[XOLO A500S] firozSujan:
Thanks. The problem is solved by flashing preloader.bin then I have installed another rom with spTools but my display is broken. Its turned into white with black vertical lines, same in the recovery mode, any suggestions for solving this? And I don't know how to make scatter from zipped rom of cwm to sptools flash-able. can you help me on this?
[XOLO A500S] FajarMF28:
its nice to see the problem is solved. well, i think that's the problem on the lcd drivers. you might want to flash the original boot.img.

and about making a scatter, it's really easy. you just need a working rom (the one that's currently installed on your phone), then open mtk tools (its somewhere in xda), click root, then click on the scatter button.

you can of course make a full backup of your current rom using mtk tools
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yanis15:
Hello guys, after screwing up my phone I'm using my tablet a lot more. So i'm experiencing some problems. The screen problems increase when i use the tablet more often, but i don't have this phantom touch problems it's actually the screen stop working. It just stays on lock screen and me unable to unlock it, i restart the tablet and still doesn't work. However the strange part is that when i hit the back of the tablet in something it immediately starts to work??? I know about the N7 touch screen issues, but i thought they were software based? But mine looks like it's hardware problem? Can you explain me and help me? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yanis15:
Can somebody answer me??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
If it's hardware, it's most likely, though not exclusively, the cable connections. You need to take the back cover off, and reseat them one by one. Takes a little work because there are 3 cables, one with 2 prongs. Reseat all of them if you can since you don't really know which one caused the problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yanis15:
Warranty?

Ok i saw some videos that it may be replacing the screen cables just as you said, but i have warranty. What to do? If i take it to warranty center it's most likely it will work there at the moment? It stops in random times.. What to do?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Gorgtech:
Removing the back without voiding the warranty is very simple but make sure that you will wear some sort of protective gloves and not touch any copper foil at all ( or you end up with finger prints.. ). Simply reattach the touchscreen connector cable only and you´re good to go.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yanis15:
Thanks for the info. Actually i can fix it easly not by hitting, but just by pressing the back cover. I saw where the cables are in a video and can permanently fix it by putting something between the back and the cables to keep thwm in place. And when i press they just go in place. For now i will just press it when needed. If the problem increases i will open and reattach all cables in place. Thanks for answers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Chocolina:
I have an anti-theft app whose importance that I put above all others. The problem is I can't root because I don't want to trip Knox. But without root, I can't hide the app in root to survive a reset/factory reset. And so all the anti-theft precautions I put on my phone means nothing if just anyone can just go into recovery and delete everything...

Can you lock recovery, or root without tripping knox?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ingenious247:
Yes. Encrypt your phone. Other than that, no.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Chocolina:
TY!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] andrewNY:
Can't even an encrypted phone be wiped? What if you forget the password?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ingenious247:
Yes, the ENTIRE phone can be wiped, but he's talking about someone wiping a security app and then getting at his information inside the phone.

Wiping the phone entirely was not his concern.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Chocolina:
Wiping the entire phone isn't my concern, its the prevention to wipe it.

Since I cannot root the phone without tripping knox, then above-all else, I want to lock any potential theif to have no access to recovery, no access to Developer tools, but more importantly debugging, and no access to Factory reset under backup and restore. If I could root without tripping knox, all or most my problems would be solved.

When I had an HTC One M7 and had it stolen, I got lucky because I had no password on access to my device's functions, but the Anti-theft program of my choice, Cerberus was installed into root and was designed to survive all factory wipes and stay hidden as a system process. I managed to recover my phone 2-days after. The reason I prefer Cerberus over other other anti-theft apps because Cerberus has some extensive features and parameters on it's behavior. Example: you could send a command to start GPS tracking by SMS, and if by chance they remove or use their own SIM, you could set parameters to start GPS tracking or do a specific function when it detected no SIM or an unauthorized SIM.

Idealy what I want is a lock on Recovery, Factory Reset, and USB Debugging. The idea is to lock all the reset and modding options while still inviting the thief to continue using and charging the device in the regular OS so they feel comfortable keeping the device charged and always connected. If I just set a system-wide password, then all functions are locked with a password. If the thief knows they can't use or play with the device, they won't try to connect the phone, instead they'll just turn the phone off, won't charge it, or just boot into recovery and delete everything.

Cerberus can lock USB Debugging, the Power Button, and the Notification tray, but it won't/can't lock Factory Reset, but can survive any reset if rooted.

A system-wide password can protect from a Factory Reset in the OS menu, but doesn't protect in recovery, and locks the user out preventing them to trigger any "Start GPS tracking" triggers I might place.

Encryption, if it does lock Recovery, can lock recovery, and work with Cerberus to lock USB Debugging, but requires a system-password and would prevent any parameters set from being triggered.

Right now the best alternative I have is a system password with Cerberus which blocks the phone from being shut off, but would only be good for a day unless the theif decides to keep a stolen, locked phone charged. And I sometimes keep my phone in airplane mode to save energy, but if it gets stolen in airplane mode, it can't ever be taken out, and so GPS tracking couldn't be activated by Data or SMS. So really not being able to root without tripping knox is preventing me from reaching an exact configuration I'd be happy with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] brainard52:
There's a beta app called PingPong that uses a vulnerability to achieve root without tripping KNOX which I used to great success. You may be able to root, install the app (and then un-root if you wanted to). That's what I'd recommend.

In regards to the following article: http://www.xda-developers.com/psa-g...ock-affects-many-5-x-roms/#comment-1976777656

I've earlier posted an anonymous suggestion to resolve the above matter by mentioning the use of Battery GSAM -> App -> Manage -> Disable 'Update Service' to prolong the battery life, which I'm now currently still observing if that could be a real help.

