[Moto X Q&A] neo4uo:
I recently purchased a Verizon Moto X Developer edition. It was on stock 4.4.4 and was unlocked. I mfastboot flashed the stock leak 5.1 for Verizon. The thing is that I do not get cell service. When I go to APN there is the same one listed a bunch of times. I cannot delete an of them. I think tried different things and got frustrated and mfastboot flashed all the files back to 4.4.4. Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions. Maybe I should not flash the modem files when I upgrade haven't tried that yet.

Ended up flashing everything but the modem and then input the APN which was one variable I got off my wife's phone and it fixed it.

Thanks

My Hisense Sero 8 Pro recently updated, the update failed and now it shows the broken android with 'No Command', I looked online and everything seems to point towards recovery mode, the thing is though the Sero 8 Pro does not have any volume keys they are software side, it does however have a small pinhole which i assume is a reset button but i tried poking/pressing/holding it with and without the power button being held down, trying those routes, i tried looking for alternate ways to get into recovery mode and found using ADB works also, tried that to no avail as the commands seemed not to affect the device, this was made harder as the device was only detectable by ADB for 5 seconds during boot up, I also tried using ADB Hard Reset but found out that my device is rooted which was strange as all my attempts to try to root the device failed, according to root checkers.

So now I'm asking Online for some help, quick recap;

- Hisense Sero 8

- No Volume Key

- Pinhole Reset button?

- 'No Command' Screen

- Failed Software Update

- Rooted (Apparently)

If anyone wants a challenge i think i just proposed one.
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Interesting challenge! ;) But I gotta admit, I think the update failed because the device is (or at least partially, due to attempts) rooted.

So, getting "No Command" usually means you are in the front room of recovery. There must have been a kernel panic while booting system. Some systems, to get past that, one would quickly toggle the volume buttons. Since you don't have that advantage, you may want to try this instead:

If you have adb, for even five seconds, run this command:

adb reboot recovery

Maybe you'll get in the back room this way. You could also try:

adb reboot bootloader

...to get into fastboot mode instead.

From there, you'll need to flash a stock image. Where to find one of those, I don't know. You may have to contact the vendor for one (or skip a lot of steps and take it in for warranty work).

As for the "pinhole reset button", I wonder if that was the mic hole? :p

At any rate, I am going to share couple threads where you can ask questions later (once you have registered for an XDA account):

Thanks for the welcoming and Advice, sadly i have already tried using ADB to try and get into recovery and bootloader but when i ran the commands it picked up the device but did nothing, i believe a couple of times it restarted but still went to the 'no command' screen.

I shall keep trying though!

My Problem is, when i start the camera ive get a black screen.

If i make a hard reset, and after i make all settings, the camera ist working fine!

After some minutes, i dont know why, the phone is making an automatical restart. Then the camera dosnt work anymore. If i use apps like instagram or else, the camera works.

I have the problem with the firmware 32.0.A.4.11 and now with 32.0.A.5.32

It sucks. :)

Can someone help me? Any solutions?

I am using Oddesey Mobile and a bluetooth GPS but it loses connection at random times like when I lose phone signal especially if I have beam turned off. Never had a problem with my Wizard set up the same way though. Any thoughts ??? Set to com port 6 under Nav software and external GPS.cpl, not a secure port. Bauld rate at 34400. Could it be a problem relating to the WIFI issue with pages not loading in the browser even though you are connected or something similar?? Any help would be much appreciated.
[LG Optimus L90] Thesscan:
Hello,

after weeks of research and trying I'm here to share with you my problem.

Before some weeks I tried to unlock the bootloader of my lg l90, I got an error message and then it died, or that I thought.

The phone has no download mode, recovery, anything, it has just a black screen. Searching the web I found lot of people having the same problem as me, although none of the solutions I found online was able to fix my device. As some other people have the same problem it would be good if we could fix it.

