[HTC One Mini] joel_sinbad:
Hi, I have a HTC One Mini, all it can do is boot to fastboot, it can't boot to recovery, it can't boot to rebootRUU, just fastboot. This is the info:

c:\adb>fastboot getvar all

I tried to flash a RUU EXE, but it didn't boot to RUU mode, so this is what happens:

finished. total time: 0.156s

How can I fix that? Maybe if I:

1.- Unlock the bootloader

2.- Flash TWRP

3.- Flash a stock sense ROM

4.- With that stock ROM do S-OFF

5.- Try to fastboot flash a new bootloader?

I don't know where to start...

No, can't unlock the bootloader via fastboot, it doesn't happen nothing...

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryd3r89:
Hello Honor users

I am running on b313 (H60 l02) for a while.It's pretty stable and fast.

Until recently, my default storage was the internal memory. I switched the default storage to external sd because the internal memory was getting low.

After a day or so, suddenly I get a notification that the micro sd was removed. I remeved it and plugged it back in. The phone wont recognize it anymore. I tried it with my pc and it is still not recognised. I thought that was a concidence.

I bought a new card and after 3 days same freakin thing happened. My best guess is that sd card was somehow corrupted and I dont get how this could happen twice.

I ended up with two micro sd cards bricked, which btw were 32 gb, class 10, and almost no data on my phone.

DId anyone of you experienced problems with the sd cards?

What happens?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2PMintheAM:
My Note 4 has been giving me some problems recently, being laggy and hiccuping much more than usual. I pay monthly for an Equipment Protection Plan with Sprint, and I plan on bringing my device in tomorrow to see what can be done. I'm hoping for a possible replacement but I have no idea how Sprint handles my type of problem. Anyone know?

My device is currently unrooted. It's been rooted in the past, and I've installed custom Recovery's and ROMs in the past. I have several questions, please answer any if you can!

1. Can sprint detect my device has been rooted? If so, how? (and will this effect their decisions as far as repairing it, even with the Equipment Protection Plan?)

2. Any idea what Sprint may do? I've never dropped my device, it has NO physical damage and NO liquid damage. I've tried factory resets several times, will they hold my phone an attempt to repair? Will they give me a brand new device? Will I have to pay?

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2PMintheAM:
[Q] Does Sprint Buy-Back devices?

I want to keep this as short as possible!

I have a Note 4 on a two-year contract, I've had it for 5 months now. I am going into sprint tomorrow to either:

1. Have my device repaired/replaced (It's performing very slow all of a sudden, randomly super laggy).

2. Pay the early termination fee to cancel my 2yr contract, and buy a new device. (Don't yell at me for this d:)

So, I'm torn. If Sprint can replace my device with a brand new Note 4, I'll just get a brand new Note 4 (I pay for the Equipment Protection Plan).

But if they ask for say.. $200 to repair/replace my device, I would much rather: Pay to cancel early termination fee, sell my phone to sprint, and get a new device (GS6 or iphone 6+)

The problem is.. I don't want to go in saying my phone is defective, then they say "That will be $250 to replace it". And then I say.. ohh.. well then nevermind, I would like you guys to purchase this somewhat defective Note 4 from me. (They probably will offer less for the device, or not even offer anything for it).

What would you do in my position?

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:
Sprint doesn't care of you've rooted your phone in the past, as long as you unroot it. Doesn't matter if the Knox flag is tripped, they don't care. I've exchanged my formerly rooted note 4 because of camera issues, and have had no problem.

And they will not charge you anything if you have TEP as long as you can show a legitimate issue on your phone. They charge you the $200 for a lost/stolen phone, or for a cracked screen or water damage, not for other hardware or unfixable software issues. So just go for it.

Also just like Stryke says, Xposed makes it super laggy unless you do the fix like he describes

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

In fact, I've brought in a rooted phone in the past, told them it was rooted, and they said to unroot it first then bring it back and they worked on it

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanalan82:
Read my whole post a couple times before u do anything.... I kinda jump around a bit.

I'm wondering if u just jumped into rooting and roming too early. Seems like u weren't ready reading through ur posts. There are many warnings on xda about being responsible for ur device. Everyone here accepted the fact that if we f are phone up we are paying to get it replaced, not Sprint. Which should put more pressure on u to be ocd about all the steps and not be like, oh I have so much knowledge about all this that I can just not do step xyz.

