I have a Moto X Pure with a dead touchscreen (kids dropped my phone in bathtub). Fortunately, I have Motorola Accidental damage protection. But now I have this weird problem where I can't run a nandroid backup from my old phone, to restore to my new replacement phone.

Does anybody have any ideas on how I can run a nandroid backup (through TWRP) without a working touchscreen? Or, does anybody know of a working recovery (such as CWM) on the Moto X Pure that doesn't require a touchscreen?

Hi all,

Just a quick question - does anyone know of any Australian X7501 vendors?

Or should I give up looking here and just track one down on eBay? ;)

Thanks!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] b0yb0y:
Yeah it is better to give up.. get on ebay.. or asking a friend to bring u one from oversea..

i think australia will have to some time iwht iphone of even later

Cool, thanks. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
The reason was that HTC has not plan of bringing it to Australia/New Zealand.

I had an email asking them exactly this question way back in March/April. They said that Telcos there wanted to charge them an arm and leg for "testing fee", which HTC absolutely refused to pay. That was one of the key reasons for not bringing it in. I don't understand the political and commercial side of these things, so I mine from Singapore. As it turned out, the connection to Telco was totally a non-issue, so I did'nt know what testing and configuration they were talking about.

The only problem is warranty. If anything goes wrong, I'd have to sent it back to Singapore. Touch wood, so far there has been no problem.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] deemacgee:
Wow, really? That's perverse. "Testing fee".... bloody hell! I wonder if that'll happen with the iPhone?

Thanks for the info! Answered a few questions. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenina:
Hi to everybody! Nice to meet you guys.

Well i'm a newbie and it's my first post so it's also my presentation for us. :highfive:

The point is that my brother has a Samsung galaxy ace II (GT-I8160). The device had the last original Samsung's firmware with android (4.1.2). So i flashed the phone with the custom rom from teamcanjica CM11 built wich is (4.4.4) stock.

The device flies compared with the stock firmware. And it's works better but i have already decalibrated the battery so i tried with the tutorial that talk about a program from the play store called battery calibration and all the steps to do it but it didn't worked. Because when i restarted the phone the percentage moves from 70% to 62% for example, and after that suddenly it shows 68%. :eek:

So in that point i don't know how to do. If someone can help me. i will apreciate very much. Thank you.

What kernel are you using?

Have you checked for wakelock?

Our battery technology doesn't suffer from the memory effects thus have no need for recalibration.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galac44:
I have the same issue with ace2nutzer rom+kernel.

But I had quite similar issue with stock rom. Are you sure this came with the new ROM ?

Maybe this happen when battery become old.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenina:
I'm using the ace2nuter kernal+ROM, I have never checked the wavelock in fact i don't know what it is so im going to check it and conffirm it to you.

My brother own this phone so i can't tell if this happend with the stock ROM and kernel :crying:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenina:
Okey, i informed about that, now i know what is a wakelock and i have the app called wakelock detector, but i don't know the data that shows to me means. if someone of you can guide to me i will upload a screenshot with the information to contrast the measures. :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galac44:
I don't know how to make a screenshot.

I also have the problem of wakelocks on this ROM, and it drains battery. It seems to be a common problem on CM, and I'm not sure it has been solved on this ROM. And it's quite hard to figure it out.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenina:
Well gentlemen, i have solved the problem, i have flashed the phone with the last version of aze2nut ROM and his last kernel with novathor 1.6.6 and it fixes a lot of bugs, after flashing i callibrated again the battery and now is ok. The duration is about one day and a half so i'm happy for the result. :victory:

[Verizon LG G3] tAheEr73:
Hi, i am rooted VS985 with king root, installed TWRP and on Stock 4.4.2 and rooted for deleting all pre loaded verizon and amazon apps and did some changes in system folders like hidden menu etc .. all deleted not today when i connected my PC software assistance tool , it says update is available.. see thumbnails

Now, i am confused if i update my rooted device , can i brick my phone?

please someone guide me, should i go for this update or NOT??
[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
If you ran the update through the tool it would fail since you are rooted and don't have stock recovery installed anymore. It's good practice to never update the phone via OTA or tool if you are rooted and/or have a custom recovery installed.

