[Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drean:
I have a Redmi Note 4G Single Sim Global phone, with V7.0.7.0.KHIMICI (MIUI7).

Is it possible to root, and still have the factory data reset work correctly?

If I flash CWM PhilZ Touch recovery, resetting the phone (by settings, or in recovery) results in having no Google Play store on my phone...

What am I doing wrong?
[Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nz_mincemeat:
I find that after factory reset the dior, I need to re-flash gapps from recovery. I use the OpenGApps either nano or pico as anything bigger won't fit.

Please provide me a link or method

Thanks :)

I had made a complete backup of my phone using Smart Switch b4 sending it in for service. Upon restoring with Smart Switch again, I found that all my private mode content (which are only pics) haven't been restored. Are they permanently gone or is there any way for me to restore them? All my other content is back except for this.

I had been struggling for a day trying to find a way to improve the audio volume and quality of my LG G2 D800 and CM12.1 as it does not come with Viper4Android and if you install it, won't work. After some research I find out a way to make it work, it should also work on any CM based ROMs.

To make ViperAndroid work on LG G2 with the latest CM12.1 Snapshot

Pre-requisites:

Go into developer's option and make sure you disable the Nu Player and use Awesomeplayer instead.

1) Download SELinuxModeChanger-v3.2-release

2) Download the latest ViperFX 2.3.4.0

3) Run Download SELinuxModeChanger-v3.2-release and change the SELinux to Permissive, reboot.

4) Install ViperFX 2.3.4.0 and install the driver and reboot.

And after than it will work. The bug is that when you check the driver status, it would be grayed out, but you will notice the audio improvements when playing with the Equalizer among other stuff.

Let me know of your results! :)
[G2 General] danek731:

[HTC Sensation] CrazyFarmer:
Hey Guys,

I'm new here, never did any Android thingys. Some months ago i tried to install CyanogenMod on my HTC Sensation XE. I have no idea what Ive been doing back then, but it since then it doesnt work. I didnt really need it in the meantime, so i didnt care about it. But Id like to fix it and use it again.

So my Problem is, it wont boot. When i turn it on, it vibrates as usual, shows the white screen with the green HTC on it, and then it gets a black screen again and is like turned off. But then i cant turn it on again, i will have to take out the battery and put it in again.

So my question is, can i find out whats wrong with my phone and fix the problem and can you help me during that process since Im totally new to that kind of stuff.

I got a Windows and a Linux machine, if needed.

Thanks to everbody who might be able to help me

post your bootloader details

and what recovery do you have ?
[HTC Sensation] CrazyFarmer:
I tried to make a picture and put it here, but it seems like i cant insert a picture of my bootloader.... So thats what it says:

----------------------------------------------------------

*** UNLOCKED ***

But i have no idea what you want me to tell you about my recovery... As i said, Im totally new to this.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
flash this recovery via fastboot

http://d-h.st/rG7

extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command

the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then flash a custom rom

before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext recovery

note: enable smartflash exactly before flashing the rom
[HTC Sensation] CrazyFarmer:
Sorry, but thats too fast for me ;)

what do i need for all that? and what custom rom would be good to use in my case? and what do i have to do, to flash that stuff? I have no idea and last time i broke everything ...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
do you have sdk tools (adb fastboot) installed in your pc?

if yes put the recovery.img in that folder and open a command window from that folder

then type fastboot flsh recovery recovery.img
[HTC Sensation] CrazyFarmer:
I flashed the recovery now, looks like everything went fine. no error messages in my console output. i also tried the option "recovery" in bootloader, it sent me to this 4ext thingy. So what is the next stept? what do i have to prepare before flashing a rom and how do i flash finally? And wich rom would be suitable for me? there are so many :D
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
download a custom rom and place it in your sdcard

reboot to recovery

make a nandroid backup just in case

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext

enable smartflash from 4ext(because you are on S-ON)

flash the rom

done
[HTC Sensation] CrazyFarmer:
Thank you so much :)

everything went well, my sensation is alive again :P

Hi,

I am desperately trying to solve a problem i've had upgrading my hermes.

To cut a long story short i tried to upgrade to wm6 using the guides on mrvanx.org hard spl 2.10olipro installed fine. the OS installed fine.

when i was trying to upgrade my radio it crashed. ever since i cant upgrade radio every time i try it gets stuck in bootloader. OS flashes fine but when i check the radio version through device info radio and protocol are blank.

i have tried every radio version from 1.38 to 1.51 they all just get stuck on 0% and then ask me to do a recovery. I have tried reading the corrupted radio sticky thread and everything in there but no luck.

any help will be much appreciated.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmzdroid:
I have seen a 2013 Nexus7 32gb in a local shop and can trade my 2012 Nexus7 16gb +£33 for it. It seems like a good deal to me although I do love the old Grouper warts and all. I'm pretty sure I will appreciate the extra Ram and the marshmallow update, I would just like a second opinion from any fellow Nexus7 owners out there thanks.

