[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
Can the HTC utility restore a phone in this state, and not lose s-off? I put the external SD in the phone, with the nandroid I did today, and am trying to transfer it into the bare file system, where should I put it. Why can't TWRP just see the nandroid on the external? WIll the nandroid be of any value to me at this point?

When I try to do this:

6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.

Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)

7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :

TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x

it tells me "cannot copy system.ext4.win000" "it's file size is larger than the device limit"

So do I need to re partition somehow? How would I do that? How can I find, and post, what the filesystem layout is now if more info is needed?

I have the TWRP backup on the external SD, but restore won't see it either.

Or what about the Hasson2000 toolkit to push an RUU to it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
Sorry guys, I still need help. I try to do adb shell, but can't seem to get root (su) . Because of this I am afraid of moving forward. I have changed my CID to GOOGL001 using HASOON2000's toolkit as I've decided I might as well go full goog since I'm at this point. I think my MID 0P6B11000 is OK, as it's mentioned in graffixnyc/Enewman17's GPE thread, correct? I've downloaded the MM H11 and it's waiting, but I'm afraid to move forward with the root problem better explained in the post above. Am I overly worried?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No .. while in TWRP you just run adb shell, no need SU because while in TWRP it's already rooted ..

so

adb shell

~ # <[6n

then paste in the code to change MID then type exit, exit

If you want to run the EU WWE RUU that I linked above, you also need to change the CID .. I suggest a SuperCID 11111111 then later you can run anything that you like as long has you have the correct MID for the RUU that you're going to install.

Now .. since you changed the CID to Google CID and intended to install a GPE RUU .. read through the thread that you linked .. can't help much .. maybe someone else will help you for the GPE conversion.

Still I suggest, instead of running a Google CID ... change it to SuperCID so you don't have to every time change the CID when you decide to run other RUU.

EDIT :

I just remember something .. there is a RUU zip for Taiwan HTC__621 that you can use (but you need to put back the CID to HTC__621 (the original CID) or make it SuperCID 11111111

The steps are the same as I posted before. You need to use htc_fastboot.exe and follow those fastboot commands to install a RUU zip.

Or if you have a microSD card, you can rename the RUU zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on your microsd. On fastboot, select hboot .. it will scan the 0P6BIMG.zip and ask whether you want to update, volume up to update. Once completed, remove this 0P6BIMG.zip from your microsd.

Later you can do all the OTA to the latest.

Download 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_SECURITY_hTC_Asia_TW_1.54.709.4_R_Radio_1.15.2133156.UA14G_20.18n.4096.05_release_358414_signed_2_4.zip here : http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
Well as I said above I decided to try the full GPE RUU, so I followed these instructions. I used hasoon2000's toolkit to change the CID, my MID was compatible with the GPE. I then fastboot bootloader and:

Method 1

*ADB / Fastboot*

First, make sure you have the path to adb and fastboot setup in your system environment variables

When you open a command prompt, open it in the folder the zip is in. Hold shift, Left Mouse click, open command prompt here.

1. Rename the RUU.zip to something short and easy like RUU.zip

2. adb reboot bootloader "press enter" Wait till phone reboots into fastboot

3. fastboot oem rebootRUU "press enter" Wait till the phone is in RUU mode (black screen with HTC logo)

4. fastboot flash zip RUU.zip "press enter"

*You will get the following message: FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

*RUU mode will reboot,

*Now run the same command again,

5. fastboot flash zip RUU.zip "press enter"

6. fastboot reboot-bootloader "press enter"

7. Select hboot, Do a factory reset in recovery. To enter the recovery menu when greeted by the Android with an exclamation, Hold Power button and click Volume UP.

8. Done, reboot system.

It took a long time for the ROM to install, but I was happy to see the Google splash screen rolling along.

Overall a bit scary as I worried about potential partition issues, but I could see the naked filesystem poking around in TWRP, and knew it wasn't a brick because I got the HTC splash screen and TWRP. I'm not totally in love with the GPE right now, as I miss the Nova launcher layout (fixable, installing now), and I can't toggle data with a homescreen widget (unfixable, now 3 clicks with dropdown...first world problems!!). Bottom line, be careful with what you wipe in TWRP! Thanks to you ckpv too!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don Mar'zïal:
Hi everybody. I have a KingZone K2 mobile, which works fine. It got a MT6753 SoC and 3GB RAM. He runs on Android 5.1, but i currently use a custom ROM, with no major modifications compared to stock one. It's principally for TWRP recovery and root.

I'm really satisfied by this phone but I can't install Google Play Games due to 505 error. After few research i found it's because of duplicate permissions. So i tried adb installation, and i get this :

So i know that the problem comes from com.google.android.gms package. It's the one for Google Play Services.

Do you have any idea to install Google Play Games app, whithout delete com.google.android.gms and Play Services ?

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mifritscher:
Hi,

just a big warning: Android (nightly CM13) destroys the data of the COMPLETE SD-Card, if it is partitioned and you choose only a partition (can be seen by the size) in the GUI!!!

In my case I choosed a 4 GB partition created for it, but instead of just using the partition it repartitioned all of the sdcard to GPT. The real bad thing is that after doing this, it seems to overwrite every single byte of the sdcard, so data recovery is simply inpossible. It doesn't even do this with random data (which would be at least cryptocally helpfull), but with 0xFF - why the heck?!

Thanks of a backupped SD-card I've lost almost no data, but it will take me another 3 hours to fix that **** (I had e.g. a complete linux on it which needs to be updated which needs it time on the smartphone)

In my opinion, silently killing the complete sd-card instead of just sticking with the choosen partition is a very, very bad thing.

