[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WMisiedjan:
Hello XDA Developers,

I have unlocked, installed recoveries and ROMs alot in the past with my older phone, but I cannot seem to get it to work on the OnePlus One.

I just figured out that my device is actually unlocked now using the command: 'fastboot oem device-info':

"

(bootloader) Device tampered: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

(bootloader) Display panel:

"

But I cannot seem to flash a custom recovery, this is what happens when I try. I successfully uploads the img file to my phone, when I clear the cache, reboot and start the recovery, I get the Cyanogenmod Recovery, again!

When I shut down my phone after flashing the recovery, then boot directly into recover my phone stays stuck at the oneplus (powered by andriod screen)

Can someone help me with this?

My devices and current rom:

Windows 10 running on an MacBook Air (smooth af)

OnePlus One A0001: Cyanogen OS: 12.1.1-YOG7DAS2k1

Buildnummer: LMY48Y

Kernel: 3.4.76-cyanogenmod-g9220ae3

Smallband: DI.3.0.c6-00241-M8974AAAAANAZM-1

I hope I gave you guy's enough information and I hope someone can give me some advice on how to tackle this issue. I need TWRP installed so I can flash custom roms and kernels!

Thanks!

when you flash recovery you get OKAY result ? use twrp 2.8.6.0 not above to flash correctly modem firmware (i'm using latest cm nightly recovery and works good too)

fastboot devices

see your device ?

if yes

fastboot flash recovery recovery_file.img

should works
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WMisiedjan:
Thanks for your quick support, I finally figured it out. Some devices have this issue, if someone has this issue they should disconnect usb cable after flashing recovery, turn off the device, hold down the volume down button first, then hold down the power button for a few seconds, then wait until you get booted into recovery. It will then prompt to disable the recovery security that cyagonmod enables.

I am able to flash roms now!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyrus123:
Hello. I know that this question is asked a million times, but answers to them are already obsolete. Currently am looking ( I am sure I am not the only one) for headache-free, stable and fast ROM as my daily driver. I just want to install a ROM, tweak it a little if I have to and be sure it will work me for another year or so (I am to tired to flash 3rd ROM in a row to see it have major problem).

So if someone would post a brief information about ROM you are using, any custom modification, setting tweaking, flashed custom kernel and potential tradeoffs You The Real MVP.

My experencie with Rom's so far:

Archidroid v3.0.2 (kitkat)

Previously I used as a daily driver which really worked nice for me, until I got infamous "google services stopped worked" which I fixed only by turning google location service (making some cool aps unusable) . Shame, it is the best ROM I tried. The only problem I had was for camera sometimes freezing in black screen, but it happened very rarely.

There was suggestion to re-flash this ROM with flashing never GAPS from OpenGAPS project. Tried, but again got "google services stopped worked". I saw some other workarounds I could try, but I want to be sure there isn't anything better before I try it.

Archidroid v3.1.5 (Lolipop)

Based on lollipop, everything works reliably, BUT much slower then on Kitkat version. Though strangely, decreasing dpi to 240 improved performance dramatically. Many users agree that 3.0.2 is still the better one.

Cyanogenmod-13 (Marshmallow)

Looks promising, fast out of the box with some interesting features. However still buggy (torch not working on lock screen, chrome/ radio crashes phone and so on).

So far as I understand best ROM's are based on Kitkat - Lollipop and Marshmallow needs more ram to run effectively then s3 has. So even some developers suggest sticking to older Android versions. I also heard Boeffla kernel is the best one though I didn't try it personally. What makes it so special ?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patr!ck:
Hi there,

I got a 2-year-old german retail Moto G XT1032 with Stock 4.4.4 Kitkat as a daily driver. I've rooted it approx. a year a ago, installed the Xposed-Framework with xprivacy and Gravitybox. But the phone seems to get quite slow with standard applications like WhatsApp or the music player. So i deleted the app-caches of the Google Expericence Launcher and some other applications. Now it's not so laggy anymore, but i think with

a new version of Android it could be a bit faster.

I'd like to flash it with a new firmware. Now i dont't know, which one to choose. I've read that, when i want to upgrade to 5.1 or 6.0, i have to update the bootloader. And with this new bootloader i can't switch back

to KitKat, is that right? Now the question is, should i update to Lollipop or Marshmallow. When Lollipop came out, i've heard that it was quite a buggy mess. There were a couple of bugs, which made it unusable as a daily driver. Can you recommend Lollipop as a daily driver over KitKat? As I see, there are only beta (nightly) versions of Marshmallow out for the XT1032. Are they stable enough for using it as a daily driver?

