I supose that you will have to install the "new update.zip" (the one that you downloaded before) via Custom Recovery.

So I gotta to Complete Wipe my Phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I think you better ask that on ROM topic. Generally a full wipe is recommended, but there are people who update ROM without any wipe and without any problems too, so in which category you will fall, well I can't say.

hello all,

i have Coolpad F1 8297w with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and Miui V6 installed on it ( 5.7.31 KK & TWRP from needrom)

lately i had some issues with this rom, so i decided to flash another rom.

on the TWRP Recovery i did Format Data Partition (where you have to type 'yes') and because of that i think i messed up the partition table in the internal SD.

when i do now the normal wipe (Data, Cache and Dalvik) it says in the log:

E:Unable to mount '/system'

E:Unable to mount '/cache'

E:Unable to mount '/data'

...done

E:Unable to mount storage

same when i try to install ROM zip file from External-SD.

in Mount menu of TWRP it doesn't let me mount any of the partition except External SD-card.

i've tried 3 flashing tools with guides without any success (YGDP, Coolpad Download Assistant, SP flash tool).

i tried to flash stock rom "4.2.020.P0.140409.8297W.CPB".

in MTKdroidTools i have ADB access to the device when in Recovery, at adb shell i did "cat /proc/partitions" and "df" , here is the screen capture:

i don't know what to do more, nothing seems to work:crying:

Can somebody help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m@nish123:
select one by one partition and do format....it will fixed the issue
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobenary:
thank you for you replay.

can you elaborate more on your answer, I guess is should do it in the adb shell?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m@nish123:
i have clone of coolpad ...nitro a310

solution is go to twrp recovery and select format> select (single partition like system,data,cache one by one) and do select yes option ....ur problem solved :v
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobenary:
I've tried that, it doesn't even let me one by one in the TWRP, same error as written before.

I Yesterday installed CM13 Nightlies and i am pretty much happy with it, works great, no lagg, but only thing which I would like to improve is battery life.

I got jus about 3,5h Sot, screen brightness never go over 70%, i dont use intnernet over mobile data just wi-fi (i cant change network to only 2g i mean its a known bug on cm13)

Is there some kernel and what settings i should try to get better battery life time?

(sorry if my eanglish is bad)

I'm using nebula on Resurrection Remix. I have 6/7 hours of sot with with regular use (chrome, YouTube, music, reading, 40% brightness, uldervolting, no underclock or overclock, )

How much did you undervolt? And what's governor and hotplug settings? I would love to know more..just flashed the nebula.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboysofty:
Guys I don't believe you, if I reach 3 hours SOT it's great...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OVERHEAT 50:
Here's my settings:

Governor: Intellidemand

All power saving tweaks off

Hotplug: Intelliplug with Performance profile

Intellithermal off

I/O: bfq on both, 2048 read-ahead,

MMC, Random, Rotational and RQ on , NR 1024

GPU: Governo Tunables off and Adreno Idler on

FSYNC off and WiFi scan interval in 300 secs

Undervolt varies from device to device. My device can reach 600mV at 268MHz with 15 / 20mV for each subsequent step.

It may seem strange, but on my device, performance settings use less battery than power saving settings, and it's cooler...

Out of the kernels I've tried the stock kernel for candy six has netted the best battery life.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OVERHEAT 50:
Yeah, me neither lol. But its serious.

when I was on stock, I could get only 3h of sot too. Play a single game was a battery nightmare...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totone56:
777 FTW !

XenonHD on LP with 777 gave me around 6h everyday, now on MM i'm on CandySiX with 777 MM and i've got almost the same SOT, maybe a bit less good :)

Nebula gives great results too, slightly better perfs, but is less consistent in SOT !

Edit : Using Lionheart give me very good battery life and perfect framerate in everyday use, and using Alucard or MSM Hotplug
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeXaLox:
dont give some BS....every single 777 kernel as of right now for MM is giving SOD's and freezes. Nebula is the only one to actually work well with cm13 and RR. 6 hours of SOT LOL show the proof.

