[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROMmin' Noodle:
Help... picked up a G2 last month. Stock, factory reset. Everything was cool.

Did the OTA update to Lollipop.

Now I have No USB options.

No media sync (mtp), no camera option (ptp), whatever else is supposed to show up in the pull down shade that doesn't.

Nothing.

MTP drivers of all flavors fail to install.

There's no way for me to connect to my pc.

No way to tranfser files.

No way to root.

No way to try and flash a rom.

No way to brick my phone :/

Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

... i would like to backup my pictures before i do a hard reset

but can't connect to anything to do it :confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
if nothing else helps

install es file manager and simple copy paste the whole dcim/pictures folder to pc over the wifi network... (just make sure that pc folder is visible on the network - make it shareable)

- i use this all the time for copying files from pc to my phone when i'm too lazy to sit by the computer

or you can use quickpic's integrated wifi transfer option which can transfer pictures to any other device that also has quickpic installed...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
I had same issue after updating to lollipop through the lg software. I have uninstalled all the drivers related to LG and plugged in the phone and it started working.

I have deleted them by going to Device Manager, then from the top menu click on View then select Show hidden devices then expand Portable devices from the list and uninstall your LG phone from there. Try to do that while your phone is connected. Then once you have uninstalled it, reconnect your phone.

Also, have you tried connecting your phone to different PC?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floryn90:
Yes, i tried with various pc and various os such as linux. Nothing. There are not working also the usb otg memory.
[Omni Q&A] tatsuyuki:
Hello,

I'm working on a new device and building OmniROM.

The command I using is:

lunch omni_mx4pro(device)-userdebug && mka

but it only output system.img (and other images) and doesn't make zip for me.

When I execute

make bacon

or

make otapackage

It fails saying 'no rule to make target bacon/otapackage. stop'

I don't have dependencies since the device is a minor device/manufacturer.

My repository:

gitlab.com/i****atsuyuki/android_device_meizu_mx4pro

What's my wrong?
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Try

. build/envsetup.sh && brunch <device>

If that doesn't work - look in detail through your build logs and device trees, likely something is bombing out somewhere.
[Omni Q&A] tatsuyuki:
I got "no rule to make target bacon". What I did was wrong?

Also, change my link when you visit since it contains [S**T] in my name.
[Omni Q&A] tatsuyuki:
Solved. You need recovery.fstab for bacon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] piannetta:
Hi there,

Have had my device since December, but in the last 4-6 weeks I've found 2 problems have presented themselves:

1) calls are randomly dropping out and I'm almost certain it started happening after I started using push email with Exchange ActiveSync over the air - just wondering if I might be onto something or not? No other software has been installed

2) My vibrate function doesn't seem to work. I did see a post on these forums that required opening up the case - has anyone found this relatively easy to do?

Any advice would be helpful please.

Thanks,

Pete
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazarras946:
Hi guys,

I have problem with my friend phone.

He asked me to install Blekota s5 Lite on his phone.

I installed him and phone worked great about 1.5 months, then he got a message that he need to update rom.

When he updated rom he couldn't call anybody, use SMS or Mobile data.

Then he without my knowledge reset phone to " factory reset" through settings.

After that he has full formated mobile phone ( even storage has been formatted ).

Then he called me and said what he did.

I tried do factory reset through CWM, but the problems haven't gone.

Then I flashed phone with odin and stock firmware but nothing has changed.

Then I tried install stock firmware with Kies3/Tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.

Kies flashed firmware successfully but again nothing has changed.

I tried GalaxSimUnlock, but it show that phone is unlocked.

I then tried to backup EFS, but it showed that it can not make backup.

Then I tried *#06# and it showed that IMEI is normal.

I know it's a long post but can anyone help me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkcandygirlx:
My phone seems to be looking for WiFi signal and my WiFi button is off. Battery is draining way to fast..

Any suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pineappleraptor:
You can try Settings>Wi-Fi>More>Advanced

uncheck "always allow scanning" also change "keep wi-fi on during sleep" to "never" or "only when plugged in"

After an hour or two off of the charger, check the battery graph and you should see less wifi and less awake usage as well as less drain.

Also, nowadays auto brightness can be more helpful to save battery whereas it used to drain more. Try it and if it is worse then switch it off. It does depend on your usage.