Thanks

Patrick
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hwyl.Fawr:
1. yes, with a new bootloader you cannot go back to Kitkat. Also keep in mind that you need a recent recovery (TWRP 2.8.7)

2. i can only compare custom roms of KK or LP and i dont see a significant advantage of LP, also KK seemed to have the better memory management

3. another suggesting to your problem: if you dont care about having something "new" you might try a custom KK rom where my recommendation would be SlimKat (overall best and most stable rom i have ever used). That may solve your problems, but if you dont like it you can always go back to stock KK or upgrade
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizxy:
I never used my phone much on KitKat but things u will sacrifice on lp or marshmallow is multitasking (ram management) and battery timing but performance on newer os especially on marshmallow is too good I'm using cm13 nightly 03-01-2016 its so stable that know I don't even bother to upgrade to newer nightly :p its thousand times better than lp I suggest try KitKat ROM still unsatisfied then u only have choice to watch a video of phone running mm then deciding upgrade BTW just use greenify this phone often gets drunk without it

Love this app! Shows you specifically what cellular band you are on (good for making future purchasing decisions so that you can buy a phone with bands X and Y, for example, if you know you're always on those two bands). Also shows you where the nearest cell tower is, which is kind of fun. And it's free! :highfive:

I'm interested in it for my Nexus 6p, but any experience with this pouch is very welcomed.

Great leather Etsy case

Hi,

I bought this from Etsy, it's a great quality case with excellent strong stitching and fits the phone perfectly. It took a couple of weeks to relax so it was easy to get the phone out again but I'd rather it started off too tight than loose, holds the phone and 4 cards perfectly. The seller also has non wallet versions too.

Not sure about their chinglish motto "Get better with age" but it's not printed too large on the case.

I used the search function but couldnt find any answer. I installed TomTom 6.03 on the external memory card. The programm itself is running well, it just can not find any maps. So I downloaded a map-file, but where is the right place to store the map-files?? On the SD-card? Which folder?

THX for support.

each map *folder* should go in the root of the sd card. In addition there should be a VOICES folder I think, and also a ZIP folder containing postcode data for various places (this may be deprecated now i'm not sure)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettla:
Hello! I want to address my issue as clear as i can.

I have this stock LG G3 with android 5.0 LP (Lollipop) that worked really slow and buggy. So i decided to "Wipe the phone" and refurbish it, i thought following the steps of this guide would do the trick (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089)

I looked in my "Settings>About Phone>Software" on my phone, and it said i hade software version "20h-EUR-xx"

I downloaded LGUP and a ".kdz" that i thought would fit my phone. The KDZ i downloaded was "D85520h_00.kdz" as i saw this as the most suitable for my phone.

I then followed the steps "TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM" throughout.

(Sidenote: I didn't have Marshmallow when i started the flash. Could this be the problem? also: I think the KDZ i used in this flash is a LP (Lollipop) not a MM (Marshmallow), though i followed the guide steps that stated "TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM".

Can someone confirm this for me? And could that be the reason for my problem?)

I opened LGUP as ADMIN, my phone was recognized instantly so i proceeded with clicking on the "..." under the tab for "FILE PATH" to open the browser. I was only enable to look for ".TOT" files though i had a ".KDZ" flash file. So i closed LGUP and restarted it, but NOW i checked the UPGRADE option instead of REFURBISH and once again browsed for my ".KDZ". Now i had the option to select my ".KDZ" file, so i selected it and then closed LGUP.

When i started the LGUP program again my ".KDZ" was set as the file path and REFURBISH was also checked. The BIN checkbox was also checked so i proceeded to start the flashing.

The flash went fast up to 8% and then it waited for my phone to restart, Once it had restarted it went straight up to 80% and went pretty slow up to 100% from there.

Everything seemed to have turned out Great! The LGUP program told me the flashing was done and said "click here" in the "STEP" tab where the "progress %" had been displayed.

I clicked where it said "DONE! Click here!" and just sat waiting for about 30 seconds.

But nothing seemed to happen...

i waited 10 more seconds and still nothing happening on the screen of my computer or the screen on my phone. So i picked the phone up and held in the power on button.

Nothing happened, so i held in both volume up and the power button, still nothing, i held all three buttons.... Still nothing, i pulled the cable out. nothing.

Then when i pulled the battery out and reinserted it the screen came to life, giving me a "secure booting error" and then the front led started flashing red and blue.

I NEED HELP WITH THE STEPS OF HOW TO GET MY PHONE BOOTED AND STARTED AGAIN!

THANK YOU in advance!

I have searched for someone that has the same problem but all i can find is solutions for slightly different phones with slightly different problems in one or the other way.

I can get the phone in "Download mode" if that is to any help. I don't know about Recovery mode at the time of writing!

