[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakramji:
Hi all

In order to use a custom rom , I did the following with my moto g XT1033.

It was running on android 4.4.4 wen i did all these.

1. Unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp 2.8.7.0.

2. Downloaded the latest PA build from here "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2614690"

3. And downloaded pico gapps.

4. When i flashed the rom it told that the bootloader is out of date. So i updated the bootloader following this thread "http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/falcon-bootloader-upgrader-tool-t3093793"

5. And when i flashed the rom it was flashed fine. And the gapps and supersu also.

But when i reboot it stucks in bootscreen. I tried wiping and flashing once again. It doesnt work. The bootloader and the recovery are remaining safe and good.

Shud i try a new different ROM or is there any problem with my procedure.. ???
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakramji:
The current bootloader version is 41.18. Moto g phones using 5.1.1 had bootloader version as 41.1A. Does this make a difference..?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tjsdj:
Try another rom like aicp or euphoria

Hey my moto g3 cm 12.1 camera pictures taken with flash are black panorama pictures appear orange and slow mo is not working
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DPX:
No 41.18 is still fine (it also can be used for marshmallow ROMs e. g. CM 13 or CyanPop)!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tepar:
Did you root your device after you unlock your bootloader? Maybe you can try to flash supersu first then try to reflash rom and gapps.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] davtse:
you bought a phone that doesn't have half as many developers as the more popular ones. the developers that are working on CM13 are the same ones that were working on cm12.1. If you want more regular updates, get a phone that is supported by developers, or better yet, work on becoming a developer so you can help them out.

More importantly, it doesnt matter if the developers stop developing cm12.1 or cm13 for that case. This is not a paid job and they are not obligated to develop. More often than not these developers are users who pay for the phones themselves and share their development so people like you and I can enjoy our phones more. It is and always has been, their prerogative. Respect that.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] davtse:
point one, Well if you read the post quoted and not the post that you edited, you would see that your tone is ambiguous, especially this point "I also see CM13 is available, but that doesn't mean CM12.1 development should completely stop."

point two, if you had in fact read the related threads, you would have seen some, if not ALL of the developers give the disclaimer that they're working on some part of CM13. In fact the CM13.1 thread itself has the major mi4i developers involved to some extent. The onus is on you the end user to find all this information. If I could gather all this, I don't see why someone else cant.

point three, it was a suggestion that if you want regular updates to try and be a developer. No one is calling you out on that. I can't help if you have a inferiority complex and think that other people are targeting you.

TLDR: all the information you are "asking" for is available in some form on these very forums. Don't be lazy and read the threads. Don't expect the developers to answer each and every of your non-developer related questions.

Want more updated information? follow their progress on github. Since you've tried to download the sources, I'm pretty sure you know how to use github.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] davtse:
Okay, so be specific. what exactly is this "development information" that you seek? How is this helpful to anyone but yourself? You have been providing help since your Xperia, Kudos to you on that. Since you want to talk about profiles and helping others, I can tell you this much. You can check my profile and see that I have been helping people with their problems for probably way longer than you have owned a smartphone. What I cannot and will not tolerate is laziness since this is a waste of time for people really looking to help others.

Your question has been answered in my previous posts. CM12.1 has been halted in development because the developers are concentrating on CM13. If you spent half the time you've wasted on justifying your actions to instead read posts and threads, I have no doubt you would definitely increase your capability to help others instead of being a waste of time

just so everyone else can see what I have been talking about

There are many many kitchens out there for you to do what you want to do. Just take apart both the ROMs, and then copy which packages you want into the ROM of your choice and you'll be good to go. What is it in Black X that you like and What is it in Schaps WM6Pro 3.60 that you like?

[Android General] r00tb33r:
Hey all,

I've got a Comigo set top box, and it runs Android 4.4.2... Play Store doesn't work anymore but I can still install apps as .apk packages. The caveat is that I have to get versions that don't use API newer than 19. A lot of apps don't work right because apparently there are some things missing or not configured correctly.

