[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robigouk:
Hi everybody.

Okay I'm not a techie. I managed to root my nexus 4 running android 5.0.1 with kingo root. I wanted the OTA 5.1 UPDATE, so unrooted, tried the OTA and it failed.

I've installed minimal adb and fastboot but after various goes I'm no further on. Is my phone ruined?

Under system recovery I'm now showing LMY470. If I try and reboot I just get the google display.

PLEASE - can anybody help (I go on holiday on Sunday and really need my phone!)

Hope somebody can help

Rob
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Just flash the factory image with fastboot.

Download the factory image, extract it. In there is a flash-all batch file

Boot into the bootloader and connect your device to the pc

Double click on the flash-all

Note, this will wipe your device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacksmith5:
Your phone is not ruined.... You may need to have to flash the image again. You might want to try using the "Nexus Root Toolkit"

Just search for it It will walk you through the whole process. You might also search for the SkipSoft Android Tool Kit.

I hope that helps Let us know how you get on
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robigouk:
All done. manged to put no the original 4.3 and then let it do all the OTA stuff. dont' think I'll be rooting again, put me off!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
When you say you "unrooted", how did you do so? I have found with 5.+ that in order for the OTA to not fail when you have been rooted, requires that you flash the stock images for the current version, as opposed to Factory Resetting, and then you will be able to install the OTA update without it failing. Has to do with out the updater checks the entire partition and not pieces, which is a new method. If one byte of data is out of place on System partition, it OTA fails.

I want to know the exact difference between hard and soft brick of different chipset phones. Are all same? Are all can be cured?

If yes then tell me how to solve the hard brick problem

Any help will be nicely appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] PalmCentro:
Goona say what i think but i am not sure... (No confidence lol)

Soft brick - You can still enter Fastboot, Recovery, Bootloader and Download....

Hard brick - Nothing works.

someone should correct me if i am wrong :o
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jasey_Wasey:
Hi all!

I'm looking for a *null* driver for the XDA Exec, so that when I plug it into my *nix system (i don't have any windows PC's appart from my laptop now) It charges the phone, I use Linux both at home and at work, and I plug in my XDA to charge, the light comes on, Linux can't find a driver, and the light goes out, and doesn't charge anymore.

I'm not overly fussed about syncing the PDA, but having a battery with some power in it, is always nice.

does anyone know of a way I can do this, or even syncing the device with Linux, would be nice, but not important.

Thanks

Jason.

Imei error
[G 2014 General] DanSparrow:
So, I've been using a Motorola Razr I for the past year and a bit, and I really like it, I mean, for such a low specs, it really is a beast, works pretty well and so, but right now I find quite some apps that won't work well, mainly because it lacks of ram. Sure, Moro G 2nd gen also has 1gb ram, but it really seems to have a better performance, and games also seem to work better on it than on Razr I. Now I wonder, if you guys know or have tried both of them, would it be worth it to trade my Razr I for a Moto G 2nd gen?

All of this considering I'd rather getting a Moto X, but here where I live, it's really hard to find, and Moto X 2nd gen is just too expensive here, and just more than I need. So I'm going a little bit lower than Moto X and checking Moto G. What do you ppl think?
[G 2014 General] RukusX7:
Everything about the moto g appears better than the RAZR i

http://www.phonemore.com/compare/ph...4-xt1064-8gb-vs-motorola-razr-i-xt890/1953495

You might be able to compare the moto x to the moto g as well.
[G 2014 General] cabba403:
its a great device
[G 2014 General] QuillzToxic:
Best device I have owned, I have had a few phones this price but never one like this.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
I have tried to boot in recovery to flash Xposed SDK only to find the phone is doing a proper reboot, even when using NDR and selecting reboot to recovery and when I hold the volume down and the Sony logo, nothing works,. I have tries using NUT's installer to add it again, although it finishes successfully the recovery isn't there, I am not bothered about flashing or wiping if I have to, but is there any other way first? Its all started when my phone won't recognise my SD Card, unless I remove it and put it back in and then on reboot its missing the card again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCArsenal:
Same problem

I have the same problem but do not have a computer. I was reading about it and found that after you flash a new ROM before booting it up, you have to flash recovery (especially NUTs Dual recovery) and then boot. It is weird since most ROMS have a preinstalled recovery and I do not get why we have to do this. I keep losing recovery after flashing a new ROM and will try to flash CWM. NUTs dual recovery keeps getting lost for me. I will borrow a friends laptop and get it done over the weekend.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
I've never had the problem before and I have flashed this handset a few times, recovery should have went on when I flashed the pre-rooted rom as I created my own, but doesn't matter as I have already tried to put the recovery back on. I will however try another recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCArsenal:
flash recovery without PC?