What I've got:

Black screen lg l90 d405n

windows pc

ubuntu pc

image & verinfo folders if I connect my phone to a windows pc

all partitions of the phone when I connect it on a ubuntu pc

What I've tried:

Lg flash tool (and official kdz )

pushing aboot (and some other files) through terminal

b2b

Having a solution (or an idea of solution) please share it below :D

[Verizon LG G3] CatchThaBeat:
I am currently running the 24b stock rooted and would like to get TWRP installed. I understand I need to downgrade, however what is the easiest way to do so? Do I need to go all the way back to 10c stock? Then root, install recovery and update radio etc? Or can I simply downgrade to 23c?

My goal is to run the newest Skydragon and 35b bootstack by xdabbeb to have HD calling.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You don't need to downgrade. Look for the 24B specific version of the autorec TWRP app on the General section of the non-variant specific LG G3 sections.

The first time you run it after you give it SuperUser permissions, it'll take 10 or 30 seconds while it makes a backup of your stock recovery, then you can push the button on the app for it to install TWRP and it'll tell you when it's installed.

Then from that TWRP, flash the latest TWRP version zip or img.

Samsung's Ultra Power Saving Mode changes the color scheme of your device to greyscale, which I loved very much. Is there any way I can change my color theme to grey scale?

[Other Tools & General Discussion] JosepCoronado:
Hello everyone,

First off, I have to say that I am not a programmer nor do I have any knowledge about app developing. I am more of an entrepeneur looking for someone who can tell me if my ideas for a new app are impossible to put into reality or not. Also, I don't know if I'm posting this thread on the appropiate section (I just registered a new account just to ask you guys this question), so, if it is not where it has to be, please feel free to report it to the admins so they can move it to the appropiate section. Thank you.

So my question is: Is there any way to "link" my app to WhatsApp? In other words: Is it possible, for example, to make my app "block" some of the user's WhatsApp groups or chats? (that means, forbiding the user from sending any messages to that specific group or chat). Of course, it has to be with his permission and during a specific period of time (which the user would select from the app) or until he unblocks the group/chat in question (also from the app).

Or, for example, is there any way to "block" the phone's microphone when the user is using WhatsApp (thus forbiding the user from sending voice notes), or the camera (not able to send photos/videos), for the same matter? This, of course, with the user's permission and the same conditions as before, too.

I do know that it's possible to make an app block phone calls or text messages, but I want to know if it is possible for an app to block some WhatsApp functions or, why not, Facebook and other apps' functions.

Thank you in advance for your time! :)

You could just use Odin to go back to stock, always worked for me. The only reason I could think that you could have problems is that you have a custom rom already that changes your build and model.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex vulture:
If you need to install stock rom you need to make sure build number is N900AUCUCNC2 and then use odin to install .

If you need to install root rom install Towelroot from play store and make sure wifi or data network is on during root then install SuperSU

BusyBox (open BusyBox and install from inside ), "Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03" recovery from fourm put your prerooted rom in sd card open Safestrap and boot to recovery you will be able to install rooted rom from there .

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaultboy101:
Ok guys, There are some threads with that same issue here, but none of them really have any kind of solution. My z2's rear camera stopped working out of nothing, no idea why. I did try to reset to factory config, and tried repairing the phone using that PC companon tool, but none of them helped. Im running on 5.1.1 Android, which is the latest version, and it is not rooted, the bootloader is locked, the phone is all "official", if that's the word for it. That phone already had this problem before, and I had it repaired at a technical support, they had the camera replaced, and it was fine. But 4 to 5 days after the repair, the camera started failing again. Anyone has any idea on what could be causing that issue? And how to solve it? Will I need to have the camera replaced again?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaidome:
Hello guys, I have a HiSense U970 with the MT6589 chipset which got hard bricked a week ago. The phone is running a stock 4.2.1 JB and rooted. The problem is that whenever I try to flash anything using SP Flash Tool it shows this error:

BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)

[EMI] Enable DRAM failed

I am hopeful the phone isn't totally dead since it can be:

- Detected by the computer WITHOUT the battery while holding vol down

- In Device Manager, it would show MTK USB Port (ComX) under Ports when vol down is held.

This is what happens now:

- Charging does not do anything.

- Cannot boot into recovery

- Cannot be detected by MTK Droid Tools (but I think this app needs a powered up phone to be detected by its system)

- Cannot flash anything using SPFT v3.1320.0.174 and v5.1524.00

I have searched the internet for fixes and solutions but, everything that I have found leads to that error.

