[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
7.2.1.2 was the version that came out in July. I know 7.2.2 worked fine as it appears my backups started failing after October 11, 2015 which means either 7.2.3 or 7.2.4 broke it as I manually update apps on Google Play Store so I could still have been using 7.2.2 on October 11, 2015. One thing I noticed is on both the G4 and my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD, both Verizon Wireless that if the phone starts rebooting on it's own, one just needs to boot to safe mode, uninstall and reinstall Titanium Backup and it'll fix it. Anyways, this is what happens:

1) I delete all existing backups for a app

2) I then click on backup and it backs up showing the yellow happy face on the right hand side of Titanium Backup for the app with the timestamp of 10/19/2015 at 4:08AM as I did one now just to reproduce this. I click on the app's name and it shows the backup. I click on the backup and Backup Properties shows:

Backup made of phone/ROM:

Backup properties:

Has app: (checkmark) YES (codec = GZIP)

Has data: (checkmark) YES (codec = GZIP)

Has External Date: (X) NO

3) I reload Titanium Backup:Instead of the yellow happy face for the app, there is a checkmark in a circle on the right hand side of Titanium Backup for the app. I click on the app's name and the backup of 10/19/2015 at 4:08AM shows a check with a circle with a ? next to it. I noticed that the

Backup properties:

Total size: 4.55kB

Has app: (X) NO

Has data: 4 (checkmark) YES (codec = GZIP)

Has External Date: (X) NO

I look in /storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup with Root Explorer and it shows three files:

appname-datestamp.properties - 4.32K

appname-datestamp.tar.gz - 131 Bytes

appname-*.apk.gz - 19.55K

I just hope it isn't the 200GB MicroSD Card failing. As what is weird is that the newest backup that I made will disappear and I will get back the backup I deleted. What is more weird is that the directory /storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup no longer exists as it is known as /storage/external_SD/TitaniumBackup once again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikku13:
If you suspect the sdcard is the cause, have you had confirm it with another working sdcard? (Could it be its fake or faulty?) Fake and faulty card can cause data to dissapear even after "successfully" written.

And have you had confirm it with older TiBa? If TiBa is really the cause its better to send it to the developer as I cannot reproduce it with my older TiBa
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
It's not a fake card as it's from Best Buy and it's a 200GB card except these are made in China so there can always be failure as just like hard drives, some are more faulty than others depending on your luck. This is the card I have which has been used for 2 months:

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-200GB-Micro-SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A/dp/B00V62XBQQ

I already tried going back to 7.2.2 with getting the apk from apkmirrors.com and the problem still happens so it could be the card. I don't have another 200GB card but what I'm going to do is backup the card and reformat the card except I don't know what filesystem the phone formats the card in as the card was already formatted as exFat.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikku13:
Its too bad if the card is failing especially since its new and pricey. I guess it will be formatted to exFAT. Better format it in Windows (I ever heard formatting inside the device cannot fix the card while formatting from Windows able to fix it). Its better to check throughly unless it still under warranty and get replacement.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Seems like it's the card as I tried:

E:\sd-card>xcopy G:\*.* /S /E /V

what happens is it will copy the files and then when it gets to a certain file in the Titanium Backup folder, the card seems to disappear from the computer so I'm trying to see how else I can backup the contents of the card. It has a 10 year warranty, just wonder what is the warranty procedure and I wonder can they do a advance replacement as it's possible for hard drives.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikku13:
Why dont you try copy using MTP with explorer with the card inside the device? Or use Total Commander with ADB plugin? Via FTP (through ES file explorer's remote manager)? Maybe a partition backup program that can do sector-by-sector backup?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
I think the problem with all the mentioned methods except the last one is it will not copy some stuff correctly which was the reason for the xcopy as mentioned here:

https://scootercomputers.wordpress....b-micro-sd-card-to-a-new-64-gb-micro-sd-card/

I can use HDDRawCopy but the thing is it will copy to a destination of the same size as the original so if I got a 512GB card for example, it will not work as there is no way to resize a exfat partition it seems, at least with Minitool Partition Wizard, it doesn't even know what the filesystem is. I deleted the file in Titanium Backup which is a backup of a game that was 600+ MB in size and I was able to xcopy the entire card as that file seems to be where XCopy will unmount and where surface scan in Minitool Partition Wizard will choke and somehow the MicroSD Card is no longer seen at that point as it thinks the card has a size of 0 at that point. HDDRawCopy choked on the same file as well and then the entire MicroSD card got unmounted.