My G3. 7% were drained by the camera with 100% brightness. The lasts 15% give easily +1h

No bs. 6h is possible, even 7
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totone56:
Haha sorry no proof, switched Rom multiples times since RR gave me a Sim bug, and i don't usually screen my battery life at the end of the day :p

But yeah as the guy above just said, you can get 6h, PowerNap helps a lot on LP, this thing is absolutely fantastic, your battery looses maybe 1% in 2h of LTE standby :D

(PS : 777 + CandySiX did gave me maybe one or two SOD's in a week of usage, but no freezes ! It' was very nice)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeXaLox:
Try putting that with no airplane mode with full 4G LTE on lol don't do some BS test. 6hrs of SOT is not possible. Max is 4 in real cases.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OVERHEAT 50:
OK, I'll do it again without airplane mode. I only did so because it was without my SIM card at the time. But I will not put 4g lte because I just use wifi. My normal use. And as I mentioned, 7% were drained by the camera and 100% brightness and I do not usually use it. So I believe it will not change much on the SOT
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjeev aher:
im an amateur

could you please tell me how to apply your settings ( would love to get 6/7 hrs sot)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy.garlington:
I am new to my Nexus 6 and new to flashing custom roms. I have read the thread all morning long and still don't feel comfortable with what information I have obtained. I'm currently running marshmallow 6.0 rooted with supersu 2.52. How can I flash the latest pure Nexus project 6.0.1 correctly? I do have TWRP recovery installed and I'm running on build number MRA58R
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpeterman:
Make a backup in TWRP, wipe your system partition, Flash the ROM zip and the GAPPS zip, reboot, profit. If anything fails you can roll back to your backup and try again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Real simple. Download the latest built as well as the latest google apps (gapps)

Reboot to TWRP

Do a backup, so you have a restore point if something happens

Go to wipe->advanced wipe and choose both caches, system and data. DO NOT wipe internal storage

Go to install, choose the ROM and gapps and install them

Reboot

You will now be on the latest. You will have to set your phone up again, and all your text messages, home screen, act will be gone but all your stuff on your sdcard (internal storage) will be untouched.

You can also get real ambitious and make backups with something like titanium backup of all your apps and data and restore it after booting PN, but try to not back up system apps or system data (it should be an option... I dont know, I never use tibu). The main thing you lose without backing up is texts, I usually just deal with it/redownload apps/set up home screen again.

On future updates, unless there are major changes and its indicated by a majority of people in the PN thread, just dirty flash.

That is, backup, wipe caches, install new ROM version( I wouldn't reflash gapps ) this will leave all your apps, settings, ect... But should only be done when flashing the same or a very similar ROM. If you dirty flash and experience problems, go back and clean flash as I first instructed.

So I should not worry about flashing the new 32r radio?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
shouldnt this have been one of the first things to learn BEFORE you ever rooted your phone? yea, nice job jumping in before learning your way around. i bet you even used a toolkit to root your device.. :p

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy.garlington:
Hey there simbo, what do you say about flashing the radio?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Sure. Or don't.

Whatever.

The radio is pretty separate from android. Its basically drivers to tell you phone how to use hardware.

FI has certain requirements for activation that may check what radio you have, but outside of that run what ever works good for you., its not going to for sure be any specific one. Newer may often be better but its not uncommon that an older one may work a little better.

