Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. To root your device see this, http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/guide-root-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2874245 But I wouldn't get your hopes up about recovering a deleted file. Especially after a factory reset.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnoyes123:
I recently installed CM11 via SD card method (Cyanogenmod Universal Bootloader) onto my Nook HD+. I was wondering if there is a way to install the normal CM11 bootloader directly into the eccm so I no longer need to use the SD card to load the universal CM bootloader tool. When I remove the SD card the Nook will not load anything or even turn on. I tried using the CM11 eccm method of installing directly to my Nook HD+ internal memory but it never worked so I'm stuck using the 'dual boot' method where I have to always use the recovery method to turn on the Nook then press and hold the 'n' button to load into internal memory where CM11 resides.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You must have corrupted the bootloader on internal memory. I suggest you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and create a different CWM SD per item 1a. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a factory reset with CWM. That should take you back to stock so you can start over with the install of emmc CM11. Remember you need to use an updated CWM to install CM11.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnoyes123:
I Want to boot straight into CM11 Without SD Card

Thanks Leapinlar! I'll try that since I would much rather have the Nook boot directly into CM11. I have no use for Dual Boot or the Stock OS.

Lack of Better options

Really if u want to free up more ram or make less ram usage then do that by properly optimizing the rom, and not by deleting important apps like Camera.apk andDeskclock.apk ( in v2.5), how will one set the alarm now or take pictures?? U even replaced the jellybean galary with the android 2.3 gingerbread galary (which is even more slow ).

So, If thats how u plan to lower ram usage, u may delete the complete system directory, because a bricked phone has zero RAM usage, right???

And secondly, please use a better launcher, there are a lot of launchers which use less ram, u could have used Perfect launcher in place of that idiotic lightning launcher u used, both use the same amount of ram to work.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ripx88:
Ok so I have been having this issue since I got on 5.1.1 removed my google account (forget the exact reason why) and when I go and try to add it again I keep getting a ”Google pay services has stopped responding” I have cleared data on google services framework, google account manager, google play store, google play service and also google play games just for good measure. When I click add account it goes to a screen and says "Checking info" with a bar going across the screen. Then it stops less then 5 seconds later saying google play services stopped responding. Occasionally when I clear the data on the programs above I will get to a screen that says "just one sec" after the checking info one however it still doesn't work.

I have already tried a factory reset, have cleared everything through fast boot and then reinstalled 5.1.1 its been doing it since I've gotten on 5.1.1 never did this on a custom ROM as well as 5.0.1/5.0.2. Anybody have any idea how to fix this? A lot of things are unusable without a account set up. I'm pretty stumped honestly. Have also tried reinstalling google play services and the play store. I am rooted, custom kernel, TWRP. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Unfortunately this is a "feature" of kitkat and above called immersion mode. Good app designers will give users a choice on if they want it enabled and bad ones will not. You can still swipe down from the top of the screen to show the notification bar (status bar) briefly but it will cover part of the app in the process since it is not really part of the screen anymore.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckaidi:
Hey guys please advise.

My magnetic port is coming loose and harder to charge now. Planning to send to warranty claim.

Thing is its rooted. And I hardly use my old pc now. So checking is there any easier way to remove root other than reflash the stock rom?

Super thanks to everyone!!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
The easiest way is to use PC and flash stock ROM, otherwise if you just unroot manually you could leave some files on the system that could only be there from root.

Even easier than using flashtool would be to force a software repair from PCComapnion, but be aware this wipes all user data, but will leave your phone in the exact same state as when you unboxed it.

However, if you rooted via unlocking the bootloader, then the only way to restore it to factory state is to restore the TA partition backup you should have made prior to unlocking and then flashing a stock ROM before rebooting if you are on a non stock kernel/ROM (To avoid bootloops)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilal1214:
how could i possibly unroot through pc companion it says that software is modified and cannot be updated.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You do not mean root then, you mean unlocked bootloader. To relock the bootloader just restore your TA patition backup

Hi folks,

I have searched high and low for the settings for UK Vodafone MMS that actually work.

