Bootloop or stuck at htc splash screen?

Flashing a ruu should fix any software and firmware issue so it might ba an hardware problem.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JM25:
When I turn off my device and turn it on, the HTC splash screens comes up for a second and then the device turns to black screen.

When I enter bootloader and select reboot phone, the HTC splash comes up for approx 20 seconds and then rebbots (perm. bootloop) :(

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JM25:
After some investigations, why the rom update fails, i saw that the rom udate utility writes a logfile to disc. At the end of the log file i find the following lines:

<DEBUG>
<OUT>INFORead zipped android_info fail</OUT>
</DEBUG>
<DEBUG>
<OUT>FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))</OUT>
</DEBUG>

The same error message (too many links) i also receive when i execute the command "fastboot oem lock" (see post #9).

Does anyone know this error?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Check your HTC drivers. Are you using an old driver? It usually only normal to see this with hboot 1.44. Most other times I've seen it with older hboots it's been driver related.

Update your htc drivers and flash the ruu again :fingers-crossed:

What OS are you using on your pc? Also make sure when you open your command prompt it has Administrator Rights.

I am a huge fan of the inverted themes especially on the Super AMOLED Screens because they have the best blacks. I've been trying to look for an inverted (black theme) Google Play Music App but I can't seem to find it anywhere or figure out how to do it. I have Alliance Control and I tried playing with that to modify the Google Music app but it doesn't work.. Does anyone have any advice? All my music is in the cloud so I can't use another app.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vex1989:
Does anyone have any idea? I am still tirelessly trying to find a solution. One of the main reasons I need this is that i dock my phone on my car and I play music. It is much easier on the eyes and therefore more safe with a black theme version!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberized39:
I went to use my N4 this AM and it appeared my phone was "updating" itself BUT after ANDROID came up....on next screen it tells me it is "Powering OFF" - which it does and then I cannot get it to start up normally. After a wait and then holding in the ON Button, it would go thru the re-boot again and then same "Powering OFF". I may have "screwed da Moose!" because taking a guess, I thought maybe take out the SIM Card and then put back in.....but now I cannot even get it to reboot.....just stays DARK as I continue to use Start Button.

PLEASE help if possible...............sure hope/pray this N4 is not DEAD!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texterted:
I know you had to still sideload it but at least you could get it in recents when purchased from their appstore.

Just looked and it's completely gone from the UK site?

There was I hoping for a proper release.....
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Amazon removed it from the appstore entirely.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
I still have it in my recents as I had added it prior to it getting removed. In this case you can create the sacrificial app to get it on your home screen. If you are rooted, you can change the sacrificial app's logo to kodi.

I'm not sure if you can go back to the purchased apps and re install even though amazon has removed it.

Hello everyone ... I bought a Moto E XT1524 in Spain. The phone works on 3G bands 900 and 2100. In Argentina, the country where I live now, the 3G bands are 850/1900. Because of this my phone only works in 2G. Looking I found this post http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/unlock-hspa-bands-moto-g-1700mhz-xt1032-t2878441 that explaining how to unlock bands. The question is whether you know if the phone will have this possibility. I mean, if the chipset supports these bands and doing the procedure will fix my problem. Or definitely is a limitation of hardware.

Thanks!!!
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discord:
I assume that the hardware is the same between phones, and that the radio bands are set by firmware. If I'm right about this, you would need to flash firmware on your phone that supported the bands that you want. However I am only guessing about this.

So i managed to crack the glass on my Z2 and now the touch is not working anymore.

I have a warranty that coveres damages like this, but i doubt it covers the rooting and stuff.

I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted and all that stuff, but i need to relock it and take it back to stock.

Unfortunatly USB debugging is not enabled.

How would i go about doing this?

I just had the same problem a few days ago.

I used recovery and flashtool to restore everything.

First I flashed existenz to have a recovery which is not in the kernel (maybe you already have it). I used cwm since it supports volume buttons.

Then I flashed the stock kernel via flashtool (just the kernel) and relocked the bootloader (with flashtool too).

Then I rebooted to recovery and restored the TA partition (adb is enabled in recovery)

Lastly, I flashed the whole firmware via flashtool to be purely stock !
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
I there is a lot of information about all the cool things we can do with our knew watches, but I thought I would link to a solution to a problem which has vexed me since purchasing my watch.

