I did that and also manually on adb shell (see my summary a page ago).

This doesn't work, no matter what filesystem (ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs, vfat, exfat).

There are no error messages during format, but when trying to mount, an unknown error is reported. The same when flashing a file to a partition. Everything semms to be written fine, but actually the storage remains untouched. It is not even possible to delete the partition. I delete using parted, no error reported, but the partition remains there.

During formatting, the kernel reports I/O-errors, those can be checked entering "dmesg" on adb shell.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPMAGMPC:
also tried that, error executing updater binary when flashing. also inserted dmesg command on adb shell and get I/O-errors also:(

Install another OS on HD. If you don't have enough space, shrink C to get around 15 ~ 20 GB and install Windows 7 on this new partition. I believe this is the only way to have fastboot access if you don't want to try on another computer.

Isn't possible to flash stock with RSD lite?

Really this thing puts me away from buying a new moto, if it gets returned from warranty with no repair. I was very happy with this device for the price, but now im really disapointed.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucariel:
Hi, I had a similar problem,

My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.

Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.

Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".

Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.

Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.

I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.

The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cxxxx:
I think this is not the same problem. Our battery was totally drained and then the phones flash-memory got into a somehow unwritable state.

You could try what I did here to verify if your symptoms are the same., but be careful, there are destructive commands listed (basically anything with "mkfs" and "dd").
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucariel:
I have been searching now for Hard bricked solutions, and i have found some, but i dont see my pc recognizIing my phone as "qhsusb_bulk".

Have any of you seen this when this happened to your devices? If not i'm absolutely clueless, i have tried everything i read on the internet.

The only option is that is a hardware problem and i have to take it to a service.

Wow, that is just sad news. I got mine in this state, and probably will go to junk as well, unless someone comes up with a solution. And to think the phone just went battery empty and then this is what happens. Just disappointing for Motorola. I am even using stock everything, and the only thing changed was the recovery and the bootloader unlocked. Just disappointing. Oh well. Guess I'll be back with trusty old LG.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
Yeah there is no solution to a hard brick unless you can find a motherboard which is used in this phone and can be used to replace the current one.

Other than this you cant do anything to in hard brick your phone.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodio:
This is not a hard brick, i can unmount then mount both /dev/block/mmclk0p35, /dev/block/mmclk0p36 and /dev/block/mmclk0p38 respective /cache /system and /data, install any rom modded or stock, but when reboot it back to latest state, but this is not "HARD BRICK", is a "SOFT BRICK" , so dont say anything what you dont knowhow about,

you can boot via twrp 3.0.0.0 then go advanced, terminal, umount -a to umount all partitions, then mount all writeable with mount -w -a, do all changes, but, something goes wrong, and in any place of internal flash have the old data what we need to erase, to not come back.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] bduerr:
I have now had my M9 for 2 days. As with my M8 on 5.0.2, texting seems to restart frequently. There is a delay on incoming messages and every time you start the app it seems to reload messages.

When you start the app the contacts appear but when you go to a contact the messages area is blank, the timing circle appears and many seconds later the messages appear. New messages may or may not appear for an even longer period.

After several texts you get either am 'Messages is Restarting' message or now I am getting an error report and a request to send data . . . .

This same thing that happened when my M8 upgraded to 5.0.2

Has anyone had the same problem or found a resolution . . .

As title. If I am playing music with the walkman app then waking the phone up shows the walkman widget and I can pause the music. After a few seconds though the widget disappears so in order to resume playing I have to completely unlock the phone and go to the walkman app and press play again. Can't remember if it did this before 5.02. Any workarounds? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
not quite rmb but back on 4.4.4 or previous, the walkman widget on lockscreen "probably" does not fade away, that is because KK and JB supported widgets on the lockscreen. on LL, it no longer supports that because Google removed it. "maybe" Xposed Frameworks has something but it requires to root your phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ammar335i:
So recently I downloaded the cm12 nightly ROM on my Galaxy note 3 (sprint). Everything works fine, but I can't make/receive calls or text. I took it to the Sprint store and they told me to backup the ROM, then restore the backup of the stock ROM and do a profile update, then restore the custom ROM after that... Problem is that when I went back to the stock ROM I still had the problem, even after the profile update... this isn't my first time flashing ROMs, I've successfully flashed C-ROM and CM ROMs in the past and never came across this problem. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? And found a solution?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rbeavers:
Odin stock tar file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Philux:
What kernel are you using? You should be using the Stock CM12 Kernel with the same build date as your CM12 Install.