Hope that helps!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
Hello,

I have an HTC One M8 (ATT) that is misbehaving. It "crashed" into a lengthy black screen of death before spitting me into the bootloader loop. I can access fastboot and various things occur when I try fastboot commands.

My first strategy was to re-do what I did way back when (I don't know what I'm doing so I follow guides):

Theunlockr root-htc-one-m8-all-in-one-toolkit-method (can't post links)

This did not work. I tried to RUU (htc-one-m8-4-16-401-10-stock-lollipop-ruu-0p6bimg can't post links) but I get error messages when following the instructions:

I also tried to just flash TWRP twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img 16.6M:

And tried flashing my RUU I downloaded as well:

In short, I have no idea what to do in order to get this thing back up and running. I am also very sad because likely I will be losing my images I took today at the Smithsonian rare books room (The original/actual De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium from Copernicus that started the scientific revolution, among others)...hopefully one of you wizards can help me save those if at all possible.

Thanks, and may the forum and cell phone gods have mercy on my soul.

***Edit*** I also just tried doing this, which didn't help (I'm seeing a lot of what look to be read/write failures..could this be a storage hardware failure, maybe?):
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
First of all, delete you IMEI and serial numbers. These are private info, and should never be posted online.

4.16.401 is the Euro RUU. You can only run RUUs that match the CID and MID of your device; so this is likely why the RUU failed.

You need to run one of the AT&T RUUs, which are linked on my Index thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Also, you CID is already the right one for AT&T (CWS__001), so no need to change it like you tried to near the end of your post. Note sure, but I believe that trying to change the CID to one that it already is, will normally return an error.

That syntax is incorrect. It should be: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Also, its sometimes helpful to wipe cache before flashing TWRP if you are having issues flashing it: fastboot erase cache

Also, can you confirm your bootloader is still UNLOCKED (which would be my recommendation)?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
The RUU is doing its thing now; sad that I will have lost the photos but hopeful that I will have a working phone again. Will update when something happens/doesn't happen.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I

think

the RUU will wipe user data, but leave internal storage intact. Not sure of that, but if I'm right, your photos may still be there after RUU.

Do you use some method to backup your photos and other data? I ask, since many do not; even though its highly recommended to do so. I know you mentioned the photos were taken recently; so its possible that whatever backup method you use hasn't had an opportunity to do its thing. Although there are many cloud backup solutions that work almost in real-time (or at least will backup once you are on a WiFi network, if you have it setup that way).

Changing the default storage location to the removable SD card (which of course requires having one) is also an option. While this is not a backup method (is still volatile, and a single point of failure) it at least avoids the situation of losing access to the photos if the phone crashes, bricks, etc.

Things to consider, to avoid future data loss and disappointment.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
When I last tried the RUU, the phone gave me an ERROR [171] USB connectivity issue and wouldn't proceed. I was hoping this was due to the replacement part that I had used...which ended up being defective in another department.

That company sent me a new part which I've installed. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the solution: I still get the ERROR 171. I have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync, I still have access to fastboot (I can issue fastboot commands from the cmd prompt), the phone says "unlocked" at the top, but I can't seem to use the RUU I downloaded nor is the phone showing in windows explorer or in HTC Sync.....any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
Also I went ahead and got an SD card and have a card reader. Figure if I'm having USB connectivity issues the SD card may allow me to bypass? How do I do something with the SD card and do I want to try to SD card a recovery (TWRP) or can I do the RUU?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What part did you replace?

Are you running the RUU in fastboot mode (which you should)?

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

You an indeed RUU using the SD Card. Try one of the bootable or zip RUUs listed in my Index thread (under "RUU" section): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Although the USB connectivity issue is often fixable.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
I replaced the small board that has the Aux plug and USB connection on it (and apparently the non-speaker phone microphone on it).

I tried all 3 of the downloadable RUU zip packages from the index; one of them makes decent (what looks to be progress) although most of the updates switch to "Fail-PU" once it attempts to install. I can try to take a photo or something later.

I believe I was running the RUU's in fastboot mode previously. The screen said "Fastboot USB" when it was plugged in. It got to the point where the RUU said "rebooting device". The device rebooted to fastboot again but it took a while and the RUU kept saying "waiting for device" before giving me the USB connectivity error. I still get connection between the PC and the phone though (via fastboot devices in cmd).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Is this a laptop of desktop computer?