What I noticed was weird is that the card has a 16MB unallocated space at the beginning and the rest was the 196GB, I wonder what is the 16MB for and why isn't everything just one partition?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikku13:
Well as I know xcopy will do recursive copy. And about cloning explained in that blog, of course its different matter. If you starting from zero, copying is enough for data but maybe not the apps and apps's data (and boot record for HDD), and maybe if you enabled encryption. And you need to restore from TiBa. But if you dont want to reset, clone might be the best and its faster to restore than copy-paste. I dont know apps that actually must need the same sector-by-sector with previous card unless maybe its encypted, cause I still use the same card and everything restored back through TiBa after factory reset. In this case all data are written back with (possibly) different memory block (logically with different card it shouldnt matter too).

Maybe its for cache? maybe all pre-formatted sdcard for android have that partition for optimization. I had formatted my card once, to FAT32 and lost that partition, it seems my battery drained so fast (perhaps also because of scanning n rebuilding media). Even after I format to exFAT my battery life never go back to as before. Maybe its just my bad instuition
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Not sure what xcopy can do that the standard select and drop into folder cannot do as xcopy doesn't copy sector to sector either, maybe it's just the permissions of each file but I thought the standard drag and copy does the same thing? Clone didn't work as once it reaches that same file or sector, the microsd card would disappear from the system acting as if the card had 0 bytes for capacity. Same thing when I do a surface scan to test the drive, it seems only it hits that, the card gets unmounted and it thinks the entire card from that part on is all bad sectors.... it went from 800MB/sec to 11000MB/sec at that point. I thought unless you repartition the card, you will not lose that partition since format will only format the same space as before so you will still have the 16MB partition as before. It can't be used for cache either as it's a unallocated partition which means it's not even used or partitioned. I wonder how long does it take to format a 200GB card because it seems since my last response when I started the format, it has not really gotten much further yet, only moved a little.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikku13:
Have you tried to see the partitions in Linux. Maybe its due to unsupported filesystem in windows. Maybe it takes a while especially if its not quick format. And if the card is broken, after a while it will say failed to format and leave the card kinda useless. I used to have two 8 GB sdcard (sandisk too) broken after 2 mo, it was like read only, and then failed to format. It happened twice with the same symptom and eventually i think i blamed the phone (bb pearl) and swore never use that phone again LOL.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Haven't tried Linux yet, exfat is a Microsoft proprietary filesystem so it's supported, just that these partition utilities don't support it or something. I went to sleep and Windows reports that it was unable to complete the format so it looks like the card is bad, good thing I got all my data off after deleting the 3 files for the backup of the 650+MB game in the Titanium Backup folder. The 200GB card is so new that it probably has it's share of problems as it hasn't been used widely yet and always one of the things of getting the latest and greatest. I was wondering why the card was 200GB instead of 256GB since cards usually doubles in size from the previous capacity (1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB), the card really is 256GB but only 200GB is usable as 56GB is used for buffering and other things according to the answer here:

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-SanDisks-famous-SD-card-200GB-and-not-256-or-another-multiple-of-8
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikku13:
I know that exfat is ms proprietary, but what about that unallocated? Really unallocated or else?

Anyway, so its confirmed that the card is the culprit here and not by apps. Hope you get the replacement soon. Its too bad its broken already. I was thinking to upgrade my sdcard (I got 64 gb free from lg g4 promo), but maybe I'll postpone since I'm afraid hIgher and newly created capacity can be prone to error and fail (maybe luck factor to get bad card also involved).

Hello,

My phone is not charging all of sudden and I have no idea what to do.

