[Nokia N1] t1xs:
I don't understand why "fastboot oem ..." commands seem to work for some here in this forum but not for others (such as me). I used ADB Installer 1.4.3 (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979) under Windows 7 (but had to update drivers under Windows following installation in accordance with the "howto_driver" picture guide in the same thread.

Please help - I have no idea how to get back to a running system. As mentioned before, I have only access to fastboot but not to adb. Would flashing a recovery.img from the original A5CN51C help to bring back the previous state? But where to get it? (I already tried to flash the respective TW recovery.img offered in this forum - but it didn't change anything.) Or is it poosible to flash the entire system and all partitions etc.? But where to get the respective image?
[Nokia N1] Skyfiend:
Update, thank you, I've successful flashed my N1 from A5CNB19 to A5FMB19.
[Nokia N1] airtrack:
same problem im on 5.0.2 and now i cant boot...
[Nokia N1] t1xs:
Try flashing the TW boot.img offered by woodz69 (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62047546&postcount=16) with "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

Did you have the possibility to oem unlock in the developers section and then to execute the "fastboot oem unlock" command?

As mentioned before, I didn't have that option and I guess that's the reason for my problems. Two questions:

Has someone experience whether (a) the unlock option is generally disabled with A5CN51C but will appear when updating to the current CN version and (b) OTA-update is still possible when the recovery mode is not working?
[Nokia N1] iNickMe:
anyone have recovery.img for A5WU51C version, can send me please? i cant access to recovery, so i cant install update :(

Does anyone know how to ALWAYS make the "ok" hardware button exit any running applications? I basically never want to have to use my thumb to touch the X onscreen to close an app ever again.

By default all Windows Mobile devices leave applications running when you press X. I turned on HTC's Task Manager so that when I clikc the X it exits the app. But even with the HTC task manager setting on, if you use the hardware "ok" button the app is still running in the background.

Is there a way to edit the registry or something to make the hardware "ok" button always EXIT whatever app I'm running??

You can assing Software to the hardwarebuttons by "start - settings - buttons" then choose OK-button and assinge HTC X-Button to it.
[Wing, P4350 General] Applestar:
Try AEButton Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) to connect the button to an "real exit"-Application, like VJok-Button (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt)

Regards
[Wing, P4350 General] doug3673:
Have you even TRIED what you're suggesting? This does not work. The HTC exit button program is not in the list, because it's not a normal program, it's like an addition to the windows mobile OS. HTC task manager isn't' a program that stays running. it's a setting, so it ain't in the list.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finallly!!! Thank you so much!!! This works perfectly. I only needed VJok-button, not the other app. Now this makes operating the phone with one hand sooooo much easier.

Indeed - i never uses HTC taskman. I´m using I launcher. But there are 100 programs for closing apps that you can assing to the hardwarebutton. VJ is one of them.

And no. I didn´t try it before posting - because my Terra is dead.

But I wanted to give you the hint that there is a possibility to assing different programs to the OK. button.

And thanks for the explanation of HTC taskmanager...;)

* App will start recording a video of your evil deed and after a second play the selected sound.

Hey, just wanted to share the newest TWRP recovery.

Get the phone to fastboot mode (Vol- + Power) and execute this:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

To boot into that recovery, use either Vol+ + Power or Vol+ + Vol- + Power (second one started to be the case when I flashed about 10 ROMs back and forth).

Don't forget that if you still have stock MIUI ROM and flash the recovery, you must boot directly into it. If you let the MIUI boot after replacing the recovery

with TWRP, it will replace it back with the stock one.

Hi.

First link is for CN or China base firmware.

Seccond link is for ROW, Rest Of the World base firmware.

In the 3-rd lik is for firmware developed by the awsome developers from 4PDA forum and Lenovo forum.ru. It is some firmware thai i have not tried.... yet :D

Hi stympy,just wanted to know:

1.what's the difference in miui &emui?

2.is it rooted?

3.can I restore apps and settings in emui if I backup them in miui 5.8.6?

4.how is the memory optimization in emui as miui becomes laggy after opening 5-6 apps???
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi all. I am sorry to inform you that I did not tried this firmware. I wanted to check it this weekend.

I think i will try tomorrow.

[Lenovo P780] kri32ablu:
MiUI and EMUI are totally different. MIUI is the UI created by Xiaomi for their phones. EMUI is Emotion UI created by Huawei for their phones. Completely different in structure, but similar in looks (a little.) So if you want to back up your apps from EMUI to MIUI you will HAVE to use an app like Titanium Backup and back them up on SD card.

SS for this rom

Everything Woking so far as I installed today.had to install Google keyboard else the rom is smooth.
[Lenovo P780] kri32ablu:
Woah, nice SS man! This ROM looks amazing. Please update us about the RAM management and the battery life. Is there any major lag?

Edit: Also could you add a SS of the locked screen or an image of it or something?
[Lenovo P780] anujyadava:
RAM management is very good, much better than miui or equal to slx rom(if u have used it).battery life rocks .

Bugs I have found so far is that themes are not applied or customized and xposed not working. Else everything Woking fine.attaching SS as requested.both images of lock screen

Best KK based RAM used so far

Hi. System apk or zip ate for some modifications of icons and some sliding efects. Backup the file and try.