The issue at hand is that apps can't show web content inside an app and prompt instead to open in external browser app (Google Chrome for example). Is Android System WebView the component I need? I searched around for an .apk and the lowest version I found was 40. Version 40 uses API 21, but my device supports API only up to 19. I believe the version I need is 36. Could someone point me to a download or post me the .apk file so I could install it on my device?

The build should be for arm architecture.

Thanks a bunch!

PS I don't have any KitKat devices to back it up from, all I have is Jelly Bean and Lollipop, neither will do.
[Android General] ravilov:
Incorrect. Version 36 is the one found in L Developer Preview which I believe is still API 21 (or 20). While WebView in Android 4.4 is indeed based on Chrome, it only got repackaged as a separate APK with Android 5.0. In other words, there doesn't seem to be a way to install any of the WebView APKs on Android 4.4.

See here for details.

Did you manage to sort this one out?
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
This phone of mine's been through the wringer, and I'm just not savvy enough to get it updated to today's standards. I could really use your help.

A few years ago, I used the Sensation AIO Kit v1.1 to make this Canadian HTC Z710A phone use 4.03 Jellybean, and it's been that way since. Recently, I thought I'd go a step further to bring it to Cyanogen 12. That didn't work (the "forever load circle" happened), so I went back and tried it again with C 11. Again, same result ("f.l.c."). I went back, and after a -LOT- of trial and error, I finally accomplished getting XE with Audio Beats to work....

.....Except, it wouldn't read my wifi hardware whatsoever. I heard this happens sometimes, and a solution is to restore the phone to a factory stock setting and retry from there.

I'm back where I started, at 4.03 Jellybean (Sense v 3.6; Software 3.32.666.13). Something corrupted / screwed up along the way and now I only have access to half(?) the apps that I once had, so the phone is not usable as-is despite regaining wifi control once more. I still have full access to the bootloader and I can install any recovery onto it easily (thanks to Sensation AIO 1, 3, and 4).

So this is where I am, and this is what I just can't get past, and I'd like it if you treated me like a beginner because I'm just not grasping this part:

How do I acquire the proper stock image/rom/kernel? Where do I place it on the SD card? What recovery program should I install? Once it is reverted to stock, what procedures to I need to do to bring it to the best, strongest, full out powerhouse it can be -- as in, what is the greatest custom rom that can be installed?

I'll do my best to amend this post with information as you request it from me.

I really want to thank anyone who can help me here. I'm not quite the intermediate techie that I pretend to be in front of my friends and family, especially when I'm asking such a beginner question in front of you all. I do know that the community here is really strong, so I anticipate good things to come.

(final edit): This post is completed and SOLVED. A huge thank you to user rzr86 for singlehandedly guiding the way through this problem. Please read through all these posts in this thread to glean the trials and tribulations I faced to make it succeed.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you want to return back to stock see here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672425

everything are well-explained

note: if you are on S-OFF leave it as it is
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
I did as you suggested, taking screenshots and camera pics the whole way. I found the only applicable RUU exe and set my phone to a ***RELOCKED*** state prior to running it. Then, I received this image:

[IMG="Current Info"]https://i.imgur.com/Xl1sSg8.png[/IMG]

imgur Xl1sSg8.png

So, I clicked cancel and returned here to update this status. I'd love to hear any suggestions. Please let me know if there's anything I should add as far as details go. Thanks.

(I DID say this would be difficult, eh?)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
which one did you try?

are you on S-OFF?
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
By "which one did you try", do you mean the RUU exe?

I downloaded RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.35.666.1_Radio_10.50.9007.00U_10.12.9007.21_2M_release_200555_signed as it was the only one to feature "Pyramid", "BM", and "666" in the filename. That's the program I ran.

Here's a question that I may have misconstrued: When the program states "Image version:" and there's no further text listed, is the program stating "look at the visual image we've provided of a phone and see if it matches", and not "here's an .img version of your phone's software"?

Because, yes, that IS a visual image of my z710a phone in the upper left. I was expecting a series of .img (image) ISO-type files to be listed in that open white space beneath.