With that said let's get to helping u.

I'm not saying that u messed it up though. It could be a hardware issue. But I'm thinking u haven't tried everything u could. Maybe Odin to stock KitKat, See how that goes. If that goes well take the OTA to 5.0.1. If it's ok at any of these points it was user/installation error somewhere. If it's not ok still, Maybe root than, install recovery and wipe everything, data, system, cache, dalvik, internal, external. Odin again to KitKat. See how that goes. Maybe take the OTA to 5.0.1 again. See how that goes. No custom kernel, no custom govs, no root, no xposed, no anything that the user can possibly mess up. Also u might need to check n see if ur gpu isn't hanging at 240mhz. If I don't have things a certain way on lollipop it may sit at 240. After the fresh installs that u try when it boots up let it sit for 10 min, skip through the whole beginning setup every time, and go back and sign in to Google after that. Don't do anything fancy, install a couple apps you would use and use normal.

Try out some suggestions and report back later. Maybe after a day of working on the phone through software can u rule that out and say it's hardware.

Also get all downloads needed done first and out of the way, KitKat tar, lollipop tar and maybe 2 alternate custom roms. Don't be flashing a KitKat rom while u have a lollipop bootloader or lollipop rom while u have a KitKat bootloader, might cause other problems or even actually be the cause of ur problem.

There is no "best" ROM. It depends what you want in a ROM really in my opinion. But if you want stable (speed/performance), I would personally recommend beetos optimized CM12.1 builds. Build 8 is coming later today so I'd try that out! :)

hi ,

im new here , and i want to know how to choose a suitable rom from the variety i see here at this site .

how do i know that i need a specific kernel , modem etc... ?

how do i know what includes every rom?

after choosing the rom , how do i know if there is specific rules or instructions in order to flash it?

right now i have an official samsung 4.3 android rom .

thnx a lot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Right, but all you need is to read. If you wish to use custom rom start from flashing CM10.2 to prepare partitions for newer builds. Than you can flash CM11 or even unofficial CM12 or CM12.1.

CM11 is almost bug free but it is KitKat only. If you prefer newest android sources than CM12.1 will be the best choice. He has some bugs but can be safely used as daily driver.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmns:
please , I don't understand what you mean - "start from flashing CM10.2 to prepare partitions for newer builds. Than you can flash CM11 or even unofficial CM12 or CM12.1." ...I really appreciate if you will explain me .

why to prepare partition?

is it include root+recovery , or I have to root it first before flashin rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
You should search for answers because everything is well described, but ok. You need to flash custom recovery first to be able perform any 'custum' optimizations. I suggest flashing TWRP, it's my favorite, but you can also choose clockwork mode (CWM). Just write TWRP i9300 in Google search and download newest version with .tar extension. Next install all necessary drivers (Samsung for mobile phones), download Odin, turn on USB debugging in developer options in phone's settings, run download mode and flash downloaded TWRP file as PDA.

Download CM10.2 file for i9300 and flash it via new recovery but first you need backup and wipe data/factory. CM10.2 installer will properly reparation your device first time you run installer. There will be an error message but it is how it's gonna be. You need then flash it second time the same way.

After that you can flash any new version.

Probably newer version would also do this trick but it is wise to flash the same android version of cm over stock rom to avoid problems.

It is in short version. Search for tutorials in this forum, there are plenty of them.

[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] amitr1sharma:
Hi, I flashed Vibe ui 2.0 rom yesterday. And there wasn't any recovery on that ROM so I tried Philz recovery after that my phone started booting into recovery every time.

So I fashed the same ROM again. To test which recovery will work properly I tried CWM recovery. After that my phone is stuck in bootloop.

It just show android icon and than restarts.

Tried to go in recovery by pressing Volume up + Power key doesn't work. Pressing Volume Up + Volume Down + power shows two option

Volume up - Recovery Mode

Volume down - Factory Mode

Click on any option again starts rebooting.

Trying to connect phone to laptop but it even starts rebooting on connecting. So SpFlash Tool is not able to do its work.

Fastboot is also not detecting the phone.

I tried installing USB driver but it says can't be done because driver misses digital signature.

Please suggest me some solution by which I can flash stock ROM or boot into recovery so that I can restore my Backup.
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Sactgr:
While trying spflash tool..remove ur phone battery
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] amitr1sharma:

[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Sactgr:
try these

Here are the drivers for windows 7 ,i dont think they work on windows 8 and 8.1..

