[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_randomizer85:
Not for what I want to do, I want 4.4.4 Android installed because for certain apps, performance is way better than it is in Lollipop. Emulator apps for example, perform way worse on 5.x.x than in flavor of KitKat. I've spoken and tested directly with said app developers regarding this very issue. That's why I'm curious on how to do it. If I ask for help, I should at least expect some level of advice on how to go about it instead of being discouraged. Just saying.

Also, this thread is about 4.4.4, not 5.1.1, which I'm not a big fan of. If you want me to show the thread/forums on which these developers are calling Lollipop worse when it comes to performance degradation, I'd be more than happy to show you guys.

Not trying to be rude, just trying to point out the fact that older versions of Android have less performance related issues than newer OSes, I have a 4.1.2 Android device and am willing to compare the the two.

http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/stock-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881

I did it because Hellraid doesn't work properly on 6.0 (dont know about 5.x) and Carmageddon crashes on the K1's official 5.1.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
Can you charge your tablet while playing in console mode (or at least no disscharge)?

Everything elow OTA 3.0 should work with quickcharge. Do you know it it also works with the k1?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_randomizer85:
What do you mean by "why"? I told you why, Lollipop has far worse performance for emulator apps than KitKat 4.4.4, I told you in my post, please read what I said about it. I can show what the developers have said regarding how newer Android OSes are getting worse and worse with gaming performance. That's why. What are you trying to ask?

I need 4.4.4 KitKat on my K1 tablet that I flashed with TWRP and ADBTools/Fastboot.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
I've never tried console mode. Maybe I will experiment with it later.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
I flashed kitkat on my k1 now. It worked and all(was able to play trine 2 etc) but then it just freezed up and now it freezes as soon as its booted up (lockscreen) And power + volume down doesnt get me into bootloader/recovery anymore...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmenHTX:
Power + volume up for bootloader

Shield device cant be hard bricked, cuz you never touch bootloader
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
yup, got it. Tablet freezes as soon as gplay services are updated...

edit: well, play services doesnt seem to be the problem. The tablet just randomely seems to freeze. Its a shame because it was infact CHARING while playing games with kitkat..
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
I haven't done much with my tablet since I put KitKat on it yesterday, but no freezes here yet.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
yes I did.

I tried flashing the other one from the page (nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-wifi-update1_2_1.zip)

Did you let it boot up fully once before flashing TWRP?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
Who said anything about TWRP?

I Flashed the firmware with flash all bat (like I did many times) Then it rebooted to Nvidia logo than the recovery menu appeared with "no command" then I rebooted and after that only black screen and APX mode.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmenHTX:
Are you able to run fastboot mod ? To emergency flash stock 5.1.1 ?

Im going to try myself, im on 6.0 now and i can charge my tab while playing but performance ix limited in setting for 2 corex max 50-60% cpu speed so i get 1/4 performance. But 99% gzmes run smothly at full details lol
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
of course not
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmenHTX:
Turn of your tablet, push and hold volume down and connect usb cablet, check windows device manager and install APX drivers LINK. Then push adb reboot bootloader command or for adb reboot recovery
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
It doesnt work... Installing the drivers doesnt even work. Did you try it? There is no apx driver for the tablet.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_randomizer85:
Well, it doesn't sound like it's all it's cracked up to be, the user you're quoting is stating it doesn't work and could be a permabrick.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
Yup, it is. Talking about "this device cant be hard bricked" ;)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_randomizer85:
But aren't you the one saying that it's not working for you though? Sounds a lot like "if you use this, you're screwed forever". Now I REALLY don't know. *sigh* Didn't you say the drivers didn't work? Or that 4.4.4 couldn't be installed? I don't find that very heartening.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
by "Yup, it is" i meant that my device is broken now, even tough another user said that its im possible by flashing ... I dont recommended doing it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
I had 6.0 on my K1 when I flashed to 4.4. It works fine. I don't understand what is happening with Motawa88's tablet. I don't know what would cause it to not be able to get to the bootloader. Corrupted partitions maybe?