To update to the latest firmware, use twrp to flash the 35B (5.1.1) version of Skydragon, jasminerom, or xdabbeb's in the Verizon G3 android development section. All are stock based ROM's and run great. 5.1.1 has been a godsend for this phone. Much smoother and better battery life.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
Hi,

I just installed this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/final-solution-rom-lbl-t3073678

Everything went fine. I did all the steps. After installing the ROM and the fixes I chose system reboot from CWM Recovery. Since then I can't turn my phone on. If I press the power button there is a short vibration, but nothing happens.

1. Tried to reset with the button on the back of the phone. No go.

2. Tried all the button combination but can't even get back to recovery.

3. If I connect it to my computer then the led goes green and windows gives me that sound when you connect something new, but after 10 seconds the led turns off and I get the other sound for dismounting device. No diver can see it, neither flashtool does.

4. It doesn't charge. Well, at least the led does not turn on so I guess it's not charging.

Any idea?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vic19911992:
You have a kernel problem, Flash with Flashtool the kernel of your rom in fastboot mode (Volume +, and connect your usb cable) with flashtool or if that don't available, flash a stock kernel in fastboot mode (Volume + and connect your usb cable at your phone), when it's flashed, restart your phone
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
From where can I get a proper kernel? Does it matter that it has locked bootloader?

Also which flashtool should work?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vic19911992:
Normally, you can flash the kernel included in your rom, it's a file name boot.img, flashtool is good i think, can you send error messages with flashtool if you have any messages
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
If you have locked bootloader you must flash the stock kernel trough the flashmode, williams kernel is custom it will brick your device
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
I double checked that it works for locked bootloaded. It's even the name of the thread: [Final Solution ROM][UBL/

LBL

][V2][ODEXED for extreme smoothness][William's Kernel]

So the issue now is that I can't even install the driver (windows 10) as the device is being disconnected after 10 seconds of plugging in. I got the tft file now for the stock kernel and installed flashtool but it can't detect the phone (in that 10 secs), it says that driver is missing. Tried the C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and selected the necessary drivers but it never succeeds. Attached the screenshot of the failure of installing the drivers.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
You must turn off driver verification, g00gle it
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
OK, I'm getting closer. Thank you so far.

So drivers are installed. Computer can detect phone. All I can't do is to boot my phone to fast boot. It's always in flash mode not fast boot. I'm trying to power on and pushing the volume down, but no go.

26/049/2015 21:49:27 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
26/049/2015 21:49:32 - INFO - Now plug your device in Fastboot Mode
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
you must start with phone turned off, fastboot doesnt work because you have hardlocked bootloader

pick stock ftf of your choice let it load and when it prompts you connect turned off phone with volume- pressed

then root it with towelroot and install super su, open it and update su binary

when you will be done with that contact me or respond to this post i will help you with next steps
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
OK, to be honest I don't get any of that. What is towelroot, how to install super su and how to update its binary? Also what do you mean "let it load" (ftf)?

I have to mention that the bootloader is locked because it can't be unlocked.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
Yeah i know that your bootloader is not unlockable, by ftf loading i mean that select .ftf you want to flash first and wait until it prepares and prompts you to connect the phone, btw last flashtool that works with sp is flashtool-0.9.18.6 , if you will have problem with understanding that try to search how to flash ftf on xperia sp on youtube i hope you will get it eventually

towelroot is an app from geohot you can get it here https://towelroot.com/ it can root your device

super su is an app on google play it is free and it controls root apps, in other words it grants or denies root access, once you will gain root with towelroot, open super su and it will prompt you to update binary just select normal and it will work :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
I have version 0.9.19.10. And I can't select the file before I connect the phone with fastboot. The file has to be selected after. This is the tutorial I try to follow:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXTzA7Qrrv4

So my problem is still that I can't get into fastboot to flash the kernel. So towelroot and super su are not my options until I can't get into the system. :)

Any other clue on how to get it flashed?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
you cant use fastboot with your bootloader locked that is the point :D :D there is NO WAY of flashing custom kernel with bootloader locked or you will brick your device, only way to flash kernel on lbl is to flash stock kernel in your case WITH FLASHTOOL TROUGH FLASHMODE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz3LVw_MfzQ this may help you understand what i am trying to tell you
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
I understand what you are saying. But flashtool doesn't let me flash kernel in flash mode.