Try these drivers and try spflash tool again..(not including ur battery in phone)

If the drivers didnt work then try on some pc not laptop...

Coz my phone was also not detecting when connected to laptop but it worked when i connected it to pc.

Just for the safer side.

Follow these steps..

Afte installing drivers ,open spflash tool. Then click on scatter loading and brows the scatter file .then click on download button.

After that connect ur phone (excluding ur battery).

And u r good to go..

These steps works for me like a charm .

And hope it works for u too..
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] amitr1sharma:
finally got it fixed

Final got it fixed. win 7 driver worked for me. windows 8 wasn't allowing me to install driver without digital signature. Once enabling installation without digital signature SPTool recognized my phone and I flashed the ROM.

Huge relief, I didn't have extra phone to use. Now I can use my phone.Now installed Philz recovery and restoring my backup.

Thanks a lot Sactgr for you help.

[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] aviwdoowks:
Yet the newest version 5 has many bugs on our Droid. The suggestion bar will not show in a browser. The resizer disappears after using. The newest version erases the backup when you reset to defaults while not so with version 2.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aitype.android

Update v2204 is attached.

I just tried all day & 100% indeed. Nearly anyway, I can't get the personal shortcuts to work. The current Play emoji plugin works.

The resizer works even in a browser.

Makes me question what happened with development after v2. Lollipop is a good guess.

Installing F-Droid & keep the app chooser "open" letting you choose F-droid or Play. Then just touch the screen to kill the app of the day.

Be mindful of the cut button in the middle of the 3 mode bar. It will clear a long comment with an inadvertent touch. There is an undo in the utilities button.

Bugs

Also "expand the textbox" kills the suggestion bar.

Sometimes the suggestion bar hides & you must close the KB with the back Navigation key & reopen by touching the input field.

The ”make it my own"/urban experience (lol WTF is that) is neat to get the popup & key pressed color to linger- I always thought to popup went way too fast & still does with this mod but lingering key color is better than the popup. Trouble is with all these screen mods it is easy to out-type our processor. Edit disabled the popup completely-just the key fade is better.

I have attached this popup-less settings backup with some other mods.

I included my backup settings to put in Android/data.

In Play store there are poor reviews for the new version (good reviews for this version) on our phone! On most phones the reviews are poor for the newer versions.

This top row has a 3 mode button for numbers, special characters or editing-a delete key & much more. As mentioned above the cut key can be a disaster at times but I have saved my posts with undo key from the 3way button.

Click on ai.type.zip.txt & copy Mega link to download.

Install but do not launch/open.

Don't bother with setup helper by launching the app after install. Next go settings/ language & input, enable the app, put the backup in sd-android/data, Go to settings, language & input, settings, prediction, restore data.

You need to disable (settings/app/) the stock keyboard & reboot too.

Download F-droid from Play, to stop the app of the day nag.

Do not select a default. Do nothing, just tap the KB to clear.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] aviwdoowks:
This is still my fav KB, the copy, paste & other editing buttons being right on the top row is nice when the auto appearing ones won't show themselves.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
If anyone is manually flashing the ROM using ODIN, check your CSC beforehand. There are two different regions of NZ that Samsung released the update for, which are TNZ and NZC. If you flash the wrong CSC version, your CSC will turn to an unknown state meaning that you won't be receiving OTA updates in the future. I have the Taiwan version (BRI) and I flashed the NZC version and now the CSC state is unknown. It's still Lollipop, but you will have to manually flash every updates released from this point forward.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tomqin:
NVM mine is still unknown after a reset
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LTE-X:
It must be how Samsung programmed its CSC for the ROM. When the official ROM comes out for your region, you can restore using Kies 3 or Smart Switch. Then, you will get OTA updates as usual like you did before.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zhable:
weird, I flashed NZC (formerly had BRI) and mine was still BRI. I did some benchmarking and I guess it was a little "dirty" and was getting really low results. So I just went into recovery wiped data and cache. Now my device claims to be NZC and works flawlessly. Best of luck

You could try factory reset in recovery followed by a cache wipe and a repeat factory reset. Flash the NZC firmware again. After flashing again go to recovery and do a factory reset followed by a cache wipe and another factory reset. Boot and check if you are able to still see the csc in unknown status.
