Your persist partition might be corrupt. Grab this:

Then do this with fastboot:

fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img

Radio ROM's can NOT be exracted from ROM's you have to wait for a carrior to release it or HTC... we have been over this a few times there simply isnt the right tools to extract just the radio form the nbh file.

Just send him a message about it. He probably tests official ROMs so he has the newest radio.

Either that or its a typo. Haha.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maynard46:
bought a second ZF2 from amazon. tracking shows it arrived 9/4 but i dont have it and had to have amazon open an investigation.....thats great but i have to wait for that before i get my new phone. So being i spent $300 on this new item and i dont have it, i am pissed and want to know if it would be possible to track the imei since Asus labels them on the box and i am sure amazon scans that barcode label. Couldnt they track the imei even if the phone is not activated? or would it have to be activated before the imei can be tracked?

i dont know how imei works with an inactive or active unlocked phone. Wouldnt the owner of the phone have to report the imei as stolen? but how would that work on a phone that didnt have a carrier?

Anyone know about this stuff? thanks in advance!

sidenote - i am sure amazon will send me a new phone once i call them in the morning. I did chat for the claim..... but it pisses me off to think someone might have stolen this from my front door. I would kind if like to find it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Depending what country but here in Oz if you supply the police with an imei number of a phone that was stolen it can be blacklisted. That means no carrier here in Australia will allow that phone to be used however if it gets shipped outside Australia there is no problem using the phone...

Sometimes you see these phones for sale on ebay with a title saying "For sale overseas only"...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maynard46:
i am in the US. i know imei can be blacklisted with a carrier, but this is an unopened brand new unlocked phone. No sim, no carrier. plus i am more interested in trying to see if i or amazon can track this phone to find out where it is.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafyvitto:
Was it sold directly by amazon or an amazon seller? if it was by an amazon seller he "might" have a database containing IMEI's of the phones he sell's, if it was amazon then your out of luck they do not keep records of IMEI of any kind, just explain the issue to amazon im sure they will gladly replace the device.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maynard46:
From Amazon.....not a 3rd party i would be surprised Amazon wont record a serial # or imei # especially since the label is on the outside of the box with a simple barcode label.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipercoyote:
.....................
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maynard46:
I called and they were very good about it. I get the impression this happens a lot. I don't know why they used usps. They make tons of mistakes.

I asked Amazon for the serial number and imei so I can file a police report. Sadly they emailed me the asin number instead. I can not believe they don't keep serial or imei for there products.

Is there a way to get this info from Amazon or even Asus? Police won't take a report with out that info
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weed4sven:
I've read this issue with other devices, however. i've not found a solution for this yet

I'm new to this forums, let me know if i don't do something right.

I've been using Alberto97's AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1, it's my first custom rom install, i got it on

the first try, TWRP 2.8.6.0 running with no problems.. flashed other stuff like moto camera, marshmallow bootanim, and that's all

Last week i've tried to update to the CAF latest version of his build, however, TWRP

reboots when i try to wipe the /data partition, in the custom TRWP 2.8.7.0 thread found

i might need to repair the partition, i tried it with no success, repaired /cache with no problem, but when i try to fsck /data on TWRP it gaves me an error, haven't tried /system yet.

tried using CWM and it got stuck at wiping /data for like an hour (endless loop), i rebooted, the data was wiped, but i couldn't flash the ROM image, rebooted to clean system with no problems, it wipes cache and dalvik with no issues.

What's causing this? i have not faced apps FC or anything, just the TWRP random crashes at wiping, i'm using a Moto G XT1032 16GB TWRP 2.8.6.0 No custom kernel or non official recovery.

justpaste.it/wipedar

Leaving recovery.log on external page for reference.

hope you can help, thanks in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commendatoreluciano:
Same problem here

You can use CWM by PhilZ for fixing what I think is a broken symlink to the emulated internal storage card.

I am using philz-6.58.7-falcon that you can find and download here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639583

Once you have flashed the new recovery you can go to "Advance menu", then to "change sdcard target" and define it to /data/media (you just have to tap on the option to set it).

Go back, select "Wipe option", then "Wipe User media" and the process should be successful.