Furthermore, the program asks "Select one below:" as if there are many options to choose from, while the only option is "Update". It's terribly worded and confusing.

Lastly, my phone was in an S-ON state when I began this post, and it's still in that S-ON state now (photo below).

[IMG="relocked s-on phone state"]https://i.imgur.com/VhuK8zi.jpg[/IMG]

imgur VhuK8zi.jpg

So, what is my next move from here?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
since you are on S-ON you can't downgrade

you need an ics ruu.exe

but i don't think that exists any with your firmware version(i am not sure though)

i suggest to unlock again the bootloader

flash a custom recovery(i suggest 4ext recovery)

flash vipers rom 5.3.0 (link in my signature)

then use rumrunner method to S-OFF the device

after that change your cid to supercid

and in the end use any ruu.exe you want :)

about wifi issue check the pins in the back cover which are responsible for the wifi

lift them up gently
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
I looked for an ICS RUU like you said, and found this one:

OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_BM_3.32.666.53-3.32.666.13_R_release_2907247e88uydtji4gz02b.zip

However, as you can see, it's an OTA file (I'm assuming "Over The Air"). As it isn't an RUU file, I'm not certain what the best way to proceed from here is, and I would appreciate advice on that.

Also, I can verify that the WiFi pins are in no way a problem. Rather, I think you misinterpreted my statement. The upgrade to C12 previously just didn't have the software connection established. The hardware is perfectly fine and works ideally.

I look forward to any additional help on this, and thank everyone for taking time to help out.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try to flash that zip via fastboot

fastboot flash zip <<the name of the zip>>

if it doesn't work then do it from ruu mode

from bootloader type fastboot rebootRUU

then the above command
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
Well, I first tried to flash via the aforementioned fastboot flash zip OTA...zip command, but there was an error and it failed.

Next, I attempted to flash via the recovery menu through the Update Via Zip On SD menu selection, of which I was able to take a photo of the resulting error on screen:

[IMG="recovery update zip"]https://i.imgur.com/z1aEOGS.jpg[/IMG]

imgur z1aEOGS.jpg

So the question I have before proceeding with the suggestion of using fastboot rebootRUU (and is that the actual command, with proper spacing?), is: Do any of those bits of text on the screenshot contain pertinent revelations to this procedure that might make me want to take a different tactic? Should I try installing the vipers rom 5.3.0, do the rumrunner/S-OFF technique, and change to supercid BEFORE attempting the fastboot rebootRUU command?

If anyone wants to lay out a series of commands for me to follow from here, I'd really appreciate it.

I do apologize for such a difficult restoration. I knew it was going to be rough. Thanks for all your patience.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i think the error has something to do with the cid

actually i suggest to go for vipers rom then S-OFF

it is far more easy way
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
Well, it didn't quite work.

ViperS/C2 5.3.0 (your link) wasn't downloading for whatever reason, and I'm on limited bandwidth so I couldn't keep spending 3 hours to have it stop downloading at 150mb in. Instead, I downloaded 5.2.1 and the 750mb file came in within a steady 30 minutes.

In recovery mode, I wiped all the necessary things that needed to be wiped (dalvik, etc) and then installed V 5.2.1. The ROM saw the phone as a z710e (and not as the z710a it actually is), but the installation proceeded anyway.

[IMG="complete"]https://i.imgur.com/8xpQhhx.jpg[/IMG]

It asked to reboot, and I said yes, and now we have this.

[IMG="htc"]https://i.imgur.com/3eKdqez.jpg[/IMG]

imgur 3eKdqez.jpg

It's been on this HTC boot screen for over an hour now.

I have to run around town for the next several hours, and I'll leave it as is, stuck on the HTC boot logo. When I return (if there hasn't been any change), I'll reboot the phone back into recovery and go from there.

