[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TidusWulf:
My phone broke (HTC M8) so I'm using my wife's old phone (T-mo GS4). She had a fair amount of stuff on it, and as soon as I got my hands on it, I rooted it, factory reset it, and flashed a new ROM (from 4.4 to 5.1). Now I only have 6GB of free space on my storage. It says the total is 9GB, and I already know that the other 5 are devoted to non-accessible storage that make up the phone's operating system, but 5GB on an empty 16GB phone is just not right. I know for sure that I didn't wipe internal storage because I never click that option when I flash (otherwise my recovery zips would have to have been transferred a second time). How can I hunt down the old data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Use an app to search what is taking up the most space in internal SD. I use es file Explorer for file managment and it has that option, but surely there are other apps

All on my Zenfone 2. Starting today, in addition to never getting notified when receiving a message I found when emailing people I was trying to text they weren't getting my texts nor I theirs. After going through the helps apps one of the suggestions to do was a factory reset. Reluctantly I did that only to find that the problem persisted as well as realizing I could no longer connect to my WiFi which caused me not to be able to download all my apps that had been backed up. Haven't found any solutions as of yet.

Currently I have a spigen tough armor case with a kickstand (broke off) and a skinomi screen protector. I tend to take my case off a lot to replace the battery with a spare. By doing this it seems to slowly peal off my screen protectors. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for a combo that would work for someone who takes their case off a lot.
[ZenFone 2 General] srilesh:
I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted & installed the Cyanogenmod unofficial 12.1 build for ASUS Zenfone 2.

But, I realized I have a problem with the battery connector, and ASUS will be providing me with a replacement. But, the warranty will be void as I have unlocked, rooted & uninstalled the stock ROM.

Need help on going back to the factory settings.
[ZenFone 2 General] sooty84:
flashing back asus rom is simple, unroot is simple, to dis-unlock your bootloader is.... :/
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Yeah, easy to flash everything back to stock unrooted, but there is currently no way to lock the bootloader once unlocked. Best you can do is flash the original black splash screen so it is not immediately obvious it is unlocked and hope they don't check the bootloader.
[ZenFone 2 General] sooty84:
send it back and pray it won't be detected as boot unlock. OR you wait till the official unlocking is out then send it back.
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
official unlocking will likely report back to ASUS and will be on a warranty-voiding basis anyway.
[ZenFone 2 General] Harfainx:
Physical faults aren't voided by unlocking the bootloader anyway.

If it's a hardware connection issue, that's a factory defect, not a software-induced fault.

Just throw a stock ROM on it and don't worry about the bootloader.
[ZenFone 2 General] srilesh:
Thanks sooty, kanagawaben, harfainx. Will do as suggested - flash the original black screen, unroot & install stock rom.
[ZenFone 2 General] sooty84:
i read into the bootloader unlocking method and saw this line

getprop ro.isn > /factory/asuskey

i'm not a modder but this line trigger ro.isn to store in /factory/asuskey

so my question would be what was in asuskey previously. and if this was the file that open bootloader.

hence, it require a phone that was not unlock to go into terminal and do this

su

cd /

mkdir backupfile

find / -type f -name asuskey

find / -type f -name ro.isn

cat PATH/asuskey > /backupfile/asuskey

cat PATH/ro.isn > /backupfile/ro.isn

exit

go to your file manager and port the 2 files out from /backupfile

lets compare these with our unlock bootloader files.

i'm hoping it is this simple, because the command is only 1 liner and seem nothing much else it does except copying ro.isn to /factory/asuskey
[ZenFone 2 General] htc_softbank:
When you want to flash back to stock from custom, are the steps the following?

1)Download stock rom from asus

2)Format phone

3)Flash stock ROM from custom recovery?

The reason I ask is because there is a guide that says you need to edit the stock rom when flashing from custom rom/recovery.. Link to his guide here: GUIDE FOR FULL ROM

Hi,

I'm new to these things. Please help. :(

I have partial problems with my phone's speaker. I want to try can it be fixed via System Update.

Speaker problem is kinda mind-bending. Not sure when it occurs.