If you reinstall TWRP and wipe "/data" now the rebooting problem should be gone and everything back to normal.

Hope this helps for you.

By the way this is my very first post here. So I hope I am doing this right.

Greetings. :)

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaveupontv:
HI,

I've had a Nook HD+ for less than a week, and I seem to have turned it into a brick last night. I booted with a AFN card (dual boot) and it booted ok, and I loaded up a kindle app, and a file manager app. I had the charge cable hooked to my computer's USB, and the PC screen showed my device and 2 folders, which I believe were the internal memory and the 32 GB card with the AFN software. I dragged file onto one of the folders and immediately the Nook's screen went dark. Nothing I could do, with the 32 GB card inserted or removed, would have any effect on the Nook. I"ve been pressing the on switch for >> 30-60 seconds, and also tried it with the N key held down and with the volume keys (both and singular keys) held down. The tablet will not do ANYTHING. When I first push in the data/charging cable in, there is a little LED next to it. It will turn green for about 5 seconds, and then it will turn orange for about 5 seconds-that is all. Nothing else happens.

Is there anything I can do to fix this thing?

Thank you for any info.

I think the Nook HD+ would have been all I needed-I mostly just read books. Sometimes I go to Starbucks, and browse the web, that's mostly about it. But I have all formats of books, EPUB, PDF, Kindle, DJVU, mostly and the Nook wouldn't 'take' the Kindle app obviously, so I thought this (turning it into full android) would be good.

If I get another android, what's good and cheap? I'd prefer

Damn. It's only for C5503. Is there any possibilities that it will release for C5502?
[Sony Xperia ZR] TaAaZZ:
You can flash all C5503 firmwares on C5502, you wont face any problems. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] enfilade:
Yes, it will be released for C5502 as well. It might be soon or you might even have to wait for a few weeks.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Android4Lyfeee:
Are you sure? If I can, I could flash the C5503 ftf file to my C5502 without problems? And I could flash it using flashtool with locked bootloader, can I? And one more question, will it remove all internal memory?
[Sony Xperia ZR] TaAaZZ:
I am sure about flashing C5503 rom on C5502 device because i am using it myself.

To flash custom recovery bootloader should be unlocked as far as i know but this is an official rom so i dont know. It may work without unlocking. (You dont recieve official OTA updates with unlocked bootloader thats the only harm, if you end up unlocking remember to backup TA files)

If you are on stock you can try flashing it without wiping internal memory but it is recommended to wipe it as not wiping may end up with problems like some apps not working.

Good Luck! :good:

PS- I am also a newb, you can search again and verify this information though i think it os correct. :p
[Sony Xperia ZR] enfilade:
You can relock the bootloader if you have stock kernel

[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Yes move to SD is available in Lollipop ROM
[Sony Xperia ZR] manilenio:
4.3 has been very stable for me, and I've been using it for the longest time, unwilling to update to KK even. However, now, I'm thinking of updating to 5.1.1, but I keep hearing a voice in my head saying "if it ain't broke..." It's just that the lure of moving apps to SD is strong, especially since the ZR only has around 4.5GB of usable space. I'm also unwilling to lose my progress in some of my games, so I'd like to update but I don't want to wipe/reset to factory default. Which means the update might make my phone unstable and laggy. I'm just so torn about this.
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
A carefully planned upgrade with app data backup should be hassle free.
[Sony Xperia ZR] manilenio:
I've now updated to 5.1.1 (without wiping my data) and everything went through without a hitch! I'm liking it so far :). Sadly, it looks like this is the last update for my beloved ZR, as it probably won't get Marshmallow anymore.
[Sony Xperia ZR] huantong:
Yes, you can now move apps to sd.
[Sony Xperia ZR] blutbad:
yep, but this method still makes internal full because not all files moved to SD.

i recommend link2sd or foldermount

root required of course
[Sony Xperia ZR] manilenio:
Link2sd or foldermount works on lollipop? Thanks, I'll check.
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Dunno about link2sd but foldermount works flawlessly
[Sony Xperia ZR] blutbad:
yeah, link2sd works on both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1

already tested and using it.
[Sony Xperia ZR] manilenio:
Link2sd is love! Bought the pro version. Looks like I'm going to get more years out of my ZR yet.
[HTC Butterfly] Vern2765:
Okay...Edited post with build and software versions

Here goes.

