[Droid X General] bloodstains:
Im a developer and really need something to test cordova apps with. According to their site they support 2.3 as well as 4.x and higher.

I have a DroidX and have spent a good amount of time the past few days trying to get it to something 4 or higher (due to 2.3 not working for my testing)

Maybe Im misunderstanding something but I thought that CM [cyanogenmod] would get me to Android 4.x so thats what i have been trying to load?!

but everytime I sbf down to 2.3.340 I get an error in bootloader (trying to do this to use CM ):

30,04 - Err:A5,70,70,00,1F - NEW_MEM BLANK

I can successfully get to 4.5.604 (and remove the error above) but than CM complains when trying to install it:

"assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0"

I can load Apex 2.0.0 RC4 (or other compatible [for .604] mods) but these seems to be Android 2.3

So

What is the highest version of Android I can get on my Droid X?

if CM is the answer, what am I doing wrong on the install? Why does it need 2.3.340, I thought only the hack for root access needed that version, not the mod itself?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cquilliam:
Looking for some creative answer here. This is my backup phone right now, but I'm trying to get it flashed back to stock. Here's the thing, I don't have a power button. Last year, I came across the issue of the phone turning on and off constantly, after a lot of research, it was determined to be caused by a faulty power button, so I took it off. To power my phone on, I take out the battery, put it back in, plug in a USB cable while pressing Vol Down and Home, and then select the boot normally.

Now, after trying to flash stock with ODIN, i'm stuck on the Samsung logo on bootup. After a bit of looking around, it seems the common resolution is to wipe cache factory reset in recovery. Unfortunately, while I can get into recovery and arrow down to the option, I can't select it due to the lack of power button.

So, is there any way with adb or fastboot that I can do the factory reset or whatever? Or is there any other options?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Maybe flash twrp and use that to wipe.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaminel:
Hello everyone! It's been a month or so since I got a new LG G4 and I've been wanting to root it since the but I don't want to void the warranty yet, so I have a few questions about this. This isn't my first phone to root, but I need some info on this one.

1. What's the difference between *Low Effort Root**and *Bootloader Unlock and Root*?

2. The low effort root can save me from voiding my warranty? Note: I'm from Romania and my LGH815 is a Romanian model too.

3. If those are not the only ways to root it, is there any way of rooting and not voiding the warranty?

4. If question 2 or 3 has a positive answer, can I still get official updates from LG or do I need to download and flash them then root again?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
You can use low effort and whenever you want to you can flash back to stock, unroot and make it look to LG (or to whoever might have given you a warranty) as if you never altered anything.

You never think about taking an ota while rooted but updating manually ("low effort" with newest firmware version, for example marcosuper7) is unproblematic. Ok?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaminel:
I agree with the manual update, but as far as I know, there are some things that show that I've been changing or altering the software on the phone, some code, I don't really know.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusu84:
1. low effort only roots and do not touch the bootloader... with bootloader unlock your warranty is void.

2. yes (if you restore to stock with lg flash tool before.)

3. no other way to root till now.

4. no. you have to flash official updates with lg flash tool and root again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaminel:
Thank you very much!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusu84:
i edited my post... low effort save you from voiding your warranty if you go back to stock after root with lg flash tool ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaminel:
Understood. But what's the difference between those 2? Besides "touching" the bootloader. Any advantage on any of them or disadvantage?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusu84:
with an unlocked bootloader you can install twrp and then you can flash something for example custom roms.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaminel:
Could I use FlashFire instead, without an unlocked bootloader?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusu84:
as long as its a stock based rom then yes but without an unlocked bootloader not for custom roms.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaminel:
I would use it to flash mods. Thank you very much for your help!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laban:
Great informative thread! A few Q's if its OK?

1. So with Low Effort Root I can use Xposed and all the modules, remove bloatware and if something goes wrong I can just us the LG tool for restoring?