Speaker seems to work fine when calling someone near. When calling from over ~10 kilometers, speaker distorts the incoming sound. Works fine with loud speaker, which kind of takes the problem out of being problem of my service provider.

I'm quite possibly going to take my phone to the warranty service. That's why I want to have the "Device status: Official", not "Custom".

My friend rooted and installed a custom ROM, which I didn't like. I made him uninstall the ROM but the root stayed. (Late 2013)

Now comes the part I think I f***ed up.

Started watching videos about urooting, unbricking and such. Now what I have accomplished is that I've pressed "unroot" in SuperSU and uninstalled it.

Soon to notice that I should've used some program to clear the Device status. :o

Not sure what Flashing Android means and when its done, but there is counter which should be put to zero?

Those two things are done in programs which require rooting? So what do I do now?

Installing SuperSU gives me error binary not installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. Someone in fixed this with restarting device in Recovery mode with QuickBoot program which, again, needed the device to be rooted already.

I want to have my System Update done by the "right" way, from "About device" -> "Update". Now it gives me "Your device has been modified."

Please redirect and guide me!

I have S4 active GT-I9295, android version 4.2.2. Ask about baseband, kernel versions/other statuses if you need those informations!

Thank you SO much for your time and help beforehand! :good:

So, I haven't been in the custom rom world since the S5 and the advent of Xposed. So I could keep my phone completely stock. I've been looking for deodexed version of 5.1.1 so I could download xposed on my S6, which I have been dying without for months. But to my surprise, all of the deodexed roms are for custom recoveries that trip knox, and I'm still trying to preserve mines. Is that a deodexed version of stock 5.1.1 as an odin file anywhere? Or is there a method to make it.

Thanks in advance.

I have a moto g falcon xt1033 dual sim variant. Tried slimkat official 9.0 build. Also 7.0. Both of these do not pick up networks and I can't register on any mobile network. This is an Indian version. Also, even flickers until I turn off and turn on the display once after boot. I suspect it is because this ROM is made for the XT1032 single sim, so anyone with a fix or port? TIA
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim_0068:
EDIT: phone is currently unlocked/rooted

I've had a G2 since it almost came out, i don't have nearly the time to spend on here as i used to. Thus i've stuck with jellybean because everything works well and i have it set up how i want but it's a bit long in the tooth and the phone needs to have a full clean factory wipe so i figured i'd take the time to update to something newer.

My thought process is the following:

Save everything i want to keep and take off phone (including titanium backups)

Factory reset phone

Allow OTA updates to download and install

Then root

Then install custom roms (if i so choose)

Now fellow XDAers, anything wrong with my logic? I did do some reading and some searching and it seems like lollipop is rootable with a script and i can install customer recoverys with a script as well. I'd like the phone to still be able to unlock and root my device.

Thanks for any help and/or links to tutorials.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I am not sure but I think OTA updates need a unrooted system with stock recovery.

I had a rooted KK and I could not OTA to LP because the download was over 1.5 GBs!

The best solution may be to back everything up, connect the phone to LG Tools, and choose the upgrade recovery method to get the latest ROM for your phone.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] schecter7:
How about a thread on possible SW enhancements through future FW updates? IDK if it matters, but we could try.

Here's my list, but please add whatever SW issues/bugs you've run into.

1. They should put 'microphone noise suppression' back to call settings. My HK Z3+ doesn't have it, but my Taiwanese Z2 does. I'm using those in the US, but I can ask for it on behalf of HK folks anyway :p

2. Occasional high 'mobile radio active' numbers on 4G (LTE) mostly from Google apps . My fix was to 'close all apps' once in a while. It's a known lollipop issue (Thanks [MENTION=4336026]addicted1900[/MENTION])

3. Current 8mp auto mode is great for low-light shots. I'd say it's probably the best one in Androidland. Day shots could use a 16mp auto mode, but that will probably ruin current 8mp mode's low noise advantage with excessive noise. So it'd be great if they could adjust the resolution on the fly with some extra settings (like dynamic resolution, always 16mp/20mp, always 8mp,etc). Or at least include a separate high res auto mode (it'd be confusing - I know)