All that I did was go to the bootloader and run the fastboot commands as in Nvidia's flash-all.bat. I then rebooted and it booted into 4.4 (NV's 1.2.1 release).

I've never used APX so I can't really help with that...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motawa88:
thats exactly what I did. I didnt "use" apex. Its the only thing that "works" right now, though its useless because there is no apx driver for the tablet to fix it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
I didn't mean to say you used APX. But I've never used it for any tablet so don't know what you need to do for restoration with it.

How long have you had your tablet? I wonder if this could actually be caused by some kind of defect. I also wonder about the NV kill switch being a possibility.

http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/help/shield-tablet-stuck-apx-mode-black-t3074446

So it sounds like downgrading may be risky indeed, but the reason is a mystery....
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmenHTX:
Did you try to hold power button for 30s ? and then try to enter fastboot mode

I just re-flashed to 5.1.1 , then i push restart at fastboot and my device stay black. I wasnt able to turn it on, or enter fastboot mode until i hard power it off

you can allways RMA and say that device brick on OTA update to 6.0

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] CoolkingCivic:
Hi Fellows,

After seeing wonderful things an Android Head unit can do in a car I decided to get one for me as Christmas gift :). Got it from ebay (this unit got to ebay and type in 161852865229 on search bar) on 23rd Dec installed it on 24th booted the unit for the first time at about 7pm (Night Time) and fell in love with it.

UNTIL tomorrow morning 25th on a sunny bright day when I was not able to see most of the screen contents (Menu Options, videos) due to the glare from the sun :( or out side light. I maxed out the brightness setting but it did not help.

I thought if I can root the unit and install rooted apps may be they can help but nothing. Or may be I did not find right app yet to increase screen brightness.

Help

Can someone please help me give a solution or a way to increase screen brightness even more than setting brightness? I don't mind making hardware fix too.

Thank you,

CoolkingCivic.

[HTC Desire 500] builtonRock:
Is there a way of getting S-OFF for this device? I am having major problems without it...

Okay, so I'll start at the beginning. Once upon a time (two days ago), I bought a Desire 500 from ebay that was stuck at the bootloader screen. It arrived today and I have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, but I cannot flash recovery with fastboot. It seems to accept the flash on my computer, but when I try to enter recovery the phone just hangs. I have tried to flash the zip with fastboot, but the error message:

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

keeps coming up. AFAIK this is because I don't have S-OFF, but I should still be able to flash recovery.

Can anyone help?

EDIT - OK, so rumrunner can S-OFF it, but you have to have a ROM installed to use it...
[HTC Desire 500] builtonRock:
I don't understand....

I literally don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've even found the ROM with the correct CID and tried to flash it through fastboot and RUU mode but it's not working.

Somebody help please... I have tried searching for the answer...

EDIT - I have flashed the correct CWM for my hboot and it has hung on:

Entering Recovery...

with the white HTC screen. It has been like this for ten minutes...
[HTC Desire 500] kiaheyrati038:
rumrunner didn't s-off my dual desire500.

it's fully rooted

has not busybox n i wanted to s-off my phone in order to push busybox in it.

any idea?
[HTC Desire 500] DeadPhoneRising:
Dead phone

First of all in order to install the original firmware (so called stock rom) your device needs to be in locked status. Other than that :

I also wanted to s-off my phone which is also stuck both on HTC screen and when trying to enter the recovery. Many articles and threads are saying you need to enable usb debugging in phone options but if you are phone can not load the android os and the corrresponding menu, applying this setting it is not possible. Therefore you can consider your phone is nothing but a flashlight at the moment.

Regarding my searchs our phone's emmc is corrupt or needs to be reprogrammed or something like it. It is not possible to load the official firmware using RUU files or any other custom ROMs.

Hi all

After a spell with a blackberry, I am testing a HTC Advantage X7500

I've upgraded it to WM6 using the Rom available on the HTC site, but have read here that the Dopod rom is better - am currently downloading it.

