[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enpyre:
hey! thanks for your reply Heisenberg, ive read a lot of threads where you alone helped out a lot of people in a jam like me to fix their device

The answer of why im dirty flashing one over the other is because if youll believe it or not, its suggested by the ROM developer himself for people coming from older builds. (relies on newer firmware being installed)

link to the ROMs thread: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/rom-kernel-unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3120259

meat of it:

but ive taken your suggestion and have now flashed the latest 12.1 stock image release via this thread: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541

which is essentially just the stock image for fastboot install and a batch file inputting these commands

(for your review): (i have the 64gb model)

and If I were to boot that up it works just fine, yet I wipe and newly flash the new desired ROM over it and STILL! the problem persists, suddenly get a bootloop.

what gives? I cant wrap my head around it. Theoretically everything should work, and I got one device to do it properly, but the other cannot.

What damage could I have done by accident dicking around in TWRP that I messed it up but ONLY when trying to boot this one specific ROM, lol!

The reason I want the phone to be identical is because my lil bro is new to Android and I want our experience to be as identical as possible so we can 'learn' it together, even though I already know it, Im doing it so he can learn it by knowing he can make the exact same changes/customizations that Ive done.

thanks for your time
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enpyre:
Just wanted to seperate this post from the above for readabilility.

at this point I think everythig im doing is correct, its just that there must be some filesystem or some partition or some small unused portion of my phone that is all screwed up and its only being activated by this rom, so im trying to go about reinstalling EVERYTHING back to stock, including things that flashing a stock image via fastboot wouldnt normally replace, like the persist partition. Ive tried that via Heisenbergs other thread before this he suggested it in last case of unexplained bootloops.

and Ive even gone so far as to rebuild the entire filesystem and partition? (or so I think thats what it does when I do THIS:)

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

and output will be :

from various posts but e.g.

www reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/2krscj/oneplus_one_reboot_loop_fix/

another example: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061

Only in my case, my problem still persists. So, i guess now my question is, is there anything im missing from restoring by doing both of these things? how can I still not be covering everything, what am i missing here.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You're misinterpreting those instructions. You are meant to flash the latest CM nightly in order to update your firmware, but you're not meant to dirty flash another ROM over the top, you need to clean flash it. Once the firmware is installed it stays there, ROM flashes don't affect it. So after flashing the stock images with fastboot did you dirty flash the Sultan ROM or did you wipe first?

Your persist partition isn't the problem, if it was nothing would boot up, including the stock ROM after flashing the stock images. I think perhaps your problem is related to dirty flashing the ROM over the CM nightly. Do this:

1. Go into TWRP and perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache).

2. Flash your ROM + gapps.

3. Boot the phone.

Don't know if Amazon has or has not given up on the Fire Phone, but for $130 now (I had just bought it two days ago, and then contacted them for a refund of the $31 difference) including a year of Amazon Prime, it is likely the cheapest 'fair' handset on the market.

I picked one off eBay with Prime for 139.99, there seem to be a few others out there. I been playing with it for 5 days now. So far so good, and for a net price of 40.00 bucks, definitely worth it.

2. If I go the CM11 route, has the mute button issue and other basics been fixed? And I assume here google apps will have no issues working.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nestoridae:
Hello,

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7” from 2012 using Android 7.5.1. After lots of troubles with the ADB drivers I finally got it rooted. Now I’m ready to do cool stuff! The problem is that most things don’t work.

FYI I hace ES Explorer with Root explorer ON and ROM Toolbox Lite.

I would be grateful if you could help me in these issues:

Issue 1: Google play services has stopped working.

Back in 2012 I installed all the google apks following instructions from one of the threads in the forum. Some time ago I started to get the message “Google play services has stopped working”. That’s when I rooted the kindle.

Once rooted, I uninstalled all, downloaded again all apk and reinstalled with google play services version 7.0.99. Same results. Reading forums, sites, watching videos, I tried many ways. I even created the folder and dummy apks i read about in a thread in this forum (http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-inch-help/google-play-services-7-3-28-stopping-t3086528). Still no results. The services dont’ update, I still have 7.0.99 but still does not work. I suspect it is some issue related to the android version... I don’t know...