I could use some advice at this point. Difficult phone is difficult.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
because you are on S-ON and need to flash the boot.img via fastboot command after rom installation

otherwise use 4ext recovery and enable smartflash exactly before flashing the rom
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
Success! Messaging you from Chrome, via the WiFi on this working Viper ROM z710... what is this now, an a or an e? Who knows.

I restored back to my recovery, downloaded the most recent 4EXT from your link and made that my new custom recovery. From there, I started Superflash immediately before loading this ROM again, and it works. It all works.

Thank you very much for helping me throughout.

I think my next plan of attack is to find and use the rumrunner to S-OFF the device. Then, install the fun bits.

I'll post any follow ups that snag if they happen, but for the moment you've solved my difficult phone. Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
your device still remains a z710a. any custom rom doesn't change that

for rumrunner method see here

note: if your only goal was to solve the wifi issue let me tell you that you are done :)
[HTC Sensation] intermedE8:
Just a follow-up, no need to reply.

I thought I'd let everyone know that the phone works fine for what it is. The memory is pretty low, but I knew that going in.

I had some trouble with battery life, but there is some amazing posts elsewhere on this site for managing battery life in the Viper rom, and by following those guides I was able to extend the phone's duration by three or four times longer.

Thank you, rzr86. Your assistance was invaluable.

Take care.

[Android Head-Units] rtbrjason:
Hello all.. Not a big poster here, but I've got a couple of these Android headunits in my cars and am considering one for a friend. I've got a KGL unit specific to an Audi TT and I've got a Joying unit which is a generic dual din installed in a Ford Expedition. Both are Quad core units with 1024x600 screens.

I'm quite happy with both units though the radio in both seems to be pretty terrible. I've done a bunch of screwing around, have them both rooted and tried all the available MCUs. It's not a huge deal for me as I'm not much into the radio. I did see a (Russian?) instruction set on how to upgrade the radio hardware, but the instructions weren't clear enough for me to give it much further consideration.

The question is do any of these units have decent radio hardware already installed? The person I'm considering gifting this new unit to is for sure a radio person and will not be too excited with the reception around here if the new one is anything like my current 2..
[Android Head-Units] cmatic2:
From what I have read on various forums (no first hand experience), improving the signal is the fix for poor radio in these units. VW apparently uses a twin FAKRA antenna connector. You get these 2:1 adapters on the web. This will help hook the OE antenna to this HU and that apparently does improve things.

Another thing you can try in addition to this is to get yourself a new HD-RX8 Radio signal booster https://nationalantennas.com/hd-rx8 car auto fm am radio signal booster amplifier antenna amp.htm. Apparently is the best!
[Android Head-Units] rtbrjason:
Thanks for the reply.. It's been a while but I did finally order this radio antenna booster and got it installed on the generic Joying unit. Unfortunately, it didn't make any difference that I can tell.

I'm hoping one of these companies eventually makes one of these with a quality tuner I guess.
[Android Head-Units] ajaydand65:
In other forums someone did mention that these signal boosters need to be powered up through 12v connection. Those who made proper connections have reported significant improvement in reception & sound quality, although I haven't tried it yet. Did your come with the 12v connection type? Unfortunately, not yet allowed to post URL/Image. Hope that helps.

Hi all. Well the phone has been running CM12 for awhile now. Its seemed to running well. My GF said that that it wasn't holding a charge. Looked at the battery stats. A few of the normal google services were at the top of the list. Anyway I thought a wiping of the dalvik and cashe would do the trick. I booted into TWRP and wiped both. No biggie. Rebooted phone. It Started to optimize apps. I put it on the wireless charger. and left it for a while. When I came back the phone was off and the "phone off" charging screen was on. I started the phone back up, started optimizing again and got about 98 out of 110 apps then shut down. I'm letting it charge (i hope) for awhile. I was thinking of doing a reflash of the ROM. I would rather not start from scratch with it as there are texts that she was saving. I'm looking for some assistance in getting the phone back online.

I was able to get into to the recovery. Make a backup. There was just enough space. Then I restored a backup. Everything worked at that point. And luckily I was able to restore her texts from TB.