At both sites the replacement battery is out of stock. My battery has started acting very strange (tablet totally turns off around 20%, then when i plug it in battery is 100% dead, needs 15 minutes charging just to start up again).

I did quite a bit of googling but didn't find anything.

[Nexus 9 Accessories] tibere86:
Bumping this thread. My aging Nexus 9 is in need of a new battery, but all the sites posted above show them as out of stock. Has anyone been able to purchase a replacement battery recently?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] christian_l:
If anybody is still searching (or has given up already): I just got a new battery from here: http://bigupgadgets.com/battery-35h00218-00m-b0p82100-for-htc-flounder.html. You may find it from other vendors if you search for "35H00218-00M".

The printing on the back looks different from my old battery - looks like this is indeed a new part, rather than a refurbished/replacement HTC battery. It fit perfectly, and charged fine. I just installed it yesterday, so I can't yet say how well it performs long term.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] tibere86:
Many thanks! I was able to order a replacement battery and replace mine. After about a week of use, I have not seen any issues. :good: Only complaint I would have is the slow shipping.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] christian_l:
You're welcome! Yeah, I'm also quite happy with mine so far - it keeps the charge pretty well.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Alexandroid99:
So how did it turn out? My Nexus 9 is going to become sort of a lab rat for full-scale linux development on the device so I'm considering replacing the dying battery as well. I could get the aforementioned battery for around 30€. If the battery works without blowing up and is the advertised capacity, that is.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] christian_l:
It worked well, fewer slowdowns and crashes. That may be in part also because I fixed the location of the copper plate/heat sink that had been placed under the original battery (leading the heat into the device) to where it was supposed to be. Some problems that may be more related to the chip/RAM/64bit choice persisted (browser is still super slow with just a few tabs open). Not using it much these days except for ebooks, Hoopla, etc. When I don't use it for a while, I turn of the Wifi and the charge holds for many days. Good luck with your Linux endeavors.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Alexandroid99:
Well all the other malfunctions are definitely NOT related to the battery, except if the old one maybe started to lack in persistent current delivery (which would cause the sudden shutoff - my Nextbit Robin had it as well and it would behave as if the battery wasn't designed to power the chipset, crashing at 70% charge). If something in the power delivery goes wonky then maybe that also messed up some memory addresses and CPU calculations.

But enough being a smartass - if the battery does hold up without life-threatening malfunctions then it might be a good option?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] christian_l:
What I was trying to share is that the new battery (and its proper placement) fixed a couple of things for me that I hadn't expected to be related to the battery. So I got actually way more than just increased battery life. With some non-original batteries (e.g. for cameras) you see that the copies are definitely inferior to the original. This one was as good or better.

Of course that was two years ago - production standards may have changed, or you may get a battery that's been sitting around for the last two years (what would that do to a battery? - I have no idea). Mine's still working well after this time. I would definitely go for it, but I'd try to find a vendor where I can send it back if for some reason it's not working as advertised. I haven't heard of any of these batteries exploding, and really would not worry about it. Hope that helps.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedShark82:
Hi Guys,

today i root my Fire 7' (5.1.1) with the supertool from rootjunky.com. After that i flash the newest CM12.1 and GAPPS (both files from her: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/rom-cm-12-1-2015-11-15-t3249416) with FlashFire. After CM12.1 starts up, i see that GAPPS are not installt... My root-access is also gone. So what i can do now to install GAPPS?

best regads and merry chrimas to all of you...
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Which gapps did you pick? If it was larger than mini it probably didn't fit in the space on system. You didn't install root again?

I think CM has it's own root that you can use as a fallback, check in developer options for Root Access setting. Hopefully that'll work. Though don't see any reason you couldn't use the supertool to push root back on if needs be.

Think opengapps leaves a log file so might be able to check why it failed. Check the directory you installed from.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedShark82:
Thanks for your reply. I check the logs and you are right, there isn't enough space to install GAPPS (stock version).

The root-option in the developer menu are not working for me. So you thing i can get root whit the supertool again? I not sure about that... Because now its CM12.1 not FireOS.

And the mini Version of openGAPPS is the right one?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
I think that mini should fit. Some go as low as pico, but seems bit miserly. Thinking about it, the log tells you how much more space it needed than was available that should give a clue as to how small you need to go with Gapps.

Yeah the root part seems like it'd be applicable on any rom. Certainly if using twrp it installed it on stock or any of the custom roms the same way, so the tool should do likewise, pushing them to Fire and then installing.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedShark82:
Its done! CM12.1 with GAPPS and root... :victory: Thanks for your help!

The installation of GAPPS took a "long" time. After 2-3 minutes i was thinking - oh no, its bricked... :D
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Cool, what size GApps did you go with in the end?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedShark82:
I used the mini version (234 MB). The stock version was 518 MB...
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidusnk21:

Thanks for being the first one to risk bricking with this method!
[Fire TV General] Patrick_445:
Thanks [MENTION=2516604]aboshi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1822143]xenoglyph[/MENTION]!