4. Auto mode could use a little lower EV while shooting at bright objects.

5. I used 'trepn' to profile core usage (& assuming trepn itself is not a CPU hog)

Home screen: All 4 little (a53) cores running at max 1.56 GHz most of the times with occasional bursts from 1/2 big (a57) cores. Sounds like an overkill

Settings page: Ditto

Camera (superior auto for photo only): Ditto

Fun fact: Only little cores run the 4K show. Something could be done there too

Point is there is room for improvement & going by Sony's fw update history (their fw updates are quite solid, btw), we could ask for the same thing here :)

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] miker71:
When recording video I'd like the option to defeat noise cancellation/DSP and record 'flat'. Or tweak it somehow. Right now my Z2 records generally better audio on video than my Z3+ .... the Z3+ doesn't seem to record with much gain either, when it's supposed to be autogain - can't believe it needs that much headroom.

Plug in the STM10 (or a Smartlav+ ) and thankfully audio is very much improved - but I don't always have those with me.

I'm sure the speakers can go louder for ringtones, again seems quieter than my Z2 by maybe 3dB or 6dB perhaps (haven't measured, but human ear generally sensitive to 3dB differences).

Really pleased on the Z3+ things like Lifelog and Social are uninstallable, even PlayStation and PSN apps come off without root (could not be removed from Z2). I really like the direction of optional bloatware.

I don't know how broad Sony's Backup vault is, but I'd like to be able to backup/restore custom ringtones and SMS/hangout notifications for my contacts. This is one area where iPhone excels - restore to a new iPhone and pretty much everything remains identical. I don't want to have to futz with NFC locally when it could all already be stored in the cloud.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Z3+ ... but I warn Sony, if they start going all proprietary again (eg all that ATRAC nonsense, can't even play a video from a standard USB stick on my Dad's Bravia TV, etc) -- then I will leave as quickly as I arrived :)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] miker71:
Another one for my wish list - a quick way to add Reminders by voice input - perhaps add the option to the long-press power button menu. (I know I think there is an option to always have Google Now listening if the screen is on, but I don't want that)

Not sure of the security implications though, I notice on my Z2 and Z3+ for example if I want to change Camera Mode out of Superior Auto after quick-launching it from sleep with the hardware button then I need to unlock with my password.

Hey everyone,

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I was running Lollipop 5.0.2 with my phone rooted, unlocked, and had previously run ROM cleaner. I attempted to reset my phone since I'm planning on selling it, and now its screwed up. Immediately following the reset attempt, I got a screen saying Android updating, optimizing apps (and it ran through all the apps that i was attempting to delete). Then once the phone cycled and booted up, i got "Unfortunately system UI has stopped." Not exactly sure what to do. Heres a picture of my bootloader. Oh and I don't believe I had any backups created. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Relock the bootloader and RUU to (almost) full stock.

But you should still make the buyer aware the phone was at one point modded. It will say RELOCKED on the bootloader screen, instead of the factory condition which is LOCKED. Plus, HTC has a record of the bootloader being unlocked by HTCDev.com.

[Moto X Q&A] Brett316:
My brother just bought a new in box Moto X off eBay (ruling out any warranty) about a week ago. Today it asked to update the OS, which he accepted. During the update (green android robot with blue swirly thing inside) the phone simply blinked off and ceased to respond. And I mean NO response. I don't get LED's, boot, fast boot, recovery, charge, ANYTHING. Plugging it into a computer also gives no response.

My bro didn't take note of the OS that it was updating to, but it was just an OTA. He had no suspicious apps, hadn't played with ROM's, just barely had his phone working before this happened.

I spent a long time googling for this same problem, but no results. Everyone at least gets SOME response out of their phone. I can't imagine this is a hardware problem, and I'm certain he had plenty of charge when he initiated the update (only half a day of use on the charge, should have been at %50-60 on the low side).

Anybody have an idea on how to proceed? Any info would be greatly appreciated, even a link to a helpful thread that I missed.
