[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valentinitag:
My Nexus 5 is 6 months old, it hasn't fallen hard, doesn't have a scratch on it, but today the auto-rotate feature was not working. I didn't gave it much thought, but next time I picked up my phone, the whole screen was upside down (see picture attached) and had huge lines all over it, making it very hard to figure out or read anything, and the place were all the buttons should have been were OK, instead of following the change-upside down, so to write a 'A', I have to press 'L' and so on, for everything. Basically impossible to do.

I did a hard reboot to factory settings, and even on the recovery screen everything was upside down, and nothing changed after it.

I have been searching for people with the same issue and I found nearly none or no answers to that thread.

Has anyone experienced the same issue, and what was it in the end?

My phone is under warranty from LG still, but Im afraid if I send it for repair, they will just say is a broken screen, therefore making me pay for it (around 150). If anyone thinks otherwise please say so.

I have found the same issue for other phones (older) and some people say is a broken or faulty Flex Cable. Can this be possible? (I could repair that myself)

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
If you have warranty take it to LG.

It will be an expensive way to find out what is fauilty, the motherboard or the screen.

i flashed cm12s official zip with twrp and the twrp disappeared . now i cant flash it again with fastboot

note : i have untick the "recovery update " option in developers options.

some one knows how i can flash trwp¿
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetstream131:
I was having the same issue, what I did to fix this was:

Put the TWRP flashable zip onto your phone

Plugin your phone to your computer and used the fastboot command "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Leave phone plugged into computer

From there flash the recovery zip, unplug, and reboot to recovery
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKeyCracker:
where did you find flashable recovery .zip files ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You don't need a recovery flashable zip, all you need to do is read the FAQ I linked to above.

Is this Mod possible?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
Is it possible to go back to stock kitkat 4.4.4 ftf from a stock lollipop 5.0.2 without having any issues like losing imei number or any other problems? My xperia z ultra 6833 was not upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 with Ota. I flash with a stock 5.0.2 ftf via flashtool

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
You have to wait til 5.0.2 is rootable. Check Sony site maybe you can unlock the bootloader on lollipop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
Why do I need to wait for 5.0.2 root? Or unlock bootloader? I wasnt rooted and my zu bootloader was locked when I upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 with Sony flash tool. All I needed was a ftf file with same region
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I'm not sure if you can downgrade that way. I would try? Maybe not? If anything goes wrong you could always just flash stock again.

If you root and unlock bootloader you can move between android. I'm on 5.0.2 I can go back to kitkat anytime I want.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
Has anyone downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 yet? without having to root or unlock their bootloader. The reason I don't want to unlock my bootloader is because I accidentally erased my ta backup. That's why Im trying to get back to 4.4.4 so I can root and backup my ta again to unlock my bootloader. I just want to know if it is safe to downgrade my 6833 zu without root or unlocked bootloader

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Lollipop uses a different firmware so probably not. I didn't black up my TA .. I just went about unlocking it.

Try to flash a 4.4.4 ftf?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
Yes but I want to back up my ta first before I unlock my bootloader because if I don't I'll lose the xreality keys and warranty. so it has different firmware so 5.0.2 won't be downgradable to 4.4.4? so you suggest I wait for a 5.0.2 root.

Sorry yes I wanted to to flash a stock 4.4.4 ftf with Sony flashtool
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
I figured I would give an update I was able to downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 ftf with a locked bootloader without any problems
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] palalos81:
how did you managed to downgrade?coud u please tell me the trick?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
Got my 4.4.4 region correct firmware from xperifirm then I flash the ftf with Sony flashtool. No trick really just go to this site techbeasts.com/2015/04/18/root-xperia-z-ultra-c6802-c6833-c6806-14-5-a-0-242-5-0-2-lollipop-firmware/ then scroll down to where it says 4.4.4 downgrade guide. It's easy and Im a noob to sony
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] palalos81:
thank u very much.it also says how to rout 5.02.. has anybody try it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
I just rooted my device with the same guide just now so if your interested in that too it worked without any problems first time
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
You can't root ? yet
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] moazzam ali khan:
thank you so much man i was desperatly looking for this one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keltar41:
Yes you can I'm on a rooted lollipop Xperia z ultra right now and I didn't have to unlock my bootloader.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
So someone who gets an Ota for lollipop can turn around and root their phone? The only reason you're rooted is because you downloaded a pre rooted rom.

So again lollipop is un rootable
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
So has anybody followed this guide?

Was it effective? I am reluctant to unlock my bootloader but on how my xzu sounds on my earphones, I am very eager to install V4A.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yashkadam0012:
i am go to sony service center for downgrade the xperia z ultra from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 but they said xperia z ultra chipset cannot support downgrade there any solution for downgrade bcoz my z ultra only get software by pc companion and flashtool and custom rom cannot work plz help me i flsah custom rom then device stuck on sony logo
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fermtz09:
Has anyone downgraded c6506?