If you are running a different kernel on Official CM12 it will cause you to loose voice service. This issue started on April 03 2015 Nightly and hasn't been fixed yet.

What Radio/Baseband are you using? You should be on NH7 or NK4 when running CM12.

I will assume you are doing a clean install each time before flashing CM12 by performing a factory reset in recovery which wipes data, cache, and dalvik.

If you open up your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* it opens up a secret testing menu. Go to Phone Information and check if your "Set preferred network type:" is set as "LTE/CDMA". If it is not, do so and see if that changes anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Sounds to me like you have bad download of CM12. I would download it again. Compare properties of both downloads see if you have the same number of bytes. Make sure you are rooted, stock OS, and a custom recovery installed. With the bootloader current binary and system status both having a "custom" status. Then try to flash CM12 through your custom recovery again. For more info just click flashing roms in my signature.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Philux:
Your on the wrong version of CM12. You need to be using hltespr. Your on hlte.

Download from here

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltespr
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Philux:
The old versions might have worked, but the new ones will not because of telephony changes done by CM on April03. Its getting hung up on the device name from build.prop. At least that has been my experience in the past.

Do an advanced wipe. Data/System/Cache/Dalvik

Do a Reboot to recovery

Then flash hltespr.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.5 btw.

Other things to try if that does not work:

You can try flasing hltespr ontop of hlte and see if that works.

Try flashing ViSXN3N custom rom and then flash hltespr.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ammar335i:
Okay I'll try that now, what is ViSXN3N custom ROM? I can't find anything on it

So I installed cm11 to see if it would work and it did... I guess that means it was just the ROM? Although I loved the interface of cm12, so im going to try and flash a different version to see if that works.

[General Monetization] 1a11ous:
I am in the process of designing a Money Management app for Android.

I want to avoid the use of any sort of Advertisements but at the same time I want to try to encourage my userbase to purchase the full version.

I know this sounds obvious but I would like to hear some expert advice on how you guys approached this issue with your apps.

Some of the ideas that I managed to come up with are listed below:

Limit the number of transactions to a specific set value (ex: 30) and then force users to purchase the app if they want to continue using it

Provide free access to the whole app but remove specific advanced features

Give users a 30 day trial period for full access of the app

Any further ideas I might be able to consider ?

How feasible would it be to implement any of the above mentioned strategies ?

Thanks,

I shattered the lcd and touchscreen to my MDA. I think the phone itself still works because when I push buttons on the phone (sound level slider, the end button to go to home page, voice dial button, etc), the proper sounds are made.

I plugged it into my pc and explored the disk to copy pim.vol to the pc--I still have that.

But due to all sorts of messing about (on my part, and thanks to the old computer I USED to sync my phone up with before that older pc stopped working)...I cannot sync to outlook. Actually, when i try to explore the Mobile Device on this computer, the folder shows up as empty.

So I have a problem here:

I have pim.vol copied to a safe place, but because my MDA no longer syncs with Outlook (for one reason or another) or ActiveSync at all, I can't use the Motorola RAZR sync program (which uses Outlook) to put my old numbers (which I can't get on Outlook) onto my temporary replacement, the RAZR.

Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, is there SOME way to get the contents of Pim.Vol into Outlook so I can sync with the RAZR?

UPDATE/EDIT: I have no idea how, but I plugged in the cracked-screen-MDA and ActiveSync worked flawlessly. I got the MDA contacts onto Outlook (and exported the outlook file for safekeeping) and I used the Motorola RAZR sync software to get the Outlook contacts onto the RAZR. Ahh. I guess I don't really need it anymore, but if there IS a program that can analyze a pim.vol file and extract contacts (from a computer), feel free to mention it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animefans:
My setup used to work

Windows 7

CM11S

MTP work just fine. Can browse OPO /sdcard from windows 7

adb device work just fine. I can run all adb commands without problem: devices, shell, push, pull, etc

Now that I have upgraded to CM12S

MTP still work. I can browse OPO /sdcard from windows 7

adb device does not work.

adb devices report nothing. No error, just nothing. As if the phone is not plugged into the computer [see attached screenshot].