Do you know anything about flashing a recovery without a PC? I have an idea but do not wanna test it without a PC at hand. What if I extract the recovery.img file and put it on my internal SD and boot the phone? Will it install the recovery? If you know of any other way please let me know
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
I'm sorry phone software is not my speciality, I am new to this whole flashing and recovery on phones. I really wish I could help you. However can I ask you if there is now way you can get into recovery, how can you flash it from within the phone, can the phone read img files?
[HTC Desire S] tjhiwa:
I am facing a really weird problem.

Initially, my HTC Desire S was running CM10.1 ROM, with sdcard 32GB FAT32 formatted. Recovery was CWM 5.0.2.0. I saw CM 12.1 Lollipop ROM for HTC saga, and decided to try it out. Recovery was updated to TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, and installed successfully CM12.1 The phone was lagging, and decided to revert back to CM10.1.

The sdcard was not detected in CM10.1, neither when recovery was reverted back to CWM 5.0.2.0. I also tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga and recovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-saga, none could mount the sdcard. I tried other sdcards (16GB and 8GB), formatting them using SDFormatter, checking using MiniTool Partition to make sure it's not set to logical. None could be detected.

But when I put back TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, all sdcards could be detected in recovery. I reinstalled CM12.1, it could also detect and use the sdcard.

It seems that installing recovery TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial and/or upgrading to 12.1. had caused sdcard to be undetectable by earlier version of recovery and OS.

How can I fix this, and have my phone running CM10.1 again, with sdcard detected?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Try flashing 4ext recovery see if thats able to mount anything.

Theres a thread by me in Desire S General and its 4ext recovery as PG88IMG. Just extract the zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot. (or just use the PG88IMG haha)
[HTC Desire S] tjhiwa:
Nope, 4ext can't mount sdcard. It seems only TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial recovery and CM12.1 can detect the sdcard.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Strange. U should ask the dev of twrp and or the rom dev to see if they know anything bout it.

Check ur sdcard for any recovery folder (twrp) and delete it then try flashing 4ext. There might be something in the folder f****** things up haha.
[HTC Desire S] tjhiwa:
It happens also to newly formatted sdcards.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
How do u format the sdcard? Coz if u format it using recovery then it doesnt delete the recovery folder. Anyway im out of ideas so best contact the dev see if they know why.
[Moto X Q&A] marcelorepavan:
Hello guys!

I'm with a problem, I don't know if is there some app installed on my phone, that is sending my whatsapp or sms conversations to an external email...I think that is possible to be a spyware installed here.

But I want to know, if that exists, to what email that 'reports' are sended to or what app is doing that, not exclude.

Is that any log file on android that storage information about external email sended? Or external communication?

If this log file exists, how or in what location is that file? :confused:

[Xiaomi Mi 4] ichihaifu:
I've connected a headset to my Mi 4 LTE edition but it appears that even though all other sound is directed through the headset itself, calls still ring from the loudspeaker/built in speaker which puzzles me because I cant seem tho find a setting to correct this behavior under sound settings.

I have enabled Mi Piston-1 as a headset profile if that matters.

Any idea if this is normal behavior and if not, is there a setting hidden elsewhere to control it?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] shubhstiws:
What should I do in order to get a stock android experience feel on the MIUI 6?

I was thinking about installing the Google Now launcher, any suggestions apart from that?

Also to keep my phone snappy and lag free, what monthly maintenance should I do? I have had horrible experience with my Galaxy Note and do not want to happen that to my Mi4i

Will it be good enough to use it without a screen protector and external cover??
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] jahadmajeed:
Got my Mi4i today, installed the Google Now launcher and made it default... :D But this will not change the pull down notification/toggles shade UI or the lockscreen UI... If you want a full level stock lollipop experience, you will have to root it and then modify the ROM/flash a CM ROM, when it becomes available...