Yesterday I was using my phone normally until the battery drained. This morning when I tried to charge it I noticed that it is not working properly. No red led, no charging. I'm getting reboots and some pop up messages with "power sharing" message.

What could be the issue and how can I fix it in order to charge it and flash a new software? I have to add that the phone was rooted and heavily customized through xposed modules which I'm sure got me to this point.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA Visitor:
Hi, i have installed a recovery and flashed my phone Xperia SP C5302 and after few days i found out my battery was having problems . I bought a new battery and replaced it and before i turned it on i forgot to insert the memory card where the custom rom (cyanogenmod 12) was installed ,i turned it on and the device would turn on but i can't seem to see anything else apart from the screen glowing but its black i pressed the volume button the sounds were playing,so it must be the display problem or my mistake by not inserting the memory card and trying to power it on. If its the problem by not inserting the memory card would be glad if you guys can help.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist! :cowboy:

If your CM12 was reliant on a partition in external storage, the ROM wouldn't get very far. I think what really happened that the display connector got nudged during the reassembly (I see that the battery is a non-removable one, so some teardown must have happened).

At any rate, am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found in:

Greetings,

This thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/att-firmware-d-850pr-t2885095 explains the process to flash a D850 rom on a D850PR phone (D850PR is the G3 variant for Puerto Rico).

Is possible to do the reverse process (flash a D850PR rom on a D850 smartphone)? And, if yes, how?

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedirkalater:
I rooted with towel root NC2 and safe strap and was using some roms like firekat and firenote but they didnt change the kernel. Recently I downloaded one of the lollipop alliance roms and installed on the stock slot and it changed my kernel to OC1. Now safe strap doesn't work and I want to go back to where I was before. I wouldn't mind going to a lollipop rom that is rooted. Or just plain stock rom that is rooted. I need help since there is so many different tutorials and methods and things to download. I'm newer on the rooting and such, so any help is appreciated. I am able to use the phone still it just doesn't cycle thru safe strap on the boot like it did before and sometimes it won't even boot up it just freezes and I have to factory reset to get it back. So I quit restarting. I'm limping on one leg so to speak. I assume I have installed something wrong and I just want guidance towards something rooted and stockish. Link me a tutorial or something or just give it to me straight. I have better than average skills in this but I mainly follow guides of some kind. So keep it as simple as possible. Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam.stalker1608:
Safestrap doesn't work with kernels newer than NC2, so in order for safestrap to work, you can do either of the following things-

1. The simpler way (do this if after getting safestrap to work again, you want to install a pre-rooted stock OC1 ROM) : Install the apk NC2flasher. It'll flash the NC2 kernel and then when you reboot, you'll get access to safestrap once again. Download it from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3452253&d=1440595672. Before installing the apk, download the pre-rooted OC1 stock rom from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934549604 and place it on your device storage/extSD card. After rebooting into safestrap, factory reset and flash the zip and you're good to go!

2. The more intensive way (do this if you want to rollback to NC2 stock completely):

Download odin from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

Download the stock odin flashable NC2 files from here: https://mega.nz/#F!wg5wRQrQ!vR7a6pze9dgSWjbaRSyhWA

Warning: These are data_wipe tars, so take complete backup since the internal memory of the device will be erased completely (backup to PC/cloud/extSD card)

Put your phone in the download mode; it can be done through pressing the volume down and home button simultaneously while powering up the phone.

You'll notice that the 2 starting characters of the files (BL,AP,CP and CSC) are the same as the options found in Odin. Keeping the default checkboxes on the left side as they are, load the files in Odin as they match with their downloaded counterparts (ie. BL in BL, CP in CP, CSC in CSC and AP in AP) and flash it.

You're done!

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esackbauer:
It can be software branded and/or physically branded by the network. Software branded means they've customised the software (things like network logo shown as start-up, custom themes in the network's colours, applications linked to the provider etc). Physical branding means it has the network's logo on the handset. Branded phones will usually come in packaging that's covered in the networks branding.

Some brandings will get software updates later than stock ROMs
