roms... but I can't imagine a firmware distribution without a kernel. The kernel file can be either zImage or boot.bin. If I'm not mistaken, AJK is a boot.bin type kernel.
