[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
I actually made a few updates to the TWRP in the folder, based on the contents of the log you posted (thanks!). If you or someone else could flash the "B3" version in the download folder and provide a log, I'd appreciate it. Also, if you can report whether the charging light works in recovery, and whether offmode-charging is working (i.e. power off the device, plug into charger, and you should see charging icon, followed by charging animation w/battery percentage + charging light).

Additionally, if while in recovery you can confirm that MTP is working for copying files to/from internal storage and SD card, confirm adb works ("adb devices" should be sufficient), and see if you can mount your external SD card as USB Storage from the mount menu. If I had the device, I could check all this myself, but since I don't, I'm hoping someone can provide feedback so that this TWRP can be fully functioning and made official.

Thanks!
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Absolutely - it's the least that I could do! We really appreciate your help with this - especially since you don't even own the device! Awesome of you to help us out like that! Will get back to you on the above questions ASAP.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Ok, everything worked, except:

1. No charge light while in recovery. Although, I don't get a charge light while in "Download" mode or "Bootloader" mode either...

2. Couldn't get USB mounting to work. It acted like it worked, but once I did that, I lost all access to recovery from the PC, even after unmounting USB mode. Had to reboot recovery to get MTP access back from PC.

Here is the recovery log - this hopefully has what you need to troubleshoot USB mount mode.

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Thanks for testing!

Charging light I suspected wouldn't work, which is no big deal. USB mounting is the same issue I'm facing on my A9 recovery, which I'm still trying to figure out. At this point, it's the best I can get it. If I figure out the fix on the A9, I'll apply it to the 626s as well. Thanks again for your help. So as long as you don't toggle MTP or try to mount USB storage, everything should be fine :p.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Honestly, those are VERY minor issues, in my opinion. No big deal at all.

Thank you VERY much for taking the time to get this working for us - I'm sure it will be a big help for everyone. Much appreciated!

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
You are in Download mode on the phone, correct?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Actually just licked the USB connection and USB storage bug on the A9, so I'll be building a new version for the 626s shortly that *hopefully* fixes it here too ;).
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowender62:
Yep. Everything seems right just not seeing it. Would Flashify work? Although that still would want to solve this issue at some point.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
"B4" is now in the download folder. This version should fix the USB connection problems when disabling MTP or enabling USB Storage. USB Storage (mounting external SD card as disk drive) *should* also now be working.

If someone can confirm that, I'd greatly appreciate it. If all that is working, then I will submit these updated files to the TWRP gerrit for inclusion in an official build.

I keep getting the error "error: cannot load 'twrp-2.8.7.0_CPTB-B4-a32e'.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
I still cannot get the USB Storage function to work... When I try, it looks like everything works - I get an 'F:' CD-Drive under "My Computer" and I get the little notification that I have an HTC Desire 6262s CD-Drive mounted, but when i try to go to the F: drive, it tells me that it can't access the drive.... Very strange.

Can someone else try it? Maybe its something with my specific PC setup or something...
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talksickisil:
Thanks for the great job getting twrp down the tree to us. I'm still on the second one you posted, but shortly I'll install the newest one. I already made a nandroid backup with this one. Not sure if I can help test USB since I don't have access to a computer. Once again I used the rashr app to flash the twrp recovery image. This works flawlessly for those of us who can't get to a computer. Or even if you just want to install a recovery on your phone without getting your computer and adb involved. Once again, thank you for making this recovery happen. There's much more hope for development now that it has came along

In case anybody hasn't tried.. Xposed still isn't working. The issue isn't recovery related. It's an issue with the phone itself I believe. Hopefully somebody will build us a rom and xposed works on that.. Who knows.. I'm sure it's possible
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Flashify will work, but I'm really curious as to what is causing your issue.

Have you tried rebooting your PC? Also, do you get the audible notification noises when connecting your phone to the PC?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
I know all about that issue. Is this on a Windows PC? I just realized I didn't test my A9 USB Storage on Windows, so it may have the same issue. It does, however, work on Ubuntu for me. It's also possible the 626s needs a different fix. But at least you can toggle on/off without losing connection now, right?