I cant find the ftf file nowhere :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
You're in the wrong device section. This is the Z Ultra forum. Anyhow, I see that you have the ZL, so I'll make this short. Tell me your region, and I'll make you a 4.4.4 FTF.

EDIT: I'm assuming the C6506 is the American version of the ZL, so the only 4.4.4 file that's available is the one for Puerto Rico. I'm building it now, so I'll put a link to it here when it's done.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Brandon.rush1:
working great, thanks for the early release!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
well, its not an official release, that was confirmed to me by the TWRP folks..

if you REALLY want to test that it works, do a nandroid of your current rom, then reboot to recovery.

Do a complete wipe of data/system/cache/dalvik, factory reset, then try to restore your nandroid, and reboot

If it reboots, and works as normal, then you're good to go!

If it doesn't, you'll know its not a good recovery, and you'll be restoring your phone with Odin or some other way..

Good luck!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Qarie:
I just rooted my turbo with Moforoot and it's been O.K. yesterday except the fact that i couldn't install xposed after hours upon hours. I was tired and decided to sleep and my phone fell off my bed and this morning it was dead although the battery was alright. I have a case on my phone and i've dropped it other times. It is also noteworthy saying that today i FELT as if my power button was sort of permanently jammed in my phone - it feels like the power button doesn't come out as much as it should- .

Main concern: my phone has been freezing every so 7-10 minutes after turning it back on, even after deleting and undoing everything that I had done since the day I rooted my droid.

Second Concern: I'm not sure whether my droid's power button normally came with a somewhat deep power button. If anyone can, can you check to see if, when you push in your power button, whether or not the button gets pushed PASSED the phone as in it gets pushed into the phone, unlike the volume buttons. Thanks guys. This problem has made my weekend quite hectic.

It is also worth noting that my phone has had no problems before, so it is fair to conclude that this problem is either due to the rooting, the tampering, or the dropping of the phone.

If anyone would be so generous and would post a video of them pushing their power button, that would be of great help too. Thanks everyone.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bookman888:
Hey - saw your post - I also rooted recently. Separately, was also critical of the right side buttons on a naked XT1254. They are too easily engaged, pocket-pressed or could be "over-pushed" or jarred in a drop.

Buttons: Put your naked phone in a good case that has its own buttons that overlay those on the phone. I use a Tudia hard case. It's bit thick & heavy but the Tudia's buttons take some pressure to push & cannot be pocket-pushed. The case's buttons balance the too-soft touch on phone's buttons nicely. Totally solved over-pushing and no more pocket-pushes.

Root:

I had a couple of crashes post-root too, but tracked it down to a SU conflict between AirPlay and AirAudio BT streaming music or vids from GMusic or DoubleTwist on android>Apple TV>hifi system. Problem solved, gave SU access to AirAudio and took it away from AirPlay and all's right since. Be cautious which apps get SU access and which do not. If your phone crashes, besides a regular restart w/ power button, consider a hard restart pressing screen + both volume buttons at same time. See if the ensuing rooted restart makes the phone behave. It did for me and I've had no probs since. Root freedom has its price! Good luck.

[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately, my power button was "over-pushed" in a drop (putting phone in pocket with gloves on, missed the pocket...oops phone managed to land precisely on the power button) and no longer works. The button is now limp/loose and no longer makes any "clicking" tactile response when pressed. Obviously it does not control the power anymore. I have been afraid to take it into Verizon as there is some clear physical damage near the power button and I am sure I will need to pay to have it warrantied. I wish I would have seen your advice to put it in a case that protected the buttons before it was too late!!

I just wanted to reiterate your point and also ask a follow-up question about your hard restart advice? I have never heard of this method before (pressing screen/both volume buttons). I am a habitual resetter of my devices as I feel like starting with a clean slate always makes them run faster, but unfortunately can't do this anymore unless I let the phone run out of battery completely (which is pretty much impossible with this unit LOL).

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what your question is. I discovered 3 button method of reset and found it worked. Had a few crashes the first days post root but since all's well. Zero crashes in 2 weeks. . Not expert enough to tell you why is works, it just did in my case. If you're apprehensive about verizon repair, find a local phone tech, it shouldn't be that tough or costly to replace a power-on button. Then buy a good case!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jfrostad:
I am wondering what exactly this three button method is? I am not rooted so it might not work for me (scared to root with the broken power button! thanks for the advice re: local phone tech, I will look into that), but how does it work? Where do I press on the screen, etc? If you could give me a step by step it could prove very helpful.

Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bookman888:
=====================

If your power button is toast, then this is not going to work, but if the power button is functional...

In any screen, just hold down Power + VolUp + VolDown simultaneously for about 3 to 5 seconds or until the phone goes dark.

Then release all 3 buttons and the phone will restart itself in a few seconds with the usual DROID animation screen. No need to press Power-on again.

I'm not a tech but suspect this kind of restart clears a few caches and the phone should run normally on restart, rooted or not. I've done this about 4 or 5 times with no issues. This method will also work if an app "freezes" the phone. It's just another way to restart. Let me know if it works out for u.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jfrostad:
Got it. Ya, I guess that won't work for me - I got confused because earlier you said "press screen" so I thought perhaps that might just be the phone screen itself (not the power button). I will look into a local phone tech, this is getting ridiculous!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Moondroid:
Workaround . . .

Just FYI, I'm using an app+widget called Power Toggles (link below) that offers on-screen tap functions, including power, for

rooted

devices. The widget bar is customizable, to include adding a button that will give you pretty much all options for restarting your phone: Power off, Reboot, Reboot to Recovery, etc. You have to scroll way down the "Add" list to find the power-related buttons, but there's a "master" button that provides several options on pop-up.

I believe it could serve as a good temporary (or permanent) workaround for a broken power button, as long as the phone is never actually turned off ('cause then you really would need a working power button).

There may be other apps that do some of the same things, but I've been using P.T. for a month or more and I'm extremely happy with it. Here's the app info (browser link):

Thanks for the helpful and informative post. I already use PowerToggles but am not currently rooted.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Moondroid:
No problem. Yeah, I didn't realize it was using root (on my Razr M, at least for the power functions) till I installed it on my unrooted Moto X.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesian:
Watching TV last night I noticed out of the corner of my eye my Galaxy Note 10.1 light up and display the logo boot screen. I thought it must be updating or something but an hour later it was still showing the same logo screen. I plugged it in and left it another hour, still the same screen. I then tried to reset it holding the power button down. It turned off and came back on and stopped on the logo screen again. I've tried restarting in safe mode but it never gets past the logo screen. I tried kies with no success. Today I downloaded Odin, the latest firmware and usb drivers. The odin firmware loading screen is the only screen I can get to other than the "off and charging" battery display and of course the logo screen. So I thought "what the heck" and reloaded the firmware through Odin. Odin reported a successful load and the tablet restarted...... and its still stuck on the logo screen.

So what I'm asking of you guys who know much more than I do is. Am I right in now thinking it must be a hardware problem? I've reloaded the software fresh through Odin so it must be hardware right. What can I do next to try and fix it or is it now an expensive paper weight. I was put off buying another Samsung before this happened as they haven't updated this tablet since Android 4.1.2 but the fact its just bricked itself means I'm definitely no longer considering the Galaxy s6 when my contract is up.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesian:
Usually I can easily access the boot menu and start in safe mode or or do a wipe to factory reset if that doesn't fix it but it won't go to that menu. I've had 6 android devices and had my fair share of freezing, crashes and dodgy app installs. I've replaced screens and batteries. But the programming and software behind it all. I don't know about that and that is where I think the problem is.

From further reading of similar problem with the Galaxy s3 phone being "soft bricked" I can only guess that either some section of the memory that should be R/W is now R/O and the Galaxy can't write to it when its booting up so it gets stuck. Or, as happened with my old Sony Xperia X10, something physical is broken inside and when the Galaxy gets to that part of the boot the hardware doesn't respond and so it gets stuck waiting for a response. I've had that happen with a computer before and as soon as pulled the offending card it booted up.

How ever its died so suddenly I'm not sure it is that. My Sony phone would turn of once a week and then it got worse, to once a day, to several times a day and then finally would no longer turn on even with a new battery. But that happened over months. Same as my Nexus 5 battery problem slowly got worse until I replaced the battery. The Galaxy Note just decided to restart itself last Friday and has been stuck ever since. Zero problems or glitches before it happened.

I need someone with a lot more knowledge than me to look through the log results from Odin and say "Yep, its dead, buy a new one" or give me instructions like "You need to download file x and install it in y with box 1 and 2 checked but NEVER box 3 and then reinstall the OS at high tide on the 3rd tuesday of the month" that kind of thing.

Anyone?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathWish42069:
You may be out of luck :(

It's either the partition table is corrupt or the efs flash memory is corrupt.

If the partition table is corrupt, tell me what model no you have and storage space and I may be able to send you a pit file to restore.

If it's the efs, you may be out of luck. I have an efs backup on my note 10.1 which had the same problem as you and restoring my efs backup worked. I am scared to share my backuo with you since I may get caught or worse, hacked.

Good luck.