2. When an OTA is released I will loose root, or I won't even be able to install OTAs?

3. I really want to change the colours if the notification quick toggles, that should be able to do with Xposed, right?

4. Are all G4 updates available viua the LG tool, don't want to use old firmwares just because I'm rooted?

5. After rooting and changing what I want to change can I then remove root to make the phone more secure and not as "open" and potentially vulnerable?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
1. yes

2./4. you never try to take an ota on a rooted g4. You flash through flashtool or push a rooted image when it's available, a couple of days after official release at max.

3. yes

5. most of the advantages of root are lost once you unroot. The only one you don't lose (that i can think of) is that you're still as debloated as before unrooting.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laban:
Thank you!

But changes like the one mentioned in (3) will still be there after I remove root?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rick09:
I'm pretty sure Xposed or any associated modules won't work, or won't work properly if you un-root. Why are you so worried about leaving your phone rooted?

Sent from my VS986
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laban:
Not sure I'm that worried, but I know that some apps won't start on a rooted device. But I remember something about an app that hides the fact that the phone is rooted, does that exist?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mike.danny:
Few weeks ago I had to return my Optimus G Pro E988 for warranty :crying:, but not before I've made backups with the LG backup app and PC Suite.

Unfortunately they couldn't repair or replace it so I was given the option to completely refund it to buy a new device. So I've moved on to a G4 :victory:.

Reading some post on this forum I've found out that is possible to restore the LG Backup on a different LG device so I've tried it, but with partial success, because some apps where not restored and others were restored without data.

The problem is that on the G Pro I had some important data which wasn't restored on the G4. I've asked LG support if there is a way to open that backup file and they said that, without the original device on which the backup was made, they can't help me because of the difference in android version. :mad:

Does anyone know if is possible to open or extract the contents of the *.lbf backup file made by LG Backup app or from the backup made with the LG PC Suite?

Another possibility would be to restore this backup to a simulated device with the same android version. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thank you in advance for any reply!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azrahel:
A few days ago I have ordered and then replaced the LCD of my Zenfone 2. Sending it back to repair the display was as expensive as buying a new phone, so I decided to take the risk. I followed the instructions I found on the internet and I succeded. Both touch and display work after replacement, and all other components work too, except for camera functions. Now when I open any camera app (Google Camera, Zenfone Pixelmaster camera and so on) I get the infamous "camera failed to launch, please reboot your device". After cleaning up both application cache and system cache (I have even tried flashing an older firmware version) I decided to check both the flat cables connecting the front camera and rear camera to the phone's motherboard, with no success.

Any clue about how to proceed ?

Any chance that trying a different ROM (such as Cyanogen) might fix my problem ?

I have read that many users are experiencing that nefarious camera message, however I haven't found any effective solution so far, and without a clue I can't figure out if one of the two cameras is broken or damaged...

Suggestions ?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day

Azrahel

UPDATE 1: installed CM 12.1 following tutorial. Everything working except for camera. Tried both Google stock camera app and A Better Camera (free trial). Google stock says "cannot connect to camera" A Better camera shows a black background and does nothing else...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azrahel:
UPDATE 2

I just received a spare Zenfone 2 from another guy that, after breaking the screen, decided to sell it for spare parts instead of repairing it.

I have turned it on as soon as it arrived via mail and..guess what ? Camera issue is there too!

I have tried the following:

1) swap both camera modules and motherboard to my Zenfone 2

2) vice versa (put my camera modules on the newly received motherboard)

3) hard reset and reload all system images on both phones.

Issue is still unsolved. I'm starting to think that the camera problem is a "sort of anti tampering" implemented by Asus.

As soon as you unscrew the phone, something breaks - or at least detects the tampering - blocking the camera.

There's no other way to explain...

Any suggestion ? Did anyone effectively solved the problem ?

Please, don't leave me alone in this thread..

ZENFONE 2: camera failed to launch

Dear Azrahel

My Zenfone 2 phone exactly encountered the same problem, probably because of a software update/installation and so on. I simply rebooted the phone into the SAFE MODE (simply long press the power button then LONG TAP the shutdown then confirm the reboot into the safe mode). In the safe mode I found that the camera works normally. Then I simply rebooted the phone (in order to enter the normal environment) and now the camera works! I hope that you can fix the bug by this simple process. :) :) :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canuck_weber:
Did you find a solution for this? I'm encountering the same issue after I replaced the display. The connectors seem to be in well. Maybe I broke something small internally without even knowing and that causes both cameras not to function.