Any other USB ports besides the board that you replaced?

I think you might be right, in that the board seems to be faulty and causing the USB connection to be lost.

Try one of the bootable or zip RUUs (SD card method) I referred to earlier.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Agree, sounds correct. "Fastboot USB" highlighted in red is the proper mode (bootloader-fastboot mode) for RUU. If connected to USB cable, this is the default mode if you boot into bootloader.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
I am using a laptop for this process (still installing OS on my desktop). I should clarify that I replaced the USB board with a new one, which had a bad microphone. The original issue occurred with this USB board, as well. The company mailed me a new card to replace the defective replacement. I installed that and saw no change in the behavior of the errors. The board works fine in other respects (can see "Fastboot AC" or "Hboot AC" and "Fastboot USB" with no issues, so seems like connectivity is ok?).

I tried all 3 of the RUUs in your indexed link last night without much luck. I will try again when I get home from work. One froze (the kitcat/lollipop one) during unzipping every one of the 3-4 attempts I made at it (left it on overnight thinking it was just taking a while, too, without success). The other RUU ran but it skipped down most of the list (down to Sensory, or Sources, or something that started with an "s" ) giving Fail-PU on all the previous options. Again, I will re-download all 3 and try them again this evening and report back.

One thing that might be of interest is that I found some sort of recovery.img on the internet. I was able to fastboot boot recovery.img but it seems like everything froze and I lost the ability to type in my cmd prompt (not sure what happened). But at least I could fastboot into a recovery? Sort of? Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

This is a very frustrating problem and I seem to be making little to no headway despite being able to talk with my phone and have certain things "sort-of" work. Is it possible at this point that I may have had some sort of catastrophic memory/storage failure? Is there a way to re-format/re-partition in case I have some sort of weird corrupted file? Is this all too much to fix (see if I can get a new phone?)?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
AFAIK, the RUUs will re-partition the memory, so I'm not sure why its failing.

The only other thing I can think, is to run a firmware.zip first, then try RUU again. I know some folks who have had issues going back to Sense from GPE (which have different partitions schemes) were able to get the RUU to run by flashing the firmware first.

If we get the firmware to flash, we may be in business; since the firmware includes stock recovery, and might fix whatever is going on with the recovery partition.

ATT firmwares can be found on the following thread. The thread is for a custom ROM, but includes the firmware also; and its the firmware alone that we want:

Ok, so we are on the same page....this is the one I am downloading: ATT_4_16_1540_8_M8_Lollipop_Firmware and ROM

http://goo.gl/iumj9r(depreciated)

I'm going to unzip whatever this is, extract firmware.zip and put it in my ADB folder. Then I'm going to fastboot flash zip firmware.zip in cmd prompt and pray to the cellular gods that it's successful?

***Edit*** I tried doing the above and got:

Googling "remote: not allowed" let me to this page: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ll-recovery-from-fastboot-remote-not-allowed/

I tried checking to see if maybe my issue was being locked somehow (I still have my unlock_code.bin file):

I guess I'll try downloading all 3 of those zipped RUUs again from your index page and trying those one at a time. Will post any issues I come across.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yes, that is correct. In theory any of the firmwares in that post should work. Lollipop is the most current firmware. 4.16.1540 is Developer's Edition Lollipop. 4.28.502.1 is the latest AT&T firmware. Both have AT&T compatible radios. 4.28 is the "official" AT&T Lollipop firmware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
Downloaded and unzipped the 4.28 firmware. Placed just the firmware.zip file into my ADB folder. Tried: "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and got:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Try to flash TWRP version 2.8.1.0 or lower (newer versions won't work with your hboot), per the post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61886567&postcount=1920

If successful, try to format data in the Wipe section of TWRP. This is the fix I've seen for corrupt data partition.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
Tried flashing the recovery, same thing happened:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The bootloader is unlocked, correct? It reads UNLOCKED at the top of the bootloader screen?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Grahamelot:
Yes. For a self-proclaimed unlocked phone it seems to be quite puritan in the zips it wants to entertain accepting.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
All I can think if is try an even older TWRP version (2.7) as this corresponds more close to your hboot (original hboot from the phones release in May 2014). Although I think the big TWRP change has more to do with the move to Lollipop; and I somewhat expect even TWRP 2.7 to fail.

Running out of ideas. We've tried RUUs, firmwares, and TWRP. I have a feeling you may be right that we have a corrupt storage, fried emmc, or something of the sort.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Cnewt15:
Hello all,

About two months ago, I bought a Google Nexus 6. I found a file for gearfit manager on this site, that I downloaded, and it worked fine. I don't remember which one it was, but today all of a sudden, I get "Gear fit manager quit responding." I have downloaded multiple files, but the only one I have found that will load up is gearfitmanager_no_crash.apk. It loads up fine, and see the gearfit, it will try to connect and give me a passkey, But then it just stops. It tells me it is paired, but wont connect. The watch is updated to the latest firmware, as I have an old Note 2, that it will connect to. The Nexus 6 is running Android lollipop 5.1.1. Can someone point me towards the right direction here?

Thanks a lot.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Oob1e:
Hello XDA,

Ive looked somewhat specifically for this and havent found any clean cut answers to my questions - so first and foremost, if its a RTFM jobby, please do tell me and I'll go back to the search page and carry on reading. With that said, I was hoping someone might be able to assist me with the following:

[Current Build/SW version = P7-L00V100r001C17B117SP01 - EUI2.3 - I kept this version as I read that it became harder to root after that or on the latest build so thought not to make my life harder with what is completely new to me.]

1) I have a P7 L00 model and plan on using this in the UK - Ive checked the will my phone work website and o2 and EE will both work (contrary to what Ive read on both the huawei site and another one (which I cant remember) stating that the only Baseband that will work with the L00 model is EE) so wanted to ask if anyone can confirm o2 usage?

2) Can I use an L10 stock Rom to get rid of all the chinese default apps on this? I did get to a Chinese website with lots of EMUI roms but wasnt sure what to go with.

3) Is there a vanilla 5.1 or CyanogenMod ROM available? I have indeed just read the post on ubergizmo about 5.1 coming to the P7 but there wasnt a set date for it, and I'd assume that L00 model might be a different date altogether.

4) When Rooting and unlocking the bootloader via a thread I found on here (made by SeverusSnape and a few others ), I get to the part where I can use ROM Manager, but when I go into it and get auto prompted for Recovery set, it asks me to setup a custom recovery, and neither of the options I select give me anything - I select ClockworkMod REcovery and my device isnt listed, I hit the Device not listed selection and it tells me that there isnt an officially supported CWMR yet, have you installed a CWM based recovery manually? Yes takes me to a selection of CWM 2.xx or 3.xx and no tells me Until CWMR us available, ROM manager will not work with p7-L00.

Im unsure what Im doing wrong or what Ive missed?

5) Lastly, what I think I do get is if I've rooted using RootGenius, pulled over the play store APK, installed what I need to/want to use, I can use this as if it wasn't the L00 model?

Are there any future consequences (banking apps I know probably wont work with a rooted device) that would stop me from using the phone as a UK phone, and not possibly routing me through some central Chinese DB? (I ask this as im using WiFi on it now, and its pulling the latest version for it from somewhere, so would like to know where)

Again, apologies if this is all somewhere, but I do find that reading one thread links you to another, and then to another and another. Rinse repeat and its just got me a bit confused - its like Youtube videos except with lots of reading...

Many thanks for your time.

Questions

I have similar questions

I don't believe there is a 5.1 CM available.

Would be great if we could flash L10 rom, but not sure if this will lose bands / functionality
[Huawei Ascend P7] l3Nni:
Hey, I could not help you at all questions.. But anyway..

2.) No you can't. They're not compatible, so you risk to hard brick your device.

3.) There is no vanilla/ aosp/ cm Rom available, and probaly won't be also in future unfortunately. But for your L00 there is a miui v6 Rom available (just look in xda or Chinese forums). These days the official lollipop beta test is running, at the end of this month we might expect the final rom for all P7 devices (if all works as it is supposed to do..).

4.) It may be the best to look for a custom recovery in the "Android development" section and flash it per adb. Take a look to the right emui version, otherwise the recovery system won't work.

5.) I'd recommend to root your device, to delete all stuff you do not need and to flash Google Apps through your custom recovery afterwards. If you only install the apps you need in classical way, I assume you do not get all services running.

I hope I could help you a bit, even if some other people could do way better. I would recommend to ask specific question in smaller local forums.. Often they could help you more. ;)
