[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSVanderbilt:
I've just picked up the boost mobile moto G. When I go to flash Blisspop or PA, TWRP tells me there is an error updating the binaries. Right now it's running on 4.4.2. When I attempt to accept the 4.4.4 OTA update it tells me installation was unsuccessful. I've tried updating manually as well but I have had no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am assuming I need to update to 4.4.4 to even get to 5.x at this point. I have tried just about everything I can think of.

What am I doing wrong / what prereqs do I need to take care of first. (Rooted, TWRP, Bootloader Unlocked other than that it's stock)

Hi,

I bought a s6 edge in Switzerland und it came network locked. If I install a custom rom will it unlock the network automatically or do I need to install any 3rd party app?

It would be appreciated if you guys could point me out the best roms for my device.

Thanks

[06 July] XdaBugs - A Formal Introduction

Does your ROM play up?

Annoyed that those lazy developers are doing nothing?

Your complaints getting lost in all the n00b questions?

Well look no further - XdaBugs is your answer!!

What is XdaBugs?

XdaBugs is a Bug Tracking system that is designed for the multiple devices, roms and problems that mobile devices suffer. Using our unpatented technology, you can place a bug report using a structured form that allows developers to quickly decipher the problems and users to add comments and additional info

But, doesn't that replace these forums?

No.

XdaBugs is designed to compliment the Xda-Developers forums. XdaBugs is made with being clear and concise in mind, hence all comments\bugs are moderated and anything posted to the site needs to stay on topic.

So, how do I get started?

First goto: http://xdabugs.vidmes.com

Then, have a look around the site - you can even see bugs and comments without logging in!

A good place to start is the Help\FAQ page. Alternatively, clicking on every link in the sidebar also works...

Once your used to the layout and the site, goto the Register page and sign up

Now start spreading the bugs!! (That sounds like a good slogan... then again...)

Side Note: I'm a Developer, and my ROM is currently on the site, what should I do?

Sign up to the site then PM me on Xda-Developers requesting developer privileges

From there, remember to check on all of your bugs for your ROM, and edit the rom and bugs as you see neccesary

Side Note: I want to help out by being an Admin!

Great! Now go away!

But seriously, if you really want to help, then PM me requesting admin privileges and argue your case. If its decent, I'll grant you privileges.

[?? June] Original Post

The new Xda Bugtracker I have been working on has now been finalised (or at least in a Beta) - so its ready for use!

Just goto http://xdabugs.vidmes.com and check it out

NOTE:

It is still a little buggy, but I'm working on that

It IS NOT a forum - so bugs\comments will be heavily moderated

If you need developer\admin privleges, then PM me

Also PM or email me any bugs that you find

Enjoy!

(Also, all data from the Alpha version's database has been wiped - so you may need to re-register...)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:
A Note to Developers:

You do actually need to edit your bugs and add\remove comments - thats the whole point of a bug tracking system, however I'm still seeing a lot of "unverified" bugs...

New Version! (0.02.7b)

Includes

Minor bug fixes

Bugs now show the date of their latest comment

Date of latest comment is highlighted if it is new (compared to your lst logout)

A reminder for Developers

Please ensure that only your latest version is on the Xda Bugs site

Deprecate old versions (you can do this by editing them)

The site is supposed to be heavily moderated, so remove\edit comments as needed

Remember to update the status of bug (you can do this by editing them)

PM me if you need Developer permissions!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] bheam:
I like the idea of a bug tracker, but i believe i can say why it's not so much used.

1) UI is not intuitive. Bugs must be listed in table format with Title, Rom version, severity, reproducability etc etc in one list, searchable between roms and more.

2) The first thing you're faced with when you go to the site is a login prompt. First page must be the bug list, and you're not asked for login until you want to submit a new bug.

Not trying to all-knowing or anything, just giving constructive suggestions, i can even help out if nobody are up to it.