I'll look into it a bit more today, to see if I can figure it out. If not, I'll just disable the USB Storage option completely. But as you said before, this is a minor issue (and technically it's bonus since Android doesn't even support UMS anymore).
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Yes, it's a Windows 7 PC. As strange as it seems, even though I'm a Unix Admin professionally, I don't have a single Unix system at home (besides my FreeNAS server, which is a REALLY stripped down Linux server)! :)

Like you said, it's a VERY minor thing - you can always just take the SD card out of the phone and mount it on the PC that way if you need access to it! :) Or you can access it from the PC when Android is booted on the phone. Not a big deal that you can't access the SD card from a PC while in recovery...

Again, thank you so much for all of the work you put into this! The community is VERY thankful!
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You shouldn't have to take the card out to access it, unless MTP isn't working. You can disable/enable MTP and still access the card, right?

If you can't access the card AT ALL while in recovery, that's an issue.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
I'm sorry - you are 100% correct - I can still access the SD card via MTP while in recovery... Sorry for the confusion!

So really, what is the advantage of being able to access it via USB mode?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Read/write speeds are faster over UMS than MTP to the SD card, and you can edit files directly on the card in UMS versus MTP where you have to copy them to the PC first to change them. You can also perform multiple file operations simultaneously via UMS while with MTP you can only perform one at a time (subsequent operations have to wait until the current operation finishes).

I never actually said there was an advantage to it, though (but obviously, there are some). My interest in getting it working is because it's a feature that should work. That being said, please find "B5" in the downloads folder, which is my latest attempt to fix USB Storage. If this one doesn't work, I have one more possible solution. After that, I'm giving up :rolleyes:.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Ok, thank you - was just kinda curious what the reason was for the USB mode mounting vs. regular MTP access. Your post explains it perfectly.

Downloading the B5 version now - will report back ASAP!
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
SUCCESS!!! USB Mode access now works from recovery with the B5 version!

Great work, man! Thanks again!
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Fantastic. Submitting all the changes to the TWRP gerrit now. It may be a while before there's official support, but in the meantime, my version should hold you over :).
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowender62:
Yes I rebooted, re installed drivers etc. No I don't get any sound notifications. I was able to flash it with Flashify but still want to get this issue fixed. I am using the Minimal ADB Fastboot I got off of XDA, but it worked fine when I used it to root.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Sounds like some sort of driver issue on the PC. No idea what changed though... Maybe confirm the settings on your phone (USB debugging is enabled, etc)?

It's really strange that you don't get any audible notifications from the PC though - you should get those if there is a driver problem... Almsot like the USB port isn't functioning (on the phone or the PC). Maybe try a different USB port?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Could also be the cable . . .
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowender62:
Just tried again in different USB port and yes there was the sound when I connected my phone. Still not working though. I did put the B5 on via Flashify. I am not able to see my phone on my computer when in download mode.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
If in Download mode, you won't see anything with "adb devices". You should, however, see something with "fastboot devices".

You need to be in Android to see something with "adb devices".

See if "fastboot devices" returns anything while in Download mode...
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowender62:
Yep, see attached
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowender62:
Tried a different cable but I pretty sure it's something I'm doing wrong. I am new and learning. I did get TWRP on with flashify. Thanks for your work on this !!
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Ok, then it looks like things are working properly then.

What do you get when you issue the "fastboot flash recovery [recovery_filename]" command?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowender62:
See attached
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
It's because of the [space] in the filename. Either rename the .img file to a filename without a [space] in it or enclose the filename in quotes, like this:

fastboot flash recovery "twrp recovery.img"

Command prompt doesn't like [spaces]! :)

Missing OS

Hmm... Well, I had originally bricked the phone by installing a bad/incompatible xposed file during the discovery of the cyan root method. Patiently waiting has brought me to your wondrous twrp, [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]. :highfive: However, now the new dilemma I face is: "No OS found, do you still want to reboot?", after using the format/clear option to fully wipe the phone; thus ridding it of the bad xposed file. Among the options I picked to clear was Internal Storage. Was I not suppose to clear that, or ?

TL;DR

phone was bootlooped

installed twrp; wiped phone

now have "No OS" error.

phone is htc desire 626s

how to fix?

Thanks in advance. <3

Has anyone been able to pull certain things out of the rom.zip file? For example, if I extract the .zip files from the rom.zip file, most of them report that they are corrupt. Is there a secret to extract files? Just playing around...