1) Does this script assume anything besides firmware 5.0.3.1 rooted? (see EDIT below)

2) Does it matter that apps may have altered /system after the 5.0.3.1 root? (for instance I have AdAway which edits /system/etc/hosts)

3) You said this takes only 3 minutes to run. Does that mean you can successfully run sync after dd?

4) The Mega link asks for a decryption key to download. Are you making this available only to a select group of people?

EDIT: Noticed that busybox is part of this rooting package. If I already have busybox on the box, should I uninstall that before running this script?
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
[MENTION=5910180]Patrick_445[/MENTION]

The script doesn't need to assume firmware version currently, it will only verify the script, .md5, busybox, and images being used.

Im sure I can put in a verify build prop but I have not done that yet. The only reason that would be needed is if someone downgraded when new FW comes out and that might brick their system and I believe it amazon burns fuses now so you cant downgrade.

I posted the decryption key for Mega. I don't know why it was asking you for one because the whole link includes the key.

It doesn't matter that apps alter anything in /system because its getting overwritten/upgraded anyway.

Yes it runs sync at the very end. As for time running it's really only 2 mins. I added a 60 sec sleep at the end right before the reboot just to be safe.

You do not need to delete busybox if you installed it already. busybox is included to run everything statically from the same dir and it must be present or the script will exit as soon as it does the hash check. I have done it this way because I felt it was safer than just linking.
[Fire TV General] skyball2:
adb over network

Hi aboshi,

first of all I want to thank you for your script. It makes updating the AFTV2 quite painless.

Otherwise I'd like to report that I did the update using adb over the network (wired) which thankfully worked, but not completely perfect.

When I ran your script in the networked adb shell it did everything as expected up to writing

"Copying system.root.img"

to the screen. Then nothing further seemed to happen. I expected that step to run a little longer, since system.root.img is by far the largest file to be written. But after some minutes, I started to get nervous. I tried to ping my AFTV2, but it wasn't reachable over the network anymore. When I looked at the TV, which is connected to my AFTV2 (different room), I could see, that the AFTV2 had rebooted and it was stuck at the colored amazon logo. I waited for about 20 further minutes, but nothing changed.

Reading about all the brick-stories here, I feared my AFTV2 was dead now. So I gave it a last chance and powercycled my AFTV2. At that second boot, the AFTV made it and after some minutes of "optimizing apps aso." it really came up. I checked the os version and I had 5.04.

So I can only guess what had happened. While writing the system image obviously the network connection got lost and thus the adb shell session terminated. The script probably continued to run, because it managed to write enough of the system image to create a working system. Probably it even ran until the end, since my AFTV2 rebooted by itself. BUT, I can't be sure about it, because I never saw the correspondig lines in my adb shell and the first reboot didn't really work out.

So my conclusion: I wouldn't recommend using the script over the network unless you are a very adventurous person or you have no other possibility. In my case I was to lazy to carry my laptop over to the AFTV2 and to install the USB drivers and adb on it. Also I just hoped the update would work. In the end I did carry my laptop over and repeated the update over USB, just to be sure. This time it worked perfect.

Greets,

Christian
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
[MENTION=1857366]skyball2[/MENTION]

Thank you for testing over network. I knew more than likely something like that would happen and thats why it should be done over USB.

It is due to all system files being overwritten and linking. You might have also noticed when it upgraded from 5.0.3.1 to 5.0.4 that the system black screens in the middle of the copy (but not when overwriting 5.0.4 to 5.0.4). Thankfully the script finished its job and you have a working system.

Im sure it can be done over network for others as a last resort, but I wouldn't do it personally because we have no recovery options at the moment. If anyone else wants to do this over network I HIGHLY suggest that you wait at least 10 mins before you reboot after you lose network connection, and after the reboot I would wait another 10 mins before power cycling again if stuck at the amazon logo. (so in other words UPDATE OVER USB!)
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
Hello,

when I enter the command: chmod 775 root.sh I get the following error: Unable to open root.sh No such file or directory

any ideas why? I checked that fire tv is connected using adb devices. Also entered adb shell with no problems as well as su, and

cd /storage/sdcard1

thanks

Edit: btw I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. Fire TV 2 shows up in Device Manager as Portable Device
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
Don't know why you're having an issue with chmod but just do this:

su
mount -o rw,remount /storage/sdcard1
cd /storage/sdcard1
chmod 775 root.sh
sh ./root.sh
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
thanks for the reply. Still same error after chmod.... no error when mount -o rw,remount /storage/sdcard1 though just at the chmod command.
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
Still don't see how you're having an issue but try this and let me know:

Instead of chmod 775 root.sh type this:

chmod 775 ./root.sh

And there's no need to remount sdcard1 because the script will handle that.
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
I just looked again at the files on the sdcard and there is no root.sh file. Should I try and download the all in one package again?

the zip file I downloaded doesn't have root.sh in the archive? Or am I downloading the wrong file?
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
I'll DL the zip right now and look.

*edit*

The zip contains root.sh, verify.md5, and busybox

Make sure your are copying them all to the microsd.

I will now go back and edit my other posts because there is no reason to remount anything for the end user.
