here it is what you need. it will backup your messages, contacts and call logs. dont try to backup apps as the restoring them does not work for me.

wouldn't he need the phone to be working to back up the apps to the cloud?

Hi, thank you for your reply, the problem is that I'm not able to load the phone right now
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matesurano:
Hi there. If i am not wrong, u r unable to boot and u want to restore contacts n messages right? I think one of the options is go to recovery, take a nandroid backup. Now factory reset or flash a working rom and install "Nandroid Manager"(app). Then in this app you have one of the options to restore your contacts and messages. That's it. Good luck.!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepilli:
Hi, thank you for your reply. If I do a recovery back up right now, wouldn't it back up the "screwed phase" and once I used the back up after the clean install, wouldn't it be bad again?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syednawaz:
[MENTION=5131350]Thepilli[/MENTION] i am sorry. i thought your device boot fine when you install cm12 again. And as [MENTION=6080082]matesurano[/MENTION] said try his steps. And i checked it for you as well. you can restore call logs and messages but not contacts.

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

just back up the cm12 rom from the recovery and clean install another rom cm13. in cm13 install the nandroid manager and using it you will have the option to select the backup file of cm12 and there then you will see restore options for messages and call logs.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepilli:
Alright, Thank you, I'll try that

you would not be restoring anything from the old backup. only messages. it will not effect your new rom in any other way.

i just now restored messages from cm13 to stock rom jelly bean with no problem.

[Xposed General] tiagobt:
I am running Xposed on my phone (HTC One M8, Android 6.0, Google Play Edition) and the phone is connected to a Huawei Watch (Android Wear). I only have two modules in Xposed: GravityBox [MM] and Xposed Torch.

The setup was working fine, but one day I stopped receiving notifications in the watch. I verified all the settings on both the phone and the watch, but found nothing that could explain the issue. Sometimes, when I reinstall the Android Wear app on the phone or when I restart the phone, I get a crash report that seems related to Xposed:

View attachment 3680685

(Notice the XposedBridge class in the stacktrace)

The only way I found to get the problem fixed was the following:

Uninstall the Android Wear app in the phone

Disable all modules inside Xposed

Restart the phone

Restore the watch to factory default

Reinstall the Android Wear app

Pair the watch to the phone again

The watch worked fine for a while having Xposed installed and active. I'm not sure what triggered the issue. Maybe some specific setting inside GravityBox.

Do you guys think Xposed might be causing the problem? This is not the first time this problem happens to me. In the first times I had the problem, I ended up restoring my phone to factory defaults.

Thanks!

After some help

The other night my MOJO just reboot itself when I clicked on an App ( KODI ) and since then won't boot past the Mad Catz logo. I hadn't had it long and it wasn't rooted or modified in anyway. I'm looking for some way to do a hard reset either by attaching a keyboard or connecting it to a PC. Any advice is appreciated.
[M.O.J.O. General] kevinthefixer:
Install the fastboot drivers and the TWRP image on a PC, see the development section and the TWRP thread. Connect the booted PC to the MOJO with a USB male2male cord then power on the MOJO. Following the directions in the thread boot the MOJO to the TWRP image and do a factory wipe. If that doesn't do it then reinstall the firmware or a custom ROM.
[M.O.J.O. General] GuestD0561:
I've think I've managed to wipe the OS off my Mojo - I get back into fastboot but it says drivers not found, any idea how I can get back into TWRP as I know it is on the system
[M.O.J.O. General] kevinthefixer:
So far you're good. "Key driver not found" is normal, don't worry about it. Copy the TWRP .img to the same folder ON YOUR PC as the fastboot command. Now it depends on which fastboot you are using but you need to enter a command on the PC like:

fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x0738 boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-mojo.img

See the recovery thread:

http://xdaforums.com/mad-catz-mojo/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-recovery-mad-catz-t2973640

So you're actually booting to an image on the PC, not on the MOJO.
[M.O.J.O. General] GuestD0561:
Thanks - it worked! I managed to reboot into TWRP and then ADB sideload the CM12 build onto my SDCard (it wouldn't let me access the ext sd where all the files were stored). Then recovery was pretty easy. Thanks. However, I'm still having problems with the CM12 build and wifi dropping out.....still that's another story.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] InVez:
Hey Guys,

I just received my S7 Edge Yesterday. I am using a 128GB Evo Sd card. Formatted it on the S7 edge.

I made some pictures with the phone. Storage : sd card.

I even looked in my galery and the pictures were oke.

After some hours i saw that some pictures were with half grey boxes and some had some crash-lookalike burns .

I formatted the sd card again. And still the same thing happens

Even did a camera reset and i did reset the S7 edge.