Issue 2: Custom Launcher

I’m sick of the lame amazon launcher, I tried to install a custom launcher (downloading the apk from apk downloades site). I install the apk but the open button is greyed and I can’t open it. Also, It does not appear on my app library. I tried with Go Launcher EX, hola Launcher, Nova launcher... All the same. I can see them in the app manager (in Settings) so they are installed. I also read threads about this issue and tried moving the apk from /data/app to system/app but even with root explorer ON and RW permission enabled in /system, ES explorer can’t paste the apk there.

So, even I have the most Ironclad version of android or I am useless ant this. Can anybody help me please?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlr8edmayhem:
so i'll try my best to help you out on this.

Issue 1: i believe that for whatever, google play and amazon just don't work well even with root, when i rooted my kindle first time i got the google play store but eventually got the same thing you did the whole "google play services has stopped working". So i had to uninstall all of google play and then reinstall to where i just had the android market(If you don't know the market is it's just like a downgraded google play store) but for whatever reasons, it agrees with amazon more then the actual google play store and doesn't crash any.

In short your solution for issue 1 is either uninstall all of google play and only install what you need to have the android market, or go about using a custom rom, like the official cyanogenmod rom, or the unofficial Omnirom and Candy5 rom, as i've never had any sort of google play store trouble with any of those, excluding candy5 as i'm currently flashing that as i type this to try it out.

Issue 2: So this could be one of 2 things.

First off, after you installed the apks, did you reboot your kindle? Yea it's really simple but if you don't reboot the apks don't intialize which could be why you can't access them in the app library. Secondly, i read somewhere on one of the XDA threads about one of Amazons OTA updates making it difficult to install customs launchers, i had a lot of trouble with go launcher ex which is mainly why i finally decided to just flash a custom rom.

In short your solution for issue 2 is to try installing the apks, and then reboot the kindle, see if that maybe initializes them. Or it could be Amazon just locking down harder on its device, which if it is that, you could probaly find some sort of work around, but you'd probably be better off with a custom rom, although if you're a fan of the kindles stock set up try Kinology.

Hope i've helped!

Hi guys, new firmware for Z Ultra (C6833 & C6843) has been certfied. It is probably 5.1.1 update and it should roll out soon. This firmware is right now certified only for Z Ultra C6833 & C6843 variants but Z1 and Z1 Compact should see certification of this firmware soon too.

Sooo... They said they would start rolling out the coming weeks, but it's been a month and a week.

It just got 'certified'... whatever... that means... And possibly get the update in another week, only to discover that they haven't fixed problems but introduced new ones. We still haven't got a worthwhile lollipop rom... and at the same time google has announced the next android.

because sony does not listen to user feedback about bugs and problems.

Last time I called customer support, they did not know the difference between content adaptive backlight and automatic brightness

Yeah, I ain't buying sony again. 4 sony phones are enough.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve1221:
Hi All,

Just got the G3 and trying to root.

I've tried scripts and gui/1click roots and none will put the phone into download mode!

I've the LG drivers installed and adb running.

All the methods fail at the same point. They push the files to the phone, ok. They try to reboot into download mode and the phone just restarts!

I've tried the manual way (usb plugged in while holding vol+) the phone boots normally!

I've done nothing else to the phone that would wipe anything. All I've run are a number of ways to root.

Its a a D855 (v20i-EUR-xx) on 5.0 running stock everything. I've tried 7 (yes, 7) different usb leads and 3 pc's (windows 7 and 8).

Can anyone suggest something? Or a test to see if there's a problem with download mode s/w ??

Many, many thanks....

[XDA Assist] Shaun98:
Hello, I have been messing around with clockwork mod recently but I'm having some troubles I'll list them below. if anyone could help me that would be great!

Question 1. Not sure what file to use. I am using a galaxy s4 GGt-i9505 and when I try to install CWM from the app it says jfte and if i click phone not listed it says gt19505 not supported. I'm not sure if this is the correct file to use because I looked on the clockwork mod website and seen the manual install files and found the gt-i9505 files on there. So basically my question is for the galaxy s4 do I flash the jfte CWM file or the gt-i9505 file? If I Google search jfte it says it just another name for the galaxy s4 so I'm not sure.