"Twist your body, Twist your Voix Blu“

The name of UMI's new headphone is Voix Blu. Not sure if the name has any relation with Bluetooth. From the pictures, we can see Voix Blu is beautiful designed, but that it also can be crazy twisted, they say twist your body and twist your Voix Blu.

That the next generation headphones might be packed with CSR8670 chip, HiFi 40 and noise-cancelation. That is perfect for headphones party. However, nothing has been confirmed yet. we will wait for the next source to tell us more.
[General Accessories] s7yler:
Voix Blu comes with breathing navigation keys.

The Voix Blu comes with breathing navigation keys, which pulse up to 22 times a minute. Play songs, take calls, adjust the volume, etc. With one click you can (gently press on one ear) complete all your operations. Up to 30,000 times endurance test pressing, Not just stylish and smart, but great quality as well.

Hey,

Time has come to change my z1compact. In few days I'll be changing it for either g4 or s6.

Now, I don't use my phones to watch YT or play games so the differences between cpu are not as important to me. The game changes with camera, I like g4's stock camera settings (shutter speed, iso). I know s6's 5.1 camera, with help of third party app, should provide all the g4's features (with better results?) Could someone provide me with info from ' manual camera ' and 'fv5 camera' apps on shutter speed, iso? With some light trail snaps if possible.

Second thing, is there anything I should pay attention to while getting the s6?(like checking the camera sensor or scratches on the screen)

Thanks for any help

can you please help me with a soft unbricking of my lg g vista (vs880 [11b]) from verizon usa? i found the 880-11b firmware file, at least i think its the right one. if you know of/ come across this and are sure of its validity i would trust that more. i found and downloaded via a google search. i initially think i may have accidentally deleted the splash pic for the carrier when it boots. this caused it to just black screen after the lg logo n the backlight would flash like it was stuck in a boot loop just the image file was missing. after a little more research i figured out how to put it in the download mode so that i can use a pc to try repair or reinstall whatever it needs. i am unsure if i need the sdk or adk toolkits for a repair in the download mode to work. while on that screen it says its plugged in and waiting to download firmware via usb under the progress bar it tells me not to unplug until download is completed. its not showing up in "my computer" however. and i've never had to do s software/firmware download or setup when the phone wasn't in full normal working order. i simply want to put back the out of the box software back in place. firmware 88011b and 4.4.2 os. just want to be sure i get the proper files/and or programs/ directions to use those resources properly the last thing i want is to guess at something that i could ask someone more experienced for help with and end up bricking it beyond repair. any and all help is very appreciated and i must ask you to please explain each step as clearly and "dumbed down" as possible as you can. if i need to use a program i've never used before {i.e. i hear things like odin mentioned in the forums but i don't understand or have any experience with any pc to phone applications so the more detailed any instructions can be made the better. anything that most ppl who have started tinkering with their devices usually know as common sense or steps that seem implied if not specifically mentioned i'll miss. i have been reading n lurking for months n managed to root the device. but had another issue i accidentally caused soon after which resulted in a factory wipe and some time to remember what i did that rooted it after spending a day on it the first time n trying many things it took me a while to refind what i had done that worked. then this happened. i'm sure with the proper files/tools it'll be fine but i need help to know what those are and to be sure i do it right the first time. i know if i don't there may not be a second chance. thank you again in advance for your patience and help.

I'm about due for upgrades on my account and trying to decide which phone to buy for my wife. Deciding between the Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, and LG G3. I prefer the S5 because my wife is more familiar with Samsung phones, but I need to know if it's still rootable or if Verizon has managed to completely lock this thing down.

I apologize for asking a question that's probably answered multiple places, but despite my best searching, I'm unable to determine the newest firmware version available for this phone, nor if there is any root method available for it that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader (presumably impossible with a "new" phone now).

I'd greatly appreciate a quick answer or a nudge in the right direction to look for this information.

My I9505 was recently upgraded OTA to Android 5.0.1 along with Samsung's TouchWiz. Hopefully this won't complicate matters.