As a sidenote: I don't know if i had usb debugging set on or off when i flashed the kdz.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George Malas:
What it your model number ? Are you sure that you have the international version (d855) ? Check it by removing the battery and looking next to the S/N . If you have the D855 model you should see LG-D855. I am asking this because you may have downloaded a kdz file for another model. And why use LGUP?...the best way is to use a custom recovery like TWRP (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129) It is much easier to install roms with TWRP simply by flashing flashable zips.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RapHaeL_4_4_4_:
Boot into download mode and follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

Try to use the TOT method, but if you really need the kdz you can try to download the kdz again and reflash the phone (use CSE flash because MM is a major update!).

Maybe it was a bad download or a bad flash.

People use LGUP to flash stock rom/recovery/modem/etc... and keep the bootloader locked while TWRP is for custom rom
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettla:
My model number is D855 yes, i already double checked that.

The KDZ i used was "D85520h_00.kdz" it seems to me that it was the right KDZ because of the first part in the filename "D855(20h_00.kdz)"

I used LGUP because it said in the guide i followed that LGUP could flash both TOT and KDZ, it seemed really easy too! :)

Thanks for helping and the tip about TWRP, i will try that later! :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettla:
I followed your advice to follow the guide. As i could not find a TOT file for my specific application and i already tried the LGUP program for flashing my "D85520h_00.kdz" KDZ. But this time i tried the KDZ method in download mode instead of using the TOT method and LGUP, and it worked!

The flash turned out good and my phone is fresh again, thanks!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettla:
No i did not use the 8974 dll from codefire. I used the dll that was supplied with LGUP in the guide, i think it was the 8994 dll :)

Edit: The LGUP method did not work for me with the 8994 dll... So maybe it could have worked with the 8974?

Either that or i had a faulty kdz on my first try :P
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navuhodonosor:
I think that the .dll that came with LGUP is for G4 so codefire provided G3 version. That was probably all of your problems.;)

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgalal:
I am dealing with a large number of SM-T530 tablets and a some of them have been showing signs of memory corruptions after a few months of usages. The symptoms varied from:

Stuck at first samsung logo, then going to Download mode with "emmc read failed" error

Stuck at second samsung logo

Not charging, not switching on (dead)

Sending the devices to Samsung service, they said it requires motherboard replacement

Examining the devices that are still switching on, by going to recovery mode, I found the data partition corrupted (lots of IO errors)

As for the dead devices, I was able to boot them off an external SD-card, and by examining the internal EMMC I found the bootloader partitions corrupt. In some cases I was able to rewrite those partitions via dd or odin, and the devices are back working, in other cases they became not even writable (IO error), although I was able to reflash other partitions on the same EMMC (recovery, system ..etc).

Another interesting find is about the devices which had only the userdata partition corrupt (stuck at second samsung logo), I changed the system to mount userdata to an external Sdcard partition, which means all future writes were going to the external SD card. Yet, after a while their bootloaders still got corrupted badly (not writable). I initially thought maybe there were too many writes into userdata that is shortenening the EMMC life, but this should discard that assumption.

I've done a lot of research (very useful information by [MENTION=3036272]Oranav[/MENTION] [MENTION=4372730]E:V:A[/MENTION] [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] [MENTION=2872010]danarama[/MENTION] [MENTION=1299673]sfhub[/MENTION])and the closest symptoms I've come to is the description of Samsung eMMC secure erase bug/ Superbrick bug

But I do not think it's the case because:

- The device does an OTA update in recovery just once, and the update binary only executes a delete_recursive command, and the device is used fine for several months afterwards.

- During the usage, the device never does an OTA update, and never goes into recovery mode again, so unless android automatically issues a secure erase for some reason, then it never happens

- The EMMC model is a Toshiba, which in fact is listed in the same section as non affected by the bug

The EMMC name is 016GE2 (Toshiba), which supposedly is not affected. I'd appreciate ANY helps or pointers to how to diagnose this, or how to even manually reproduce the problem on working devices.

These are Qualcomm MSM8226 devices, which means they go to QDL mode when they're dead and connected via USB, in case there is something to do from there.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
t,

Thanks for confirming a debrick image will function :good:

okay, the sm-t530nu && sm-t330nu are both Model: MMC 016GE2

From what i can see so far this could be "fixable" via firmware maybe,

I have both these tabs and abuse them heavily, so thoughts are, firmware version, could be something app-related skunking data partition,

the devices may need /data partition reformatted through a recovery. If you did make the jump to LP that could be more likely, as well as incompatible data leftovers from previous api level. Take one of the dead ones and start by wiping/reformatting data through recovery and work from there, reinstalling your apps with no "leftovers" and so on and so forth.

m

if it is the chip itself then the tab is probably doomed.

This does seem to be more than likely a firmware issue...