If you go to Messaging>MMS>menu>tools>options> and then choose MMS>servers

I have created a setting called wap.vodafone.co.uk with these settings:

Server Name: wap.vodafone.co.uk

Gateway: 212.183.137.012

Port Number 8799

Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms/

Connect Via: The INternet

Sending Size Limitation: 300k

WAP Version: WAP 2.0

This does not work for me. If you have succesfully got MMS working on Vodafone UK, please post your settings on here!

Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
might sound stupid but try removing the leading zero from the last part of the gateway IP so it reads: "212.183.137.12".

I really dont know if it will work but you never know?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ach2:
Try one of these cab files - I'm on UK Vodafone contract and it works fine for me for phone and data - but I don't use MMS so can't vouch for that part. I'm also currently using Black Dymond.

It might be best to delete the wap.vodafone.co.uk setting you installed so as not to confuse the issue.

Oh yes, maybe a silly question, but have you had Vodafone enable MMS on your account? This isn't always automatic.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] welby1:
Hi ach2, thank you for the info, I do have MMS enabled.

I eventually cracked it.

Heres How:

1. Deleted all my connections and remove any proxy settings! (FRESH CLEAN START)

2. Downloaded the UK_Vodafone Cab (via ach2's attachments) or follow the link!: (Thanks for the cabs ach2! Much Appreciated)

6. JOB DONE

NOTE IF YOU GET THE MESSAGE ERROR AT THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN SAYING "Error Synchronising" It just means you have no messages to send or no messages to receive! To check this just create a MMS and send it. The message will not appear if all is well. I suppose you could regedit this to say something else!!! hmmmmm got me thinking....lol

I hope this helps someone else as this has driven me mad for 2 days and 3 calls to vodafone!

ps The MMS Composer by Arcsoft (v 3.51.23.C) is not very good. It doesn't even link into your contacts you have to manually put in telephone numbers, or u can cut and paste them from you contacts. Im not sure if this is because I'm using Black Dymond 3.5, but surely there are better MMS Composers that could be cooked into the roms????

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky|ined:
Hello guys. I have unbricked the D800 using "very partition method" and it worked, I have download mode again. Stupidly enough after I fixed it I applied "very partition method" again because I was trying to get my PC to recognize the proper drivers. After that the screen went dark but the phone is working properly, I have flashed a rom successfully, although I couldn't see anything on the screen I knew I was in download mode because the correct drivers where diplayed on windows device manager. During boot I see the LG logo for half a second and when I press power button I also see the screen for half a second (asks to insert sim card) but then it goes dark again. It boots up normally, double knock working, touchscreen working, makes sounds, charging etc. I don't know if this is a hardware problem, maybe a short circuit caused some damage on the motherboard? or if it is a software problem. But apart from that the device seems to be working fine. Any help appreciated

I just input the given unlock code they gave me and it worked on the 1st time. I do not live in the US, however my local carrier here pretty much uses the same bands as at&t. I've read that users have issue with trying to get it to work on T-Mobile network after updating it to lollipop. Might want to double check your APN settings or maybe there's a bad coverage in your area?

I am in awesome T-Mobile coverage area. Do you know where I can find a fix for that?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
I cannot confirm a fix for that because i do not stay in the United States. Try downloading an app called secret phone info in the playstore. You will be able to switch the network from the default gsm/LTE to wdcma preferred. I found this that I'm able to get better cell reception. Maybe try calling T-Mobile or keep searching in google. If I'm not mistaken theres a slight hardware difference between the T-Mobile (pure edition) and AT&T variant regarding the bands it supports.

If you have an ATT XT1097, you can request an unlock code from ATT here:

If you are not an ATT customer, you select non-ATT Mobility customer when requesting your unlock code.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGman125:
