[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashBX:
I'll probably go with the nandroid backup method because I really need something failsafe - this is still a new phone and I don't want a three month old paperweight. Regarding wiping data and cache, yes that is good but someone could still easly modify the system apk's before backing up. I'm not saying that method isn't valid, I just try to avoid it for security reasons. Also thanks for digging up that code list, it doesn't help me but it might help someone else.

And you, [MENTION=5446406]chikkus5088[/MENTION], you can't downgrade by RUU unless you're S-OFF so just get a TWRP/CWM kitkat backup like said above for your model and you're good to go.

If you can find the rxact OTA or firmware for your device, I can guide you on how to fix your wifi problem in lollipop. otherwise, listen to CrashBandicootX and find a suitable Nandroid backup (CWM/TWRP)
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikkus5088:
If i download the lollipop version from the HTCdev.com will that able to sort the issue of WiFi...?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seekfind:
I don't think such download is available from htcDEV. an RUU fixes your problem IF you find one. but the easier way would be to find the Lollipop OTA for your device; I'll tell you what to do with it
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikkus5088:
I cant find OTA update file for Lollipop...

Instead i got a nandroid backup of my variant with no. 1.50.720.3_ASIA A5DWG TWRP Backup from HERE

Will this help..?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seekfind:
yes, and probably wifi will work on Kitkat.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikkus5088:
Currently i m on Soul Rom running...

Can i directly restore the Nandoid backup of kikkat or should i do a wipe before doing this...

Plz give more details...
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seekfind:
I'd always do the wipe. Ofcourse, make a Nandroid backup beforehand, just in case.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashBX:
Bad news for all, HTCDev doesn't distribute RUU's after all. Why does no company do this? Anyways - thank you [MENTION=6167647]seekfind[/MENTION] for taking the time to help us all. I'm about to flash the nandroid backup I've found on the net but before I do that, is there a way to backup my applications and data from the Lollipop version? I know Lollipop always runs ART so all of my apps that get backed up are already precompiled making them unusable with Dalvik VM - can I switch the stock HTC's Kitkat rom to ART or did they disable that?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikkus5088:
I successfully went back to Kitkat version from the Nandroid backup.... :good: Thankz for ur guide and Help.. :good:

But the thing is that i was not able to install update through OTA after i downloaded the update... (Update zip file saved to PC)

When i click install now it takes me to TWRP Recovery, and when i browse and select the OTA zip file it shows Error...

What to do to successfully update the latest version and btw my WiFi is working again... :good:

Hello

Wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

I'm on the Stock Verizon 5.0.1 rom. I encrypted my SD card. I chose to not encrypt media files.

Afterwards, the phone began overheating frequently, I couldn't figure out what App was causing it. Then I remembered that I just encrypted the SD card. So I deactivated the encryption and now the phone is fine.

Anyone else have the same experience?

I use a Sandisk Ultra 128gb card.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdrickMG:
Sch-I545 model support until 64GB of memory card as far as I know, if you have 128 GB, that could be the reason...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] deaves7:
I'm not encrypted running same ver. 5.0 with 32g sd and getting the overheating from SD . If I remove it, no overheating. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] secretsubscriber:
The 128gb card works fine. But maybe a different card will work better. I assume that the overheating is associated with the encryption overhead, but I don't know.

I'm not having the issue without the encryption. deaves7, maybe you have a bad SD card? Have you tried another?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zombolt:
Yes I have had the same thing happen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] secretsubscriber:
Update.

I backed up all my SD Card data, reformatted the card from within the Galaxy S4, and then enabled encryption.

So far no overheating, but the amount of data on the card is a lot less because I haven't copied all my files back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tisdall:
Well, I was trying to update my daughter's tablet and managed to simply wipe it out instead. The RK FactoryTool seems to do a chipset check to make sure you don't put the wrong image on a device, but it does it _AFTER_ it first formats the device. I can't post links, but you can find the firmware by searching for "STOCK FIRMWARE FOR BENEVE I7 RK3028 CHILDREN TABLET PC" and going to the post at geekbuying.

There's no instructions with that file on how to install the drivers so I used the RK Driver Assistant v4.1 instead. There's also two copies of the "FactoryTool" but only the "preloaded" one actually seems to load properly. When I try to flash the included .img file, I simply says "Check Chip Fail" and doesn't do any more.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tisdall:
Alright, it seems that the model I have actually has an RK3028 chipset and not an RK3028A (note the "A").

So, the question now is, is it possible to modify the firmware to suit my needs? I found another "loader" than passes the chipset check but it's a different version. I tried simply replacing it, but that didn't work. I noticed the kernel (or maybe boot.img) actually contained a string matching the loader file name so I tried using the new loader with the old file name but also no luck. Is the boot/kernel linked with the specific loader? Do I also need to find a matching boot.img to go with the loader to make this work?

Maybe You are Missing That Responsive Aosp Browser in Nokia X2DS. So Here is a simple way. The phone must be rooted. Here are steps:-

1. Download The attachment Aosp+Chromesync4.3.zip View attachment 3397416 There is 2 files inside.

2. You can use root explorer or any other. Copy this files To browser.apk in system/app folder(or custom/syspreload), change permissions to rw-r-r . Do same with ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk.

3. Now Rename BrowserProvider.apk to BrowserProvider.apk.bak and BrowserProvider.odex to BrowserProvider.odex.bak (You will get only BrowserProvider.apk deodexed rom)

4.Restart

NB: there may be some problem for chrome sync. For me its working with Flashed gapps. Plz let me know.

enjoy :cowboy:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BLACKDETH32:
Hey guys,

I had purchased this phone awhile back in 2012 and The model is: XT912. I had rooted it and installed a Custom Rom (Black Widow). The reason why I stopped using it was because I had a cracked screen so I upgraded to a different phone but having alot of issues with my new phone. So I decided to replace my screen for my Droid Razr, but its been awhile since i've used it and been experiencing issues of my phone not booting up and looked online for multiple solutions but no luck.

Issues are:

- Phone needs a USB Wall Charger to be able to be turned on, battery is charged fully but when I unplug my USB Charger, my phone turns off. When I try to attempt to do a fastboot session, I connect my Stock Motorola USB Cable to my PC and on my phone, it shows a white light. But when plugged in to a wall charger, my phone boots up but doesn't boot anywhere besides the motorola logo.

- My phone boots up, shows the motorola logo and goes straight to battery charge and it shows 0% then 5% then 100% sits there for about 3 minutes and then reboots.

- When trying to go into recovery, it stays on the motorola and i've left it there for 24 hours abd no luck.

I've tried multiple things, but its been very aggravating since I've been trying to look up solutions for the past week but still had no luck.

Please help =(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
The white light means that your battery is empty,try this:

Booting from AP fastboot to charging mode

If the Device will only boot to AP Fastboot and it says Battery Low

Connect the phone/Device ato a Wall Charger (not PC)

-In AP Fastboot Mode hold Volume down& power buttons at the same time for +10 seconds

- When screen goes black...release power button

-Then IMMEDIATELY press and hold Vol - and Vol+ to boot to Boot Menu.

- In Boot Menu scroll down with volume down to BP Tools, press volume up to select

- Device should boot to Charging Mode with battery icon

- Once battery is charged, try flashing in AP Fastboot again

This will only work if battery charging Firmware is still present and not corrupted

If Motorola Device will not boot to Charging Mode, a Fastboot cable will be needed.

You can buy it or you can make one by yourself,look at the picture.

If you can boot to AP Fastboot mode use this utility to flash stock rom,here http://xdaforums.com/droid-razr/development/droid-razr-utility-xt913-jellybean-t2861798

If nothing works maybe your battery needs replacement...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BLACKDETH32:
I've tried the troubleshooting steps mentioned above but no luck.

What I remember is that, back in the day when I installed the ROM, I wiped everything, incl. the Recovery partition and I believe android version it was on was ICS. When I installed Black Widow, everytime i would reboot it, i had to turn it on a certain way, sort of like safe mode. I've tried it though but no luck

Also, everytime I do plug in a charger, It does show a charge of 100% but once I unplug the USB, it turns off and the only way to turn it back on is plugging the USB back in.

I've also created the cable you've mentioned, but it still shows a white light when plugged into a PC. I've already replaced the battery and the battery is brand new. Just replaced it yesterday.

Any other suggestions? Is there a way to fastboot it so i can install a stock rom with the OTA?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
You can't charge the phone with the fastboot cable,it is for flashing the stock rom with RSD Lite when your battery is low.

I actually got it to boot up, but turns right back off. How do you boot it up into safe mode when the phone is off?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BLACKDETH32:
Ok, So I was able to get to the Boot Logo usuing HW Diag. and Boot AP and my screen would show safe mode activated, then it would boot up a logo and I believe its cyanogen mod. It has a Blue Droid with a ring circling around it, but then it restarts. Maybe if i'm able to boot it into safe mode from the beginning, i could start it up.

How do I boot it into safe mode when the phone is off?

Hi there! I rooted my LS990 on lollipop 5.0.1 a recently and I tried to use TWRP to get a ROM on it and when I tried to install TWRP it came back with the error right after the LG logo on reboot when I tried to boot to recovery. I looked through a few threads but they all led to other LG models and not the LS990 from what I saw. I'm not able to boot to recovery, update my phone or factory reset. My endgame would be able to factory reset my phone and not worry about rooting it because it's just caused problems for me.

If there's any help I can get it would be much appreciated! :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:
What method did you use to install TWRP? Try either TWRP Manager or Flashify from the Play Store, or push the recovery *img via adb shell or a terminal emulator app. You can find the latest *img file for the LS990 here...

https://twrp.me/devices/lgg3sprint.html

Follow the "dd Install Method (Requires Root):" directions at the bottom of the page. And make sure to never take an OTA update or perform a factory reset w/ a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP installed.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:
Try using the Flashify app instead. Make sure the external SD has indeed been patched by running the "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" app (available from the Play Store) beforehand. The app also works w/ Lollipop, and can be uninstalled after the verification or installation of the fix.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acealex360:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:

... then open Flashify, select Recovery Image -> Choose a file -> Downloads, and select the TWRP recovery image you downloaded.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] SchnookoLoly:
Looking for some help with the official Nexus Wireless Charger, which my husband uses (used) with his Nexus 5.

My husband was moving his bedside table and forgot to unplug the wireless charger from the wall first. He ended up bending the pins and they can't be fixed. The USB cord and the actual QI Portion of the charger itself are fine, they work when they're plugged into my wireless charger, it's just the wall outlet that needs to be replaced.

We've tried plugging it into the myriad of other wall adapters we have that have come with other devices, but they all result in that little red light coming on which indicates inadequate power.

I've just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Google. They used to sell just the charger accessory but it's no longer available for purchase and they don't have any more in stock, and the charger was purchased JUST over a year ago so the limited warranty is shot on it.

I'm assuming we are probably screwed and will have to just suck up the cost of buying another, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any wall outlet adapters that would work as a replacement.

Thanks in advance.

I would use the one in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/hands-best-fastest-cheapest-nexus-5-t2729066

I used it with mine and it worked fine. The main thing on the Nexus Charger is it wants 2A of current. I'd say about 80% of those you'll run across will usually output 700mA-1A far less than needed. That one above will be good and if the same accident happens again they're not that expensive to replace.

Absolutely nothing worked. What gives ?

Can somebody make some suggestion or offer some insights on what could be wrong ? I followed every indication, every step to the letter on each method.

Try to format your data partition with Ext4 and flash PA again. It should work without getting stucked. However, you probably will not be able to encrypt your data partition using the built in PA encryption this way. :(