I dont know what the problem is. Need some help with this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
In the phone dialer type *#0*# and test the camera, including taking a photo. If the same happens again in there it's likely a hardware issue with the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] h3ck:
Have you tried a different memory card as well? The half gray is also a common problem with files writing to memory. It doesn't fully write, half they data is not there. I'd try another card too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NonXtreme:
Might be bad sd card. Try save the picture to internal storage and see whether it did the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] InVez:
Thanks for the tips and advice. Ill try to save the pictures on the internal sd and see what happens.

How I fixed greyed out photo

Bring greyed out photo from gallery. Select the little icon on upper right hand side and quickly pick the photo, quickly select Capture once. If you pick more than once you get another photo on your gallery. Refresh your gallery and look for your photo. If it's okay you can no delete the old photo. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RickieLouise:
I'm having this same issue. I just got a new S7 and transferred all my photos over on my SD card. There were a few random photos that were mostly grayed out with a little bar of the original photo showing. It happened again just now with a photo I took with the S7, though the gray bar was smaller and only covering the bottom of the photo. There appears to be no way of recovering the original photo - not very happy about that. I'll try using device storage for future photos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Mascher22:
I'm experiencing the same issue of arbitrary half gray photos on my S7, but usually after some time goes by after they're taken. I do think it's related to some read/write issue with my SD card but I haven't exactly nailed it down yet.

A workaround is to set your camera to save photos to your device, then sync your photos to a Google Drive folder by going to "Settings" within the Google Drive menu, and turn on "Auto Add". Additionally, if device storage is at a minimum, I then suggest deleting any locally stored copies of all photos once you're satisfied they've been backed up.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magoooood:
Hi,

I'm on the international version of LG G2 (D802) and I'm on the latest stable build of CM12.1 + gapps Stock. I just noticed that I've no badges at all - I mean that little circle in red containing a number showing the no. of notifications for lots of applications e.g. Facebook app (to show missed notifications), Dialer (to show missed calls)..etc. Is there any way to have these back (by tweaking a hidden setting or so) without installing any additional software just to have that simple, yet important thing to come back again? Badges were showing just fine on original stock ROM from LG.

Thanks in advance
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magoooood:
so is it disabled on purpose by the developers of Cyanogen for some reason(s)? and the only way to get it back is by installing a new launcher (Nova) and an addon for that launcher (Tesla)?! i.e. we need 2 pieces of software just to have that?!

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nalas:
Download the 12.1 ROM from ROX or another dev and unpack zip file with ROM - in system/media/audio are the sounds you want.

after this copy this files to your rom on the phone in the same place - that's all (do this via root explorer and you have rooted phone) or if you need only alarms or rings - copy file to your sd card to folders "rings" or "alarms"(even without root).

In sounds settings you can change sounds to copied files :)

i check the imei back then and it was clean even though i coudn't activate it.

i wanted today to update to the 5.0 version i checked the imei again just by luck and i found it Blacklisted --

I had a little chat with "ASHLEY" from Verizon's Live Chat. Apparently (and she told me this after i factory reset my phone) the marshmallow update is getting little patches so that everyone's phone is prepared... a little annoying since i almost got to installing but i had to take my phone off Wi-Fi for 6 1/2 hours while i was at school, and so the update i would've gotten was canceled by verizon or something... I even had downloaded part of it.

Just a little FYI.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] rivencap:
Thank you for the update. I just picked up the phone. I deferred the update when I set up the phone and now I can't get the download back. Now, I most likely know why. I'll wait a day or two. If I can't get the update back, I'll hard reset the phone. Sighs...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] cdowning22:
Verizon's Twitter support just confirmed a hold on the marshmallow update. Any exact date then?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] tonbonz:
I had the OTA update notification on Friday but no wi-fi at work. Got home and the download failed and then got software up to date when checking on the phone. Plugged the phone into my pc Saturday night and the Verizon Wireless Software Update popped up saying an update was available. In less than 20 minutes I was good to go.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] cdowning22:
Except my device NEVER wants to pop-up on the software upgrade assistant, and it's on MTP mode. Any help with that? I'm on Windows 10 too.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jonstrong:
Some have reported the the Verizon software update assistant works if you connect your phone to your pc/laptop via USB 2.0 -- but not USB 3.0. That didn't make a difference for me. We've got 3 Turbo 2's: two of them got both updates successfully OTA. One of them never got it OTA, and still gets nothing when we check for updates. I've tried connecting that third DT2 to my laptop and using the software update assistant - with the phone connected at different times to each of the 4 USB ports on my laptop (3 of them are USB 3.0, 1 is USB 2.0), and I've toggled MTP mode on and off, but no joy: the update assistant never recognizes the phone. However the laptop does, indeed, recognize the phone, and lets me open a file browser window and look at files on the SD card.