Question 2.I have had an issue with system ui crashing when trying to install the jfte file through the app rather than through Odin and once it says installed and reboot phone i still don't have Clockwork recovery it still is the original recovery that came with the phone. How do I fix this?

Question 3. Every time I do a backup to my external SD card it puts the date of the backup as somewhere in the 1970s and puts the time to 11pm and then when I try to restore to the backup it says MD5 mismatch and tells me the location where it sent the recovery.log and I can't get any of my backups to restore without MD5 miss match Every time. Does anyone know a solution.

I Am rooted and I am running the latest version of lolipop. Is lolipop compatible with CWM?

Thanks for the help! Shaun. :good:

The good news is Lenovo has better supply chain management. The bad news neither company has very good customer support. Even the supply chain part assumes Lenovo will support

with resources. It frankly seems more like a graceful exit from Lenovo brand in the phone market. Lenovo did no favors to either company with the absolutely poorly timed layoffs. A corporate

saboteur could not hope for better.

A strong Pure/Style release would help, but already Moto Play is in supply issues out of the gate.

Hi, my friend has S6 G920F with stock ROM LMY47X.G920FXXU2BOG8 (5.1.1). I tried to flash TWRP but I was not succesfull.

Steps I did:

Enabled developer setting, enabled USB debugging

Turned the phone off, then booted to Download mode

Installed drivers to Windows 10 (detected as Samsung USB modem)

Ran Odin 3.10.6 as Administrator

Select TWRP 2.8.7.1 as AP

Start flash

I got messages about flashing, everything seems OK, thone was restarted, KNOX is 1 but the recovery isn't there :( When I turn the phone off, then on with volume up + home + power, I got stock recovery (it takes long time to boot there). I tried there my phone and I flashed new bootloader/modem without issues.

Any idea what could prevent flashing TWRP?

I own a Xperia S Device and tried update the android to 5.1 anyway i unlocked the bootloader and downlaoded on pc the flashtool.

My thoughts was to flash a kernel so i can go in recovery mode and install the zips that a had on my sdcard,so i flash a boot.img from CM and going in recovery mode the problem is i cant find the Zips that a had in my sdcard to install the rom.... now the phone don't start it says free xperia and stack there,The main problem is that i cant explore the files and put the zips files again i am not sure if they lost or just the recovery dont find them. :rolleyes:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bingorabbit:
I have been on stock almost all my life, but I once thought what could go wrong with having a rooted phone. I unlocked the bootloader, and tried just booting a custom recovery TWRP, and it worked, although it didn't work before as I heard HTC disabled booting recoveries only. Flashed SuperSU, and VOILA!

I installed a couple of applications I wanted to try, first of them was Titanium Backup, and removed a couple of applications like the default "Internet" browser. I also installed greenify and played with it for while.

Yesterday, I tried installing the latest OTA that fixes the Stagefright exploit, and my phone got soft bricked stuck at the booting screen. Thanks to a Nandroid backup I made with TWRP before rooting - or even after rooting I really can't remember -, which I restored, got the OTA normally but wiped my phone.

Here are my questions:

- Does root only change system files?

- If I removed the default "Internets application that came with the phone after root "uninstalled" it, does this change stock?

- Would greenify with root cause that?

- Is there any official way to restore the stock system files?

I'm just trying to figure out the exact reason here..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinSB:
[MENTION=4833233]bingorabbit[/MENTION], I can answer 'some' of your questions.

1. Does root only change system files?

I think so, but Someone Else will have to give you a better answer on this one...

2. If I removed the default "Internets application that came with the phone after root "uninstalled" it, does this change stock?

Absolutely - & this particular OTA is really, really picky. If it's not absolutely untouched stock, it all goes wrong & your phone will hang on the boot screen, as both yours & mine did.

3. Would greenify with root cause that?

Whilst I don't know greenify, if it needs root, then yes, absolutely, your 'stock' will no longer be 'stock', & this OTA will all go horribly wrong...

4. Is there any official way to restore the stock system files?

Absolutely yes. Find out your CID, read up on how to deal with an RUU, find & download the right RUU, then walk a little further down the rabbit hole