What do you mean you have lost your IMEI number? What is the specific error you are getting? Not registered on network usually has to do with your SIM or ICCID.

Hi!

Take a look at this link: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=736

Does anyone know something more or have some other rumors to share about this new phone. To me it looks amazing, I'd definitely would like the numeric keypad for easy dialing, smartdial lookup and writing text messages with T9.

And with integrated FM tuner, GPS and a fast CPU this could be an awesome device.

On most AMOLED screens, a black pixel does not use energy. (And in other screen types, it uses less energy)

Using this app, you can display a checkered pixel mesh over your screen. While able to still view the screen and it's contents, your device is using less energy, due to all the black pixels being displayed.

This app can also dim the screen at a specified battery threshold, even while the mesh is displayed, to save further on battery.

The screen is completely readable, and usable, while the pixel mesh is displayed.

Features in premium version:

-No ads!

-Hide notification icon

-Fixes package installer problems while pixel mesh is displayed

-Show filter automatically at specified battery threshold

-Option to show pixel filter only under specified battery threshold

1.0.0 - Many bug fixes

FAQ

Q: This app isn't saving a lot of power on my phone model!

A: This app is compatible with AMOLED screens. Non-AMOLED screens may still notice SOME improvement. Please do not rate 1-star, it is not in my power to fix that.

Q: Battery stats are showing this app using a lot of energy!

A: Actually, it just thinks that because my app is displaying something onto your screen very often. But what it displays onto your screen actually SAVES energy!

Q: I can't install apps when the pixel filter is displayed!

A: This is due to security within Android. However, a fix is present in the PRO version. In the FREE version, you can just turn off the filter before installing an app.

Q: This app doesn't work!

A: Send me an email. Please do not leave one-star, I will fix it

So today i installed a new ROM (OneOfAKind) but i have a problem with SMS instead of 160 i have a limit of 70 characters (Greek Alphabet) now the fact is that on Stock Rom i had found the solution=(Go to "/data/data/com.sonyericsson.conversations/shared_prefs" find the file "com.sonyericsson.conversations_preferences.xml". Open the file and add the following line before "</map>":

<boolean name="semc_pref_key_character_conversion_visibility" value="true">)

and it worked.

Now that i no longer have the stock app and i am using either the ROMs recommended app called "Messaging" or "Google-Messenger" and lastly "Textra" i can no longer find a solution. If someone give me a solution that doesn't include trying another application(cause i have already tried GO Sms and so on) i would very much appreciate the assistance.

Xperia Z3 won't boot to recovery; boots normally instead

Hi,

So I recently rooted my device using this guide and updated to lollipop using the links inside. However, I realized I didn't update to the latest version (5.0.2 instead of 5.1.1). So I decided to do that, when I realized I couldn't boot into recovery. Whenever I tried, the device would turn off instead. I downloaded Quick Boot, and when I hit to recovery, it instead just boots up as if it was just a normal restart.

Hi Guys,

I've recently installed an xtrons unit. I'm looking to make a few changed but I can't see any mods that are suited to the firmware it's running?

I'm happy with the firmware it's running as its pre rooted 4.4.4 but there's a few things i'm hoping a different firmware can address (or maybe someone here has some other suggestions) So far I've side loaded google play and installed all the apps I wanted (poweramp, google maps, mail etc) I've got the nav key configured to run google maps no problem there but I'd like to control poweramp from my swc keys. (i've tried ownice's rk3188 just to check but it obviously didn't work) The default bluetooth handling app is a bit crap is there a way to change the handler? I'm pretty happy with everything else so if i can avoid changing the rom I will but it doesn't bother me if doing it will solve my issues. I've looked for an alternative rom on here but the unit is GS and I cannot find a 4.4.4 gs quad core rom to suit it? I'm new so I can't post links yet but I can provide any info needed from the hu!