Android installs all wear capable apps to your watch without your control.

Well, now you have control.

Take a look at this doc.

Take a look at this doc.

Now, the document is a bit old, as you do not even need your phone, but it will give you the commands you need. You can plug your watch directly into your computer and manage your apps through adb (and possibly total commander, but I am not certain about that one). I tested this to remove apps I want on my phone but not my watch (Goodbye Lowe's and Amazon). You do not even need root to do this with regular apps, and as the author points out, using this method you can even sideload full Android Apps.

To interact with the device specifically, you change the code a little. For instance, instead of removing an app by...

adb -e shell pm uninstall -k com.glTron

You use

adb shell pm uninstall com.glTron

Be warned, if you uninstall a system app, or a dependency, things will be bad. However, if you stick to apps you know are user apps, this is relatively safe (the big system apps do need root permission to disable or uninstall).

Credit goes to Copyright:*corbin - Hacking Android Wear*and*EpicLPer. Great work!

I found the thread over in the wear development forum. There, they are compiling a list of full Android apps which work on wear.

Find that here.

Good luck.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] DarkRazorZ:
Just got the watch and I've been playing with it the past few days. Did actually ruin some things trying to sideload system all's but restored it all just fine. Setting the DPI to 200 works really well with a lot of regular Android apps (adb shell wm density 200) without any negative effects to the UI or stock Android Wear apps (in fact they don't seem to be affected by the DPI change at all). Stock DPI is 280.

A lot of apps that don't depend on needing a status bar work really well. There's a thread on here on how to sideload and set the stock Google Keyboard as your default keyboard (which works really really well, honestly no issues typing with it). Can use things like terminal, Chrome and ES File Explorer from the watch itself with no issues at all. I'm going to try more apps later and possibly play with the DPI some more.

Apparently there's a way to get xposed working too, haven't tried it yet though. There's also a wayr to apprently get basic gapps and the Play Store working but I can't figure it out. Also can't figure out how to install apks directly from the watch itself. ES File Explorer and terminal aren't letting me install apps. WiFi works fine in all apps if you put the watch in Airplane mode or if you disconnect your phone from the watch. Hopefully we get data and networking over Bluetooth at some point, it'd be awesome.

Anybody try any emulators? I'm interested in trying something like epsxe to maybe play RPGs or something simple that doesn't require too many buttons to play.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] flatherskevin:
How did you sideload and retain wifi? I know that I need to put it in /system/priv-app/ but I have no idea how to push an apk there, and I have no idea where the apk is installed to for me to be able to find and then push over
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Unless you are rooted, you do not have permission to write to /system. If you are trying to put regular apps in /system/priv-app/ then I would recommend against rooting. An exception may be (and DarkRazorZ) can confirm, but the keyboard may need to be in system.

Anyway, you cannot merely drop an app in the right place (usually/data/app/) you have to install it. To do so, use this code.

Adb shell pm install ***.apk

To install the play store, you do need root access and to put it in system/priv-app, but that is one of many hoops. I suggest you check that thread if that is what you intend to do.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] DarkRazorZ:
I'm not sure how the whole networking with priv-app works, I tried playing around with it but didn't get very far. For Chrome, if I want to use it over WiFi, I have to put the watch in to Airplane mode and reconnect to WiFi. It's pretty quick and easy to do and forced WiFi on for every app. I don't know of any other way.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Thanks for the hint on DPI - your are right, it helps side loaded apps, but i noticed that it also makes better use of the google now cards. The text is slightly smaller, and you can get more info (like a text) visible at one time, but still not to small. Regardless of sideloading, i am really enjoying the change to 200DPi (though, it really helps for apps like alpine quest and such which now show the whole thing)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cerem:
I have an hp touchpad currently with Cyanogenmod, can't recall which version and it won't tell me right now, but honestly it did this no matter which android version I put on it, from Cyanogenmod to Evervolv.

Basically, I charge it overnight. Some mornings when I wake up, it won't boot. Moboot shows up, I select android, it gives me the splash image, then reboots and moboot comes back up. If I select Clockworkmod, same thing. I can enter recovery mode, however, but I don't wanna wipe my tablet since the last two times I did...did not fix this issue.