So it's a catch 22? After all this means that it's already bricked, isn't it?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:
You are not trying to flash kernel only, but that is possible too, you are trying to flash whole stock firmware.

Yes your phone is bricked because you flashed custom kernel on LBL.

Download some .205 or .207 firmware from android development section of xperia sp xda forum and flash it with flashtool.

There are plenty of tutorials online, i dont mean to be rude but you just must try and understand it yourself.

Here you have link for firmwares http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311964

just flash the ftf and phone should be ok, if you will be succesfull i can help you with rooting and flashing something suitable for locked bootloader xperia sp

Good luck
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
Wait a sec. It seems I could flash the kernel in flash mode.

It was keep disconnecting but finally the sony logo appeared and it booted to the system. It doesn't work properly, and it's very slow, but now I can get into CWM. Do you have any suggestion which ROM should I install on it?

Hi everybody and specially the moderators. Attention seeking for this particular device

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A which is released exclusively by AT&T.

Now this is a very different device than standard S6 or S6 Edge or S6 Edge Plus, still there is not a separate section for this device. Henceforth requesting the moderators/admin of XDA family to create a separate section for this device. The devices's thread is post under normal S6 due to which the device is loosing attention by the ROM modders, and its been ages since we S6 active users are waiting for a root for this device. This device was released by AT&T with standard 5.0.2 and now been updated to 5.1.1. I am willing to provide the stock rom of both version. Any other areas where the community feels is lacking info for this device due to which it hasn't earned a separate section, I am willing to provide all the bits. So kindly look into the request and create a separate section for this device.

Hey guys i tried flashing my rom using the Shelltool. I loaded the two cabs on the device and put it back to Tmobile 2.26. While i was in the shelltool it told me to do a hard reset and i think the phone was frozen (it didnt go to the normal colorful screen like usual) so i took the battery out of the back and powered it on. I left the software running like it said but it just froze up.

Now my MDA wont move past the Tmobile screen. I REALLY need a hand with this because this phone keeps my life in line! I dont even think ill be able to get up tomorrow because all my alarms go off my phone :P

Let me know if theres anything i can do otherwise im looking at a Motorola A1200 :-(

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bruto51:
Hi there,

Not familiar with Shelltool. I do most of my flashing using ActiveSync. Have you tried forcing the phone into Bootloader Mode (hold the Camera button while turning it on). Worth a shot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xeno1:
If t-mobile was the original ROM on the phone, then just flash it again using the exe (or RUU if you extracted the files from the exe) instead of using shelltool and see if that brings it back to life.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eddyg519:
well its stuck on the tmobile splash and shows no actual connection to the machine would it still work?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] peter petrelli:
If you can get into bootloader mode then you should be fine. Just put your device into bootloader and flash wizard love rom or the rom that your device came shipped with.

Good Luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eddyg519:
looks like its working guys but its most likely still going to look and be WM5. Im still willing to try and get WM6 on it tho. I have the roms but its just not working any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xeno1:
Well, if you're flashing the t-mobile ROM right now then it is going to be WM5. Since you now know what to do if the ROM your loading doesn't stick, try flashing the ROM you were trying to flash again. By the way, what was your IPL and SPL before you flashed it the first time where it didn't work? If it was less than 2.xx then that was your problem most likely. If you're now updating to the latest t-mobile ROM the way I told you to (using the exe or RUU) then your IPL and SPL now should work fine with WM6.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bruto51:
Well I just finished upgrading my MDA to WM6. Here's what I did. First off I

fould out that you need the phone CID Unlocked for it to accept the WM6

ROM. Follow the instructions on this thread by Dr. Puttingham.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

This should get your MDA ready provided it is a G3 (thread will tell you how

to tell the difference.) Then follow the directions on mfrazzz's thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=324632

I had problems with my MMS after the update but after re-installing the WM6

ROM and installing the CAB files by Lurch anf FZZF I got that problem

squared away. Believe me when I say I know what you are going thru. I

was fiddling around with this for about a week. Luckily I am on vacation and

I had plenty of time to read and decipher alot of the info I found. Good luck

and remember to READ, READ, READ. BTW, props to all that contributed to

these fine tutorials and for this awesome ROM. I have it running on my MDA

for three days now and am very happy with it. I am also using the 3.08