Only variable I'm not confident about here: when I connect the phone to the laptop, there's the typical Windows popup that asks what I want to do when this device (the phone) is connected to the laptop. Note: the update assistant is NOT offered: just typical options such as, "transfer media files to PC". Not sure which to accept, I've ignored that prompt -- wondering if perhaps I need to select one of these options in order to complete the MTP connection properly? :confused:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] cdowning22:
None of my USB ports work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, with no results. Unless there is a manual solution available, I guess I'll have to wait through this 2nd straight Verizon branded false alarm. :(
[Droid Turbo 2 General] tonbonz:
You can run it and check for updates manually once it's installed. Just to be clear, when my phone is connected to my pc if I pull down the notification menu on my phone and tap the usb notification there is an option to install software that, when checked, adds a cd installer in windows explorer on the pc to install the Software Update and Repair assistant. [MENTION=4449660]jonstrong[/MENTION] I just ignore the pc popup or select take no action.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] scadilla:

I can not get the Software Upgrade Assistance (SUA) to work on my Desktop PC but was able to get it to work on my wife's Desktop PC. I tried on my laptop and found that the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistance (SUA) works (recognizes the phone) on the laptop's USB2 ports but will not work on the USB3 ports. My wife's PC has USB2 ports and My PC has USB3 ports. All the above computers are running Windows 10.

Based on my testing, it appears that the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistance (SUA) does not work with USB3 ports.

Try using a PC or laptop with USB2 ports.

[Droid Turbo 2 General] gabo_e30:
make sure that your phone does not have USB debugging on. Also make sure you are using OEM cable (from any brand really). COnnect to a USB 2 por and go to www.motorola.com/verizonsoftwareupdatewin (if you have a windows computer) or replace win with mac

Download, install, and run software assistant... unplug your droid turbo 2 a couple of times until the software sees it... then it should work

1. my signature is old... lol

2. don't let your phone lock/ go to sleep while it is downloading
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jonstrong:
For anyone who's still having trouble getting the update on their Droid Turbo 2 - my experience might be worthwhile knowing about:

We've got three DT2's (would have been four, but my son opted for an iPhone). The first two were offered the update when the first big wave came around - before they shut it down a second time; we accepted the 2 step update for those two phones, and they were both successfully updated to Marshmallow over a week ago. The third DT2 however never got the offer, and punching "check for updates" never found the update either -- even as recently as today, March 19.

I had tried connecting the third phone to my laptop via USB -- and made sure to use the USB 2.0 port on my laptop (the other three USB ports are USB 3.0), and made sure the phone was set to MTP mode. Still no joy. Never offered the "CD Install" option on the phone, even though I had checked both MTP mode and Software install on the phone under USB options.

Finally this evening I tried the same on a different laptop, and tried a different USB cable as well. This time, the phone actually offered the CD install option, and was able to prompt the laptop to download and install the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant (VSUA). It was till touch and go for a while: once I fired up the assistant, it still didn't seem to recognize the phone the first several times I tried it. Finally -- I let it sit for a couple of minutes with the VSAU loaded and the phone plugged into the laptop, and this time the phone showed up in the Upgrade window. I selected it and clicked on the upgrade button. I was amazed at how long the download took, as I remembered the "1 of 2" upgrade being pretty small -- with the 2 of 2 being the 1.1GB file.

Finally - the download completed, and the update began. That also took a long time, but I could see the progress indication, so I was encouraged. In the end, this single upgrade completed, and then the Android "upgrading" process began for what I recall to be 40 programs (probably what my daughter had installed on her phone) -- again -- I was surprised at how slow this was, but I made a point of NOT disturbing it.

Anyway - it finished, rebooted, and after this SINGLE update, the phone was all the up to the latest update for 6.0 for the DT2 -- the same version I'm at after doing the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 updates the week before last -- 24.24.11 kinzie_verizon.verizon.en.US . It seems that the VSUA got my daughter's phone there with a single update -- something that surprised me. Maybe there's a new update file out there that does this in a single pass? Don't know.

But -- the take away for anyone still frustrated by not getting the update yet should be: you probably CAN get it, if you're patient enough, and are willing to try a couple of different cables, and possibly different PC's (one of my laptops couldn't deliver the update, but another was somehow able). Seems that it's still on their servers waiting to be downloaded, and VSUA can actually function if you somehow get the magical combo of computer, USB 2.0 port, proper cable, and LOTS of patience and willingness to try something repeatedly.

Jon