But I already installed usb driver, both google's latest and koush's universal adb driver, and tried ADB Interface and ADB Composite Interface

Currently, phone is setup as follow

Setting -> Storage -> USB Computer Connection : MTP

Setting -> Developer Option -> Android Debugging : on

With Android Debugging on, adb device won't show my phone serial when USB Computer Connection is MTP or PTP

When USB Computer Connection is set to charge only, Android Debugging is disabled

With Android Debugging off, I can browse the whole /sdcard when USB Computer Connection is set to MTP

With Android Debugging off, I can browse only DCIM and Pictures from /sdcard when USB Computer Connection is set to PTP

Back in CM11S

When USB Computer Connection is set to MTP, and Android Debugging off, I can browse the whole /sdcard from PC

When USB Computer Connection has NOTHING selected (no MTP, no PTP), and Android Debugging is on, I can use adb.exe on command line: devices, shell, push, pull, etc all work just fine

On CM12S, one of these options MUST be selected in USB Computer Connection: MTP, PTP, Charge Only. This is changed from CM11S

Does anyone have any success with adb.exe on command line on Windows 7 and CM12S (stock kernel)?

If yes, what is your phone setup for adb.exe to work, and which usb driver you installed on your winodws 7?

Thanks!

EDIT: fastboot work just fine

When you're on CM12S you can't have MTP enabled if you want to use adb. Disable MTP temporarily and adb should work.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animefans:
timmaaa, this is what i could figure out

my only problem is: how do I disable MTP on CM12S?

On CM11S, I can

On CM12S, I must choose one of the options: MTP, PTP, Charge Only

If I am on MTP, and I press it again, the screen just grey out

and then I push back button to go back to main storage screen

and now I choose USB Computer Connection again, and MTP is still selected/enabled

Have you tried to do adb devices on windows on CM12S?

If you can, did you ever enable MTP or PTP?

Thanks
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Instead of pressing MTP again, select PTP.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animefans:
I will try to reconfirm, but I believe I tried that already

regardless of MTP or PTP, adb devices does not find my phone

EDIT: yup, regardless of MTP or PTP, when adb debug is on in developer tools, adb device does not show serial number, so can't connect to phone via adb shell
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilAaron:
Same exact problem here, adb worked fine until I turned on MTP now I can't turn it back off and thus adb not working.

No matter what I select or disable I always end up with MTP back on and no ADB working. Someone else who just got their OPO yesterday having same issue and what caused me to mess with MTP setting breaking my ability to ADB :/

Also another new behavior to me is that I cannot access "USB Computer Connection" screen unless I am plugged into PC. When not connected to PC it just rescans internal storage and go's nowhere.

Quick dirty screencast showing how MTP can't be turned off (sorry rushed and kid in background)

Good to hear, in a way...

Good is that it's not just me

Bad is that this problem exist

BTW, created this problem in jira

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3358

Hopefully this is a bug in the setting app where USB Computer Connection option is not required. Right now options are required

PS: and yes, I notice the same thing where USB Computer Connection is not even available until you plugged it into PC

PPS: I wonder what is the behavior of USB Computer Connection under OxygenOS and Stock Android (ie Nexus 5/6/etc). Having this data point can narrow down if issue is cyanogenmod OS specific issue, or it's a general Lollipop AOSP issue

if running adb devices on your PC can not see the phone (ie phone serial), then yes you can't install TWRP this way

This thread is intended to compare differences between MK1, NJ6, NC4, and MJE. So much info scattered abroad. I am very tired of searching.

Please list PROS and CONS you have experienced. And please list the rom you are running and/or if you are using a different radio than the one that came with the build you are on.

Yes I am aware that Lollipop was just pushed out a few days ago. I can not wait any longer to fix my phone. Keep in mind, newer is not always better (at least not right away).

Me personally, I am still on MJE running Hyperdrive RLS7. It is a good rom, but I am starting to experience some serious issues. Lots of little bugs and problems that break the OS to a point of unusability.

Trying to make a decision to stay where I am and just do a fresh install, or at least update to NC4.