Is this the best/recommended procedure? -

Root: What's the best/recommended method to Root my S4?

Backup Stock Recovery: Using Flashify on Google Play.

Install Recovery: Is TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 the best Recovery to use?

The Optimized CM12.1 thread recommends TWRP 2.8.7.0 but the download doesn't contain a batch file to run?

Reboot to TWRP --> Backup my existing ROM image then choose the Wipe option

Install the Optimized CM12.1 ROM then GAPPS from SD Card

Related questions about the Optimized CM12.1 ROM and GAPPS please:

Wouldn't a regular CM12.1 Nightly for the I9505 be better than the Optimized CM12.1 ROM? The Optimized CM12.1 ROM looks to be older (2015-06-16), or am I splitting hairs over a few days? Thanks

Is the TWRP Manager on Google Play the best/recommended way to install TWRP 2.8.7.0? -

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Regarding your steps...

1, 2: Cyanogenmod is pre-rooted, and the stock recovery images are readily available, thus these steps waste time.

3. Yes.

4. Yes. You'll use Odin to flash the recovery, thus no batch file.

5, 6: Yes.

As to your other questions...

1. You need to decide which you want more. Is having a more current build more important than the optimizations? Regardless of the final choice both install in essentially the same fashion.

2. The GApps in the thread is more up-to-date than the official download.

Finally, TWRP Manager stopped working properly some time ago and really isn't necessary. Download the image from the Optimized CM12.1 thread and install it using Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Firstly thanks for the detailed reply.

I remember that from installing CM on my tablet but presumably you still need to Root the S4 to be able to install CM?

A few more questions please:

1. So when you run Odin it will ask for the location of the TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 folder?

2. Is this the best place to get Odin? - http://odindownload.com/

3. That link says I need "ADB & FASTBOOT TOOLS", where do I get these for the S4?

Oh great thanks. I noticed it was a smaller download. Is there much missing from it over the official one?

Thanks again Strephon.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1, 2: No. You only need to flash the recovery through Odin to be able to install Cyanogenmod.

2. I believe the apps that all can be downloaded from the Play Store are missing, which is a good thing.

4: You need to input the location of TWRP on your hard drive. Search on XDA for the most current version of Odin (3.10.6) and ignore that site's comment about ADB & Fastboot Tools. Simply download Samsung's drivers off their website and install them. As an alternative, you can install Kies, but make sure Kies isn't running when you run Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Great. Thanks for the further help. I'm nearly there, just a few more questions please:

Do I need to enable USB Debugging?

Running Odin and it's unclear what to do next? I presume these instructions under "

Odin Install Method (No Root Required)

" are correct? - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys4internationalqualcomm.html

Those instructions say to press the PDA button, there is no PDA button. Do I press the AP button instead?

In Odin options is it safe to leave "F. Reset Time ticked"? It looks like it is.

The TWRP 2.8.7.0 in the Optimized CM12.1 thread only offers a ZIP file and the link here only offers an IMG file: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/. But it looks like Odin needs a TAR file. Any ideas?

I presume this (Micro) GAPPS is as good to install as the GAPPS link in the Optimized CM12.1 thread (it's newer, just want to be sure it's compatible)? - http://opengapps.org/

Finally, is it a good idea/recommended to convert to F2FS?

Googling and it's unclear if I want "F. Reset Time" ticked or I should be converting to "F2FS", so I thought I should be sure first. Great I already have Kies installed.

Thanks again. I'm pretty close to installing CM12.1 now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It won't hurt, but in download mode it shouldn't be needed.

Yes.

The instructions assumed an older version of Odin. Press the AP button.

If Odin fires up with it enabled by default, I'd leave it as is.

Grab the 2.8.7.0 TAR from https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ and install it through Odin. Afterward, you can change over to the F2FS-compatible version using the upgrade instructions given on the twrp.me install page.

It should be compatible, but you may have better luck using the version in the thread.

F2FS is totally optional. I personally don't use it.