Also - has anyone been able to apply the update via the OTA? I've tried reverting back to stock recovery and removing root, but the update still fails... Is this even possible? Was just trying to install the update without a complete re-install...
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
RUU is encrypted, so you can't just extract files from it.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
It was strange, I could open all of the .zip files with WInRAR and I could even extract some files from them - but other files would just say that the archive was corrupted. Couldn't view the zip files at all with Windows explorer.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuarasi:
Hello guys I've been lurking on the forums for a bit and finally decided to make an account haha

Big thanks to the devs!!

So now a question: I'm attempting to install the latest version of our rom that is available but of course I cannot install the OTA because I rooted and uninstalled the bloat and had a custom recovery before attempting to do all of this i reinstalled the stock recovery and full unrooted via the full unroot option in supersu.

So the other option to get the latest version would be to reinstall using the RUU from the HTC website I tried running the ruu.exe but it force closes after agreeing to the terms and conditions for some unknown reason

there is no error message just a force close.

So I decided to try to extract the rom.zip from the ruu.exe

I was able to extract the rom.zip from the ruu.exe that is on the HTC website

using the instructions

I wrote all the commands to the letter but I ended up with a strange error

C:\HTC626s\adb\adb>fastboot flash zip C:\HTC626s\adb\adb\stockrom\1\2\rom.zip
target reported max download size of 725000000 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi

I'm almost certain it does not have to do with an incomplete download or corruption and the android-info.txt is in the same folder as the rom.zip but for some reason every single time i try to push the rom.zip it keeps returning that error and my fastboot.exe stops working. It's very peculiar.

So now I'm wondering would it be possible for me to flash that rom.zip through TWRP?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingrbred:
Flashing through TWRP most likely won't work. You could try the same commands as before just add "-S 0k" to disable sparse limits. Or you could rename the zip file to 0PM9IMG.zip and put it on your SD card and reboot to download mode.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenMessiah:
That's normal for some reason lol but it's actually not corrupt.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuarasi:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayat55:
Hi, after me and my brother took our Note 4's EUROPEAN MODEL N910F to pakistan the note 4 kept switching itself off. When we got back to the UK the note 4 still kept switching itself off. They were both under warranty and 'GeekSquad' from Carphone Warehouse are certified by Samsung and after repairing it they said they replaced the screen???? But I can't seem to imagine that the screen caused the Note 4's to keep switching themselves off randomly.

I know that in pakistan it is DC - Direct Current whereas in the UK AC - Alternating Current is used. Also in pakistan we left our phones in the socket charging and when the electricity went and the generator was turned on, the phones were still plugged into the wall charger. Could this have caused an electrical surge and broke something inside the phone?? My note 4 was just about 6 months old and my brothers was 9 months old.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Yes that is a likely cause and that's why you should plug your electronics in a anti-surge socket when you travel abroad, using a transformer is useful because of the difference in current transfer in countries.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayat55:
Okay thanks! I just bought the note 5 :D

What if I took a portable charger with me and charged the portable charger (without anti-surge socket) and then charged my phone from the portable charger? Would that work and would that prevent it happening again?

So I was trying to get my Infuse to 2.3.6 but it was already rooted and I needed ClockWork Mod... I did things with Odin (it failed 3 times) and I was able to make it pass. Now, during the first restart it had the rainbow distortion thingy but it disappeared and went to the tutorial(?) right after. I restarted it and the rainbow distortion never happened. I sent it to recovery mode but it was that rainbow distortion again... I wasn't able to update it to the desired firmware (4.4.4) I wanted but it's 2.3.6 at the moment. After doing abit of research, it said that I needed to do something with the bootloaders but after checking XDA for any bootloaders, it was all gone (file not found etc..)

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoheld:
Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting a Z2 because they are pretty cheap now and I don't really see such a big benefit when looking at the Z3 or Z5.

I'm coming from a Nexus5 on which I stupidly broke the screen so I'm in need of something new.

I do however have a few worries about getting the Z2 maybe you can help me out.

1. Does unlocking and flashing custom roms break anything? I love custom roms or pure android so I really want to use it however I read somewhere that flashing custom roms loses some features on the z2. Does it worsen the camera due to drm not working?

2. Android M support was announced by sony however how long does it usually take them to roll out updates?

3. Does the Z2 have the same "screen cracking without force" issue as the Z3 seems to be plagued by?

4. Are there any really compelling reasons to get a Z3 instead of Z2? I read some reviews saying the screen is better but thats about it...

5. Does the Z2 support camera2.api?

Thanks a lot.