I replaced the digitizer and screen on my HTC Butterfly x920d.

I did not close the antivirus, ESET NOD32, before I disassembled the phone. So, ESET locked me out of all phone activity. I can't open the SIM card utility, I can't reset the phone, I cannot enter the boot loader at all. All the phone does is loop with no access to the boot loader. I can't access the phone via ADB.

The driver is listed as ESET, not HTC.

When I try to access the boot loader by holding power and volume down, all that happens is a loop and no access to the boot loader. I have tried volume up and the command line access to ADB, but the result is nothing.

I removed the antivirus software to no avail... I am lost with a great phablet, facebook looks so good...

Android Version 4.3

HTC Sense version 5.5

HTC SDK API level 5.65

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calebu2:
Not a huge amount to report here but wanted to document this in case it was more than a random bum unit. If others have a similar issue worth documenting here.

Phone worked OK for first 48 hours. Then slowly the touchscreen started getting sluggish and eventually stopped responding all together. I thought at first I was having software/memory issues but wasn't the case. Other aspects of the phone work fine (buttons at bottom and on side, fingerprint reader). Resetting to factory settings did not fix issue. It's currently sat on the "Welcome!" screen waiting for me to hit "English" to continue.

So, returning to store tomorrow to get a replacement. Device is a 64Gb white T-Mobile Note5.

Other things I noticed with the device before it "died":

1) Fast charging was temperamental with some cables and chargers. I have spare fast chargers and it didn't work with the charger that came in the box.

2) Wireless charging only worked with half the charging pads I got. We bought a backup battery pack with built in wireless charger. This did not work (works on S6Edge and old Note3 with sview case).

Assuming your phone is already rooted and that the boot loader is unlocked, you should be able to use something like flashify to flash cwm or twrp successfully you can also do it through ODIN.

Alright, first off, look at which forum you're in. No, I'm not going to flame you for posting in the development forum, you got the Q&A part right:)

This is the Galaxy S 4G forum, NOT the Galaxy S4 forum. That's right, this is the T959V/T959W forum, not the i9500.

If I could help you, I would. However, I don't know much about about the Galaxy S4. Your best bet is to post in the in actual Galaxy S4 forum. When you do, its best to include as much detail as possible. "Installation aborted" is great, but usually there's more info.

Wikipedia has a nice comparison of Surface RT and Surface Pro models on the "Microsoft Surface" page, but long story short, there are no cellular variants of the Surface Pro. The ARM-based Surface RT line has cellular variants (for the second and third-generation models), but I don't think even those allow "ordinary" phone calls; AFAIK cellular connectivity is used for Internet (data) access only, much like with most other tablet devices.

[General Questions and Answers] B@rtvs98:
Alright so i dont own a g3 or whatever, but locked sims is everywhere the same. So what tis means is that the provider locked the phone to only allow sprint cards in this case, so NO other providers will work. It is not a software problem its just a lock implemented by sprint. To my knowledge it shouldnt be hardware related, so it should be fixed by flashing a custom rom i think. Just puttin that out there. Hope i helped/clearified

[General Questions and Answers] Android.Dev99:
Do you mean flashing something like CM 12.1 D855 (INTERNATIONAL) instead of ls990 ?
[General Questions and Answers] droid_god:
Perhaps no.

Plz flash only those roms which are only and soully for your device having same model number letter by letter.

Otherwise you would have a device of no use.

Be careful
[General Questions and Answers] Android.Dev99:
I searched and found that the sim card is CDMA because the other two are GSM and ask for unlock code when running with them, so is there any way to use this sim card and fix the invalid sim error ?
[General Questions and Answers] B@rtvs98:
Yeah something like that, doesn't have to be cm12 can be aosp too. Just go find the section of your phone and see what custom ROMs are available and look what appeals to you the most by looking through the thread and the op. Just don't quote me what you need or anything, I'm giving you some all around advice. I'm also not responsible for messing up your device you flash something on your own risk. If you got questions about a certain rom use the search feature first and if you cant find anything ask there.