Sent from my Lenovo P780
[Lenovo P780] kri32ablu:
So I tried this ROM and have a few tips and pointers for those who are flashing it:

1) The icons and wallpapers are weird at the start so the moment you install this ROM and boot, go to Themes and change the theme to Default(Magazine) theme so that everything becomes materialistic and stuff.

2) The Language of the ROM is some weird one at beginning (Russian maybe) so change it to English

3) The Keyboard is weird at beginning, not the normal one, so you may have to download a better one like Google Keyboard etc.

4) It shows the SD card as Internal Memory for some reason and the Built in one as external. I don't know why but doesn't make much of a difference.

EDIT: 5) Also don't forget to install Systemui.apk as it imporves the icons a bit and the animations as Stympy said above. And the theme folders have loads of themes that you can download but haven't tried them yet.

Otherwise, the ROM is beautiful. Somewhat similar to MiUI but also different at the same time. NO major lags or stutters. Materialistic, (not animations just looks) and battery and RAM management seems fantastic. Try it. Try it now. :D
[Lenovo P780] anujyadava:
For themes to work in this ROM,first change theme from default to gleam and then apply any theme. Customization is similar to that in miui without any lag so far.

AWESOME themes....
[Lenovo P780] AgentCain:
Can you repartition the internal memory?
[Lenovo P780] anujyadava:
just ask stympy.wont be able to help you in this regard.
[Lenovo P780] kri32ablu:
The SD card memory is shown as the internal memory in this ROM.
[Lenovo P780] AgentCain:
So then can you repartition the actual internal memory, so that you'll have as much memory as possible to install your apps?
[Lenovo P780] ersinkavakli:
Themes is not working for me, even i tried first default theme then changed to gleam, then tried others but th e y not changed.

Nope this still doesnt work for me. i tried to clear chache of themes.apk and then aply default theme, then aply a downloaded theme from their theme market, nothing changed them not aplied.

If i try to use customize menu i can chose any themes any section like lockscreen walpaper main walpaper, lockscreen style, icon style etc etc but cant aply a full theme which also changes notification line and dialer screens.

old versions of emui3 on p780, i was able to chance the themes by firs aplying default then chosing anyone.

Sould i factory reset and do this aplying default theme thing as the first thing in the first boot.

I am confused. I dont want to loose my tons of program and their settings again.

But thems emui has and its styles used is better than MIUI i believe.

It is a pleasure to use it hope there will be some fix soon.

5) Make sure you've selected twrp recovery.img for RECOVERY

6) Flash in firmare upgrade mode (press reset button and connect the phone)

7) Boot to recovery and format /system (not required if /system size is the same in selected rom and new layout)

8) flash your favorite rom.zip in recovery (it should not contain uboot.img, or replace it with lk.bin from layout zip)

I can't get past it, even after trying to flash different NXX .tars. I've tried two different computers, and different cables. I've tried Odin 3.10, 3.09 and 3.07

Can you get to download mode to ODIN a ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashhsalf:
Yes, that is what i've been trying with Power+Vol Down+Home Key, I leave everything default and then add the .tar in the AP field. Few posts about other Samsung phones mention that i need to add some files in the BL, CP, CSC, field, but not sure if that applies to our S5.??

i've downloaded almost all of the Stock_Restore.tar files from this thread: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880) and I've also tried the Stock_Retail.tar but they all fail at with the error in ODIN. After the error, I reboot but I can't get to the Samsung S5 screen. I get bootlooped into the ODIN screen saying firmware got corrupted, so with another attempts to reset, battery pull etc, I get to the normal ODIN screen and If I flash a Firmware, only then do I get to the Samsung S5 screen, but then nothing.

What I am not clear about is do I need to install the Retail Firmware or the Modem or the Kernel individually? Or do I just flash the Stock_Restore.tar as it has all of those files in it already.

Few times I was able to get ODIN to flash the rom tar without any errors not sure what changes I made, but it would then just sit on the Samsung Galaxy screen and not do anything.

Second time, I got Recovery Booting on the top left of the screen and then it'd just sit there. I tried to get into the Recovery Menu, but nothing would happen.

So I've just been trying to flash differnt combination of Firmware and stock Rom.tar files hoping something would stick, but i feel like i'm running in circles.

I've tried to get Kies 3 to work, but why samsung doesn't list the serial number on the S5 and then ask for it in their software is beyond me. I've tried Smart Switch, but it doesn't support our phone and i get stuck with the same are where I need the Serial Number. :/

Flash this. Unzip the file and you'll find a large file that ends in tar.md5

Click the button that says 'AP' and flash it.

I was on MOAR's OC4 ROM and i've tried what you have suggested and after I get the 'PASS!" and the system reboots, it never leaves the 'Samsung S5' screen. It'll stay there for hours. I then try to enter Recovery and I'll get the Recovery Booting on the top left of the screen in blue ..... and then it'll just stay there as well. I think something got corrupted and can't be overwritten with ODIN.

Where is the recover image located? In the bootloader? The menu which you see after you hit the Power + Vol UP+ Home?

Isn't everyone in over their head when they try to fix their phone for the first time with so much information scattered all over web forums and then multitude of exception about which rom and which firmware to install? Needless to say I took your advice and went to the Verizon store and they said what I excepted, Its not their problem, I need to take it to Samsung. I then found a Samsung support place at Best Buy and he pretty much said, because it said System Status: Custom , he can't plug it into his computer. So yea, not much help there, but thanks for your suggestions.