If you head over to mi.com India site, you'll get a sim card tray and screen protector from Xiaomi for free on purchase of Mi4i/redmi 2....
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sharingspider:
Weekly Maintenance: There is nothing as such which u can do apart from keeping it away from bloat wares :P

Using without Cover & Screen Guard would depend completely on your usage - If you can manage it like that - Go without them. I personally would be using it without any covers and stuff :)

If you really want a Stock Exp - Flash CM once its ported for Mi4i or any other AOSP Based ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] shubhstiws:
Thanks, but MIUI6 is awesome!

I used to prefer stock android, but MIUI6 just works, it has a solution for almost everything. And it is very very convenient. I am loving the ROM, especially the fusion of the best of android features with the copied elegance of iOS.

Little things like leaving the screen to where the app was last accessed makes a lot of difference.

Battery life is surprisingly awesome.

I got a screen time of 6+ hours after the first recharge, which is mind blowing.

Hope it continues.

Over all the phone is very cool in the hand and smooth in operation
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Manu11:
i got 8+ hrs sot on first charge
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] droidoc:
MIUI 6 is pretty good!

I agree, I was (perhaps still am) a big fan of the stock experience, but the MIUI 6 is so intuitively designed and looks so gorgeous that I have started liking it!
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] raviprakashji:
i got a scratch on screen when it was in same pocket where i kept keys. So don't even think of using without tempered glass or screenguard. :crying:
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] raghurama.j:
I feel the same, Some how I do not like MIUI, I always like Stock Android experience.

Only way to experience is b installing Google Now Launcher. But this doesn't work quite well on this device. It shows black pages in App drawer and black rectangular boxes on home page...

Maybe need to wait to get this device rooted.....
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] ah.khiang:
miui is lagging like hell, its beauty but is lagging very very very much, i hate it
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sharan.nyn:
I just thought the same!

My only reason to stay on MIUI is due to its camera. I was thinking somehow remove all the memory hogging MIUI crap except the camera and install some launcher like Nova.

Need some help regarding which files are safe to remove so the phone + camera app works :D
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] faiso333:
non expandable storage kills the mobile or else its good
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] compgenie:
If you want to switch, flash these -

1)Resurrection Remix (ROM)

2)Snapdragon Camera V2 (Keep the camera quality intact)

3)Viper4Android (Fix bad speaker and greatly improve jack audio)

4)Sensei Kernel (no heating issues - EVER, butter smooth performance all around, nearly a 2 day battery life)

With Snapdragon Camera -

Go to settings, change Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness to Level 6(Sharpness Level 2 is horrible)

Keep in mind that these settings can reset themselves after switching between HDR and normal, so check those first.

Enable Wavelet Denoise Mode too!

For Sensei Kernel -

1) Use zzmove governor for the big cores (high power), interactive for the LITTLE cores (low power).

2) Alucard CPU Hotplug - Max cores on screen on - 8, screen off - 2

3) I/O scheduler - zen, set read ahead to 1024kB

Now head over to Configurations in the Settings menu, go to performance tuning and force GPU for 2D rendering. This will affect battery life a little but will eliminate any kind of lag.

This is all I did and I'm very, very satisfied.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sharan.nyn:
Thanks for the reply :D. I will give RR ROM a try too.

Though I have installed the SD camera on MIUI itself but the quality is not as good as MIUI camera. I have to say though SD camera is the only replacement for custom ROMs
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] compgenie:
Yeah, that's true. Every other camera lags so much.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Zzan:
sounds like the IMEI is blacklisted. Did you purchase it yourself from your carrier? or did you buy it off ebay, or somewhere/one else? If so it could have been stolen and the original owner reported it stolen :(

You are going to have to talk to your carrier if you purchased it from them. If you got it elsewhere you may just have a PDA and no phone :( because I don't think you carrier will help you in that case :(

HEY!

Lollipop Was Released For I9505 with a log of bug. The System was slow, apps were slower.

Tried on Stock Rom. Can try on others too.

The Main Problem That Existed With The Device Was The Recents Lag.

The Recents, whenever opened and scrolled, it was very much frustating.

Today, after much hard work, here I present You The Fix.

The Problem Was With The SystemUi Of The Phone.

So I Looked upon hard on it, and finally fixed it.

The Steps Are As Follows:-

1. [Most Important] Backup Your SystemUI.apk.

2. Download Any of the root explorers, go to system<priv-app<systemui.

3. Replace the systemui.apk with the given one.

KABOOM!

Your Recents Is As Fast as any other lollipop phone!​