I use Freeza's BeastMode kernel for root; no Gear VR issues here.

With that said, I'm reasonably sure you have to run a TouchWiz-based custom ROM for it to work, since I doubt the AOSP ROMs floating about have the needed kernel and other tweaks required for Gear VR to work. If by some chance they DID find a way to make 'em work, though, I'd certainly like to know!

Can you please share your steps to make it working with custom ROM?

1. Flash ROM

2. Flash Gear VR package

Thats it?
[Samsung Gear VR] lukasz:
This depends which ROM you plan to flash...

I use not-i V17.1 and this rom does not need any special modifications towards GearVR - the only problem I had was with the rom itselves - I got in the bootloop after initial configuration reboot , and the remedy for that was to flash different kernel - I flashed N910C_N910H_Suemax-kernel-Lite-v1.1_Stable.zip in TWRP and phone booted well, I have also flashed xposed, restored all my data using Titanium - good quide is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60705908&postcount=1767 then I have connected the phone to GearVR , setup started, completed and... ready to go!

AFAIK on the DittoNote5 rom You have to flash rom, then the additional package (in the posts just after initial post)

Generally speaking - read several pages on the front of the planned rom thread, and most of the pages from post announcing current rom version...

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Not disagreeing with you but there's even less development for the SM-T337A, not that you would be able to use its firmware on the SM-T237P.

At least theoretically if you have deodexed you can install xposed and use any number of xposed mods
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeferoz:
Thanks, but that is not an actual deodexed firmware, it's missing the entire system folder so no system apps, priv-apps, framework. Also, what do you think of this, does it mean that the we can flash a T335 ROM on the T237P? http://xdaforums.com/tab-4/general/root-sm-t237p-t2849224/page2

I want to first receive the T237P, see what firmware is on it, if 4.4.2 and a 5.1.1 is available OTA then I can try to copy the firmware from the logcat and see if I can do anything to it like a full deodex.

Thanks again.

No. I guarantee you cannot flash a t335 rom on a t237p. No 8.0 inch rom will work on a 7.0 inch model. Cfautoroot just messes around in the recovery partition, that's much different than an entire rom

Hi Guys,

I rooted my phone, for making a backup of an important app and i removed the root after that. Now the 6.0 OTA is coming (i guess soon), but i noticed my root counter is on:

ht tp://snag . gy/8Hrtt.jpg

So i guess i have to reflash a stock rom from kdz, right?

My phone's version info:

SW Version Info: D85520j-216-30

SW Original Version: LGD855-AT-00-V20j-GLOBAL-TMO-OCT-27-2015

Factory Version: LGD855AT-01-V20j-216-30-OCT-27-2015

I found a "D85520i_00.kdz" stock rom using LG CSMG Tool. My question: will the rom „correct” itself to my carrier after flashing? What i mean under "correct", is that my current (stock) rom is V20i-216-30. It’s a Hungarian T-Mobile SIM locked rom. So the when i’m about to switch back to stock rom (after using custom rom),

if i flash this rp, (D85520J_00 (from LG CSMG Tool)) will it be the same: hungarian T-Mobile SIM locked ? I don’t want to lose warranty, that’s why i’m asking.

Thanks is advance,

Tom
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj69holland:
If you had to use your specific IMEI number to get the .kdz, then it is indeed specific for your device.

Apparently if you go back to 'factory' stock using official methods, it should remove root and reset the root count.

if you are still not sure, try a search here on XDA, there are quite a few tutorials to guide you.

Good luck.

Hi guys. Some days ago I rooted my Note 10.1 LTE (P605). Now I was trying to use Clean Master to disable apps autostart at boot (needs root permission). First time I try disable an app it starts obtaining root, but it cannot. I tried even inside Supersu app, but I can't give Clen Master the root.

I'm sure the tablet is rooted because I disabled apps with titanium backup, I use seeder and I checked if it was rooted with Root Checker Pro. I even installed busybox.

May it depend on SELinux enforcing (SELinux Mode Changer doesn't work because of Knox).