If I leave it alone for a few hours (anywhere from 4 to 10), it will suddenly start working again. This is making me think it's a hardware issue instead of software, but I don't know enough about these things to be 100% certain. Anyone else ever run across an intermittent bootloop like this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Adam_nox:
I have rooted 4.6.1 with nova launcher. I have tried both amazon store messenger and play store version. When I say no notifications I mean nome. Not eve if I had the app open and switched to my home screen but kept phone on. I have xposed but disabled most modules.

I really need this to work. I have checked app settings, manage notifications, and notification listemers and I don't know what else to try. I can't reset the phone. It took me a dozen hours just to ge.t everything setup.

Edit. I am not sure if any notifications are working right now. Got a text and only after profreminder app sent a reminder beep did I even know.

Edit 2. Outlook works. Attempting to try others.

Ideas welcome.
[Amazon Fire Phone] adamx:
Hey sorry to do this, but wanted some new visibility from people who may have read the OP. If your notifications are working, could you let me know which if any apps you have disabled, if you are rooted, that sort of thing?
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
I was bothered by that issue and never got it working. Curiously though, the notification works only when you happen to be in the Settings section of the Facebook Messenger app.

I've changed FireOS for CM11. I don't regret it. Every push notification works as it should.
[Android Apps and Games] displaytester:
Hi

I am new this forum and hope this is the right place for my request - thank you for advises.

I want to test smartphone (Samsung S4/S5/S6 & Motorola latest models) displays using a phone as tester. The displays (matching the phone type) will be connected by an extension flex, connector.

Many displays will be tested with 1 phone. Here is an example of testing S6 display.

1. Connect S6 display no1

2. Turn on S6 ; the actual smartphone acts as a tester - capable of testing many displays ; turn ON must be within few seconds (max 3 - unlike the standard boot up process)

3. User runs application - testing display (running several standard color patterns), touch sensor test - by drawing a rectangle around the perimeter of the display, nav key test

4. Pass/Fail - user evaluates - with an option of repeating the test if necessary

5. Turn OFF S6 - this should be within 1-2 seconds

6. Disconnect S6 display no1

7. Connect S6 display no2

There are already existing quite a few apps with testing the display however none of them offering SAFELY display removal. Its only possible (I think) when the device is completely OFF, but then it

has to be turned ON and with a standard BOOT up just this process could take a minute. The phone does not have to be turned off if there is an application which allows to SAFELY disconnect

not killing the circuitry on the actual main board and neither on the display! Otherwise I beleive it would need a modified root/operation system which only loads a min processes needed for the test.

The actual TEST phone can be reflashed, does not require any additional mobile functionalities (like the main radio transceiwer,amplifier, WIFI, camera, sensors, etc) just the test app which only controls the DISPLAY.

Please let me know what would take ($$$ & time) to make such application?

Thank you

im new to xperia Z2

and i want to understand some concepts i been reading around

Rom

Boot

Recovery

STOCK FIRMWARES

its all for rooting phone but i want to understand what are they about and what they are doing

thanks in advance
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skanin:
A custom ROM is basically a different operating system for your smartphone / tablet. I's still Android, but the developer has included his own options/themes/settings. In short: A modified firmware. ROMs for the Z2 can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/#romList

Boot is when you boot you device I think :P You might be thinking of a bootloader. The bootloader loads the actual Android operating system. You can "unlock" your bootloader, witch let's you run modified firmware (witch is not based on stock firmware) on your device.

Recovery can be started before the actual boot process of the Android operating system by pressing a certain key combination. It contains reset options for the smartphone and also the option to clear the cache, provide a backup, restore, among a bunch of other useful features. With a custom recovery, you can also create or install new version of custom ROMs, by flashing zip files.

Stock Firmwares is a unmodified firmware, like the one your device was sold with. You should always have a stock firmware(can also be called a stock ROM) for your device on your computer, in case you get in a bootloop(where your phone boots and then shuts down again, and then turns on and so on). You can then flash the stock firmware and maybe resolve the problem. Stock firmwares can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2759934

i can have custom recovery to be able to install custom Rom but from the phone it self

either way i must have unlocked boot-loader to be able to install the custom Rom by flashing the phone or by using custom recovery

am i getting this right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skanin:
You can flash a custom rom with locked bootloader, but then the rom has to be based on stock firmware. Roms like Cyanogenmod, witch is not based on a stock firmware, requires unlocked bootloader.

You can see it says "based on stock" that means you can flash it with locked bootloader :)