Different apps can help you monitor (I dunno which ones... But I know its a thing :P), you can also go into about phone -> status -> sim status and check signal strength where lower dBm is better(well a lower numeric value... Its technically a negative number, so higher is better i.e. -113 is worse then -104). This will vary slightly minute to minute and place to place so just taking a glance once won't really settle it for you

I just use it for a day or two, pay attention to how my signal is (just kinda how often did I have decent # of bars, nothing scientific), and check battery stats clicking on cell standby and looking at % of time with out signal.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
youre choice. you can try any of the radios, from previous android versions, on any android version. they arent specific. im using the 27R radio. whichever one works best for you, thats whats important :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidphilev:
Well, it's all very easy if you read a little. Still i will give you one extra tip in case you start flashing all kinds of roms: You unlocked your bootloader. Before doing that you enabled "OEM unlocking" in 'Developer options'. Leave that enabled (this setting is 'sticky'. even when you wipe the device)!!!!. Leaving OEM unlocking enabled will disable "Device Protection" that causes sometimes a 72 hours lock-out from your Google account.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] texas:
Hello,

Well it seems that 4smartphone is a) making me move to OL2007 (which is fine) and b) raising my rate before my prepaid term is up.

I got a reply email today telling me how to migrate to the Exchange 2007 server. It further stated to pick a new account plan. And when I completed the migration let them know so they can kill my old account.

I replied back thinking that the new rate plan would take effect next July as I just renewed in July. They stated that no, the new plan would be effective at the time of migration and that they would issue me a refund.

So...............

I think I am just going to leave 4smartphone and look for another hosted Exchange provider.

As such I have a few questions.

Should I expect any problems with the nominally priced hosted account that is featured in this forum. And I say that with all due respect to the person that hosts it. According to the message there is a slight fee so I think it's a fair question. What kind of down time (if any) has there been in the last 6 months?

How about mail2web? Do they offer Exchange 2007 and IMAP access?

And finally, I know when I change providers my email is lost. That's fine as I keep it backed up with Gmail and Thunderbird. But what about my contacts and calander? Do they stay on the phone when I delete a AS connection, and then hopefully sync up the first time I sync?

I'm not in much need of using the client OL itself as long as I can use the OWA, and ideally IMAP. As such what are some other providers I can look into?

Thanks

David
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] doody:
I too got the same email and frankly I'm slightly irritated that they are forcing customers off the old platform and onto a higher cost service. I do appreciate that they are upgrading to the latest and greatest, but this way of doing business is rather... unfriendly.

The whole idea of a prepaid service is that you lock in the price for the entire term of the service. You don't see annual travel passes being cancelled and having their price jacked up.

Anyway I'm with you there, I am considering taking my business elsewhere - doing some research now. If you have Outlook installed, you can create a new PST file and COPY all your existing data hosted on the Exchange (mail, tasks, calendar, contacts) into the PST - when you get on your new service you can copy them back. This way you shouldn't lose anything.

I'm investigating 1and1, let me know how your story turns out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] texas:
Got the email today from 4smartphone.

I'm probably going to go with the person on the forums that provides the service.

I'm not worried about my mail as all my mail goes to my Gmail account and I simply forward selected messages to my WM device.

I should then able to copy my pim.vol file on my device and if I lose my contacts and calender just copy the file back and replace the new one.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] doody:
So which provider did you end up going with?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] texas:
I went with the gentlemen on the forums here that provides a service.

Been with him for almost 3 months and I've had no problems at all.

Hi,

I want to root my nexus 6p but I do like OTA updates.

Is it possible to root my device and flash a new kernel or so and then unroot it and keep everything ?

You'd have to revert your recovery back to stock to take an OTA. Just flash the factory images, you get it the moment they come out, and it only takes a few minutes and you have the option of not wiping any data if you wish.

I haven't tried this method.. I just posted it to answer your question.. Personally I wouldn't root using this method because I don't want to unlock my boot loader since you lose DRM-keys (TA Partition) and yes that will affect the low-light camera quality etc... Don't know about lag, but you'll definitely lose some of the premium feel....

If I was you and I didn't want to lose any of the things mentioned above, I would probably wait to see a new method to root without unlocking the bootloader. (Root for locked bootloader) that way you don't lose DRM KEYS and can make a backup of the TA Partition..