Based on current observation, the moment I've had the above done, my battery life stay stagnant at 89% from 10.35am till now 12.05 pm, without any further drastic drop. Hence, I've shared the above comment to XDA as part of the above article comment & hope that it will be a good help and benefit to the community.

However, I noticed that my submitted comment initially went into pending moderation, while later being removed without any reasoning.

I hope the moderator is not cancelling some of the idea / suggestion which could benefit the community ground, and brand it to their own advantage.

I am attempting to root this device (the Cricket variant) using the instructions on this forum, but have run into a serious problem. While Ubuntu sees the device when booted regularly and will pass control over to Virtualbox, Ubuntu (14.04) seems unable to see the device when it is in Odin mode, making it impossible in turn to see it in Virtualbox and perform the root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoninROM:
Hi,

I'm in the process of creating my first android ROM, and am trying to splice features from one rom onto AOSPA which I am using as my base.

How do you do this? I presume it involves downloading the repos and editing build instructions, I'm not sure how. Also, in the meantime, how do I add packages contained in Zip files to my ROM?

Yes, I know I'm a complete noob, all I know is repo, a few linux commands, and how to build what is already there.

In a couple of months, I will hopefully release a wonderful stable ROM for the OnePlus One!

Thanks so much for your help!

P.S. As a bit of a sneak peek, here are some of the features I am adding:

•	Viper4Android Mod (For all the audiophiles)

•	ExtremeBeatz Mod (Works with Viper by adding some profiles and audio drivers for better speaker and headphone performance)

•	CameraNext Mod (Original OPO camera with more features)

•	XPLiX Graphics Mod (Includes Ad-Blocker, Internet Speed Booster and Ram Modifications)

•	Music VisualizerView (Graphic Equalizer to Notification panel)

•	Nitro X Spark Ultimate Mod (Smoooth nitro fast performance)

•	init.D, Busybox and Chanfire's SuperSU pre-installed (These are more requirements for the build than they are for you)

•	Xposed (For sweet extra features)

Based on AOSPA Lollipop 5.0.3

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Galaxo60:
I personally don't charge my phones through night, I prefer to fully charge them just after I arrive home and before I'm going to sleep, and my battery health in my last phones has been healthy and not decreasing the performance so quickly.

I think the whole point to get a Turbo charger is this, to be able to make the phone charge quickly and don't let them plug to the wall the whole night.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blkdrgn415:
I (assumed) bricked my Moto G LTE today and just ordered another one. How it happened was that I factory reset my phone, but the setup stopped working after I finished it so I had no launcher. I naturally panicked and booted into recovery using ClockworkMod, but it didn't work. Eventually it got to the point where it was stuck at the Motorola "M" logo, so I continued to factory reset with ClockworkMod and installed a zip hoping a stock would fix it. It did not, since I misunderstood and now my phone is currently stuck at the warning bootloader screen (replaced by "Motorola powered by Android").

So I gave up and ordered the "Motorola Moto G - Universal 4G LTE - GSM Unlocked - 8GB (Black)" from Amazon.

To prevent something like that happening again what are some things I need to do to ensure I'll always have a safe recovery? I'm also overwhelmed by how many ways there are to root a Moto G LTE and could use some direction. I'm also confused on how I can find the appropriate stock ROM of 4.4.4 for my new XT1045.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadA:
I am in no way an expert but here is my few cents :

0) make sure your bootloader is unlocked, see motorola website

1) Install TeamWin recovery latest version. For that just use adb to connect to your phone in debug mode and flash it, read up on that. Its easy process once you know it.

2) Hold vol down and power for a bit then release power, that goes into fastboot/bootloader, in which you press down then up to get into recovery.

3) erase everything from recovery, this should destroy your OS, to start at a clean slate.

4) make sure all your drivers are install on pc, for all modes that the phone can be in, so in the recovery now you should even see ur phone using adb devices

5) do a side load using adb of the rom your want to load, should take seconds

6) restart phone, rom should work, check it all out

7, if there is no root, then go back into recovery and install Super SU zip file, you can find.

Look at this guide: http://www.swedroid.se/forum/thread...nlock-recovery-root-guide-for-windows.106595/ it has all the tools you should need.

Oh, and don't panic, its very hard to really brick your phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blkdrgn415:
Thanks for the help. Is it OK to use the guide even though it's intended for 4.4.2? What's the difference between CWM and TWRP, which one is better? In the scenario where I need to load the stock ROM because of corrupted recovery like before, how would I do that?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBobby:
For the Moto G hands down twrp

You can even flash IMG files after 2.8( if you even need to heh)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blkdrgn415:
I just got my new phone today from Amazon. Apparently it's a XT1039 rather than my old XT1045. Is there a difference? I'm in the U.S. if that matters.

Edit: While following the guide [MENTION=4537830]MuhammadA[/MENTION] linked, I can't flash any recovery for some reason. When I try to flash them, my phone says "Mismatched partition size (recovery)" and when I try to launch "Recovery" it says "Boot up failed"

Edit: Found the problem. I don't know what it was, but I used a different version of CWM called "Unofficial CWM - 6.0.5.0 - peregrine" by Shabbypenguin and the OUDHS.

Edit again: The first thing I decided to do when I installed CWM was to backup my system, the first backup to my phone which went well and finished in a minute or so. When I started another one to my external SD card, it's stuck on "Generating MD5 checksums..." for about 20 minutes. Is it safe to force restart it via the power button?