Here was what I had done before the problem arose.

- Installed Preloader driver

- Used the latest version of SPFT

- Formatted whole flash except bootloader as I cannot flash the cwm rom found here without formatting

- Flashed ONLY the recovery and then downloaded it.

Green circle appears and after that, it cannot boot anymore. Cannot charge. Cannot boot into recovery.

I have tried the following with no luck:

- Used SPFT v5.1524.00 and v3.1320.0.174

- Flashing only the preloader

- Flashing only the recovery

- Format whole flash

- Formatting whole flash except bootloader

- Format all + download (v5)

- Firmware upgrade + upgrade (v3)

- Using the write memory method for writing preloader

- Flashing stock preloader

- Doing a memory test

All of which goes to the error 4032.

I have also tried using different USB ports with the same results.

If it helps, I used the scatter file for MT6589 and not my own scatter file. Using my own scatter file does not do anything before I flashed the recovery rom so, I used the MT6589 scatter file instead. Also, my scatter file was different from the MT6589.

- This was the scatter file I used.

- And this is my log from MTK Droid Tools which hopefully contains the addresses for the scatter file (I accidentally replaced my own [yea i know, stupid me])

I also cannot find the same scatter file that I had created anywhere on the internet.

I am willing to supply you with anything as long as I have access to it (hoping I have the file/information you need:fingers-crossed:).

I am hoping that you know or at least the very least, can guide me out of mine and others misery. Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

I have been coming to this site for a very long time, was a huge CM user back when I had the HTC G2. I hope I posted this in the right section, as I havent really made my own posts before here, so if not im truly sorry and hope it can be placed in the right section without punishment :).

Now Ive done a alot of searching here about this device and unless im doing something wrong, I cant seem to find much at all on it. It was released april of this year I guess, but I just recently aquired one, which comes with stock 4.4.4 (KitKat). I have rooted this device successfully, but I am unable to find any custom recovery (unsure if CWM or TWRP will work, a little nervous about trying to install and mess the device up lol) that would work on this device, much less any custom roms or anything at all on XDA. I'm actually suprised that there isn't a Thread dedicated to this device as its actually very nice.

So anyway, I was just hoping maybe someone involved with development on this site could possibly look into this device and maybe this device could get some attention and maybe some community support so some custom stuff could start coming out for it? Its a nice device and would love to see it have its own section here at XDA, thats all :).

Anyway, sorry to bore everyone with this thread, just trying to bring the Alcatel Onetouch Pop Astro to the light here is all.

A3FUMF0 is known to block root. Tried using Kingroot a couple of times with different versions, didn't work for me.

Yes, you need to downgrade, but the only way that I know of (I also created an article of this) is flashing a factory image to the phone directly. Just keep in mind of this before flashing because it is hard to recover if you don't do this and you will have a bricked phone as an outcome:

Okay, I did everything that was said and now I am on A3CUMC1 4.4.4 and I tried Kingroot and I think it worked...

[MENTION=7028246]Madoxv[/MENTION]:

1. The easy way without installing anything: in settings ..apps ..all you can freeze apps, you don't use. Delete their data, too. Use xda-search-function to get a list of freezable apps.

2. More effective is to root your phone and flash a lite ROM. But before you do this, read. Otherwise you probably make a brick. Search-function again:

'How to root S3' and 'How to flash ROM S3'.

If you want full support for camera, wifi and sensors, use a ROM, based on firmware (Touchwiz). CyanogenMod or AOSP-ROMs don't.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdubl:
Regardless of device encryption and fingerprint scanners and the like, couldn't someone just get your phone, boot into recovery, and factory reset it? Wouldn't that undo any security you had on device?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] km8j:
Yes but the actual files have been encrypted. So while they can start the device fresh and use file recovery tools to "get" the old files, they are useless.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdubl:
And they would be useless to everyone after that, even you? I guess that would be pretty good. So you encrypt to protect your user data, and you fingerprint lock to make sure nobody can ever decrypt, even if they factory reset thru recovery, which will get past your fingerprint scanner but not previous encryption. That right?