In combination with all of the confusion with the external SD, the clumsy userland (Abstraction Layer over Abstraction Layer over just another Abstraction Layer) and the enormous misuse of every kind of ressource (Storage, RAM etc.) I'm honestly wondering if it would better to simply try to port a plain userland Linux on it...

Best regards,

Michael
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
Is it a CM13 peculiarity or a MarshMallow thing?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
The GUI clearly indicates it is formatting the card... I guess it would only format the FAT32 partition previously? I'm not surprised that the GUI would blow away the entire card, that would be my expectation at least when formatting the SD card (especially when using this new 'adoptable' paradigm).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Peter D.:
Good question.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Hmm, first attempt at a post failed. Apologies for any duplication...

I recently discovered the same problem myself.

My 64GB uSDcard had an MBR partition table. The first partition on the card, *and* first entry in the partition table, was formatted FAT32. It has to be that way if portability is desired. The second partition was formatted ext2, for link2SD, and the third had an empty ext2 filing system on it. It worked well on CM 12.1.

Experimenting with CM 13, three dialogues were offered - one for each partition. Very good. It was a little bit hard to work out which message related to which partition, but I worked it out, and I knew what I wanted. Leave the first and second partitions alone, and format the third for encrypted adoptable storage. I also smelled a bug. Backing up a 64GB card over a USB version 1 link is tedious, but I'm glad that I did it.

Start again, accept the first partition as shared, accept the second partition as shared, format the third partition for adoptable storage. That is NOT what it did. It did not just format the one and *only* one partition that I authorized formatting. It did not just format all three partitions. It did not just delete all partitions and write new partitions. It deleted the MBR partition table and wrote a completely different GPT (Gnu Partition Table). The GPT is much better than the MBR partition table in every way - except backwards compatibility.

How do you create a partition type FFFF outside of Marsh Mellow?

GPT with FAT32 on partition 1, ext2 on partition 2, and a few Gig of random stuff after that does not work.

The next attempt will be an MBR partition table (need that for compatibility), FAT32 on the first partition (needed), ext4 (or ext3, or ext2) on the second partition (needed for link2SD), and blank partitions of the appropriate size for the third and forth partitions. The MBR scheme does not support LABELing partitions like GPT does, so I can't do that. Filing systems can have LABELs under either partitioning scheme, but that will have to wait until CM 13 formats partitions 3 and 4. I don't expect it to work.

It is also technically possible to have a hybrid system with MBR and GPT, but that is generally considered evil, and I don't expect it to work, so I won't try that.

Peter D.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

I seem to have stuffed up the threading. Sorry. I'm new here.

The GUI clearly *MIS*indicated formatting when partitioning was coming. There is a big difference. It was not really surprising, but it was disappointing.

Remember that the CM crowd are the ones who are likely to have been using things like link2SD and to have interesting partitioning schemes. The target users are geeks who do things like putting the operating system and user data on different partitions, not Windows users who are afraid that the computer will crash if there is a picture of a penguin on the mouse mat.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milaann57:
Dear xda community,

I've rooted all my previous devices before in order to disable bloat, make them faster and to block add's.

The Note 5 (n920c) however is the first device i'm happy with stock.

I've upgraded to MM (UAE stock) and while it is much snappier/faster, android OS keeps draining my battery (Knox = 0)

The things i've tried are: Factory reset, clear cache, don't install any apps, disable bloat but the max SOT is 4h (light use).

So my question is:

Will rooting, installing TWRP and using SkyHigh kernel improve battery life and increase SOT?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] return99:
it is personal preference to personal using. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milaann57:
Rooting definitely is, I was just wondering if installing a custom kernel (SkyHigh) would improve battery life in common.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milaann57:
Thanks for the answer, but I've already disabled everything using Package disabler Pro.

I think i will take my chances and just install custom kernel and recovery.

The only downside on doing this, is that the resale value drops massively here in the Netherlands.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crssh:
yea, i was on the same boat. note 5 is great with no root. but it can feel limited if you've always rooted your previous phones. For best battery life, I would suggest custom roms. That was the best thing for it.

I like my n5 enough to skip upgrade this year. Acutually I’m kinda at a point where upgrading phones is losing its appeal. I’m actually considering using my n5 until it breaks. You know, like anything else I use. Seems like only thing I buy even though it’s not broken, is a phone. And the high of a new phone only last for a short time, then I want another one. Just doesn’t seem right anymore. Getting old maybe. :o Only thing that worried me about N5 was the non-removable battery, and my previous Samsung phones battery usually performed bad after 1 year, but always could just buy another one and drop it in. BUT I saw a diy video of how to replace the N5 battery. That’s the only reason why I bought my N5. If it was pretty much impossible to replace the battery, I would’ve never bought this phone. So for me after using my N5 until it breaks, the resale value isn’t gonna be that much of a difference whether knox 1 or 0. That’s why I rooted. If you’re gonna upgrade this year to N6 or other phones, then it might be a harder decision. I would buy something else that doesn penalize you forever for rooting. Yea, listing your phone as knox 1 when selling is gonna be much harder, unless you sell it for much cheaper. That was my thought, too.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMadOne:
I should preface this with I don't mean any offense.. but I find it quite hard to believe you were just "using my Moto X Pure phone for a while and shut down and when I tried to power it on again it was stuck on the logo screen ". Did your battery die? If that's the case you need to hook it up to a charger for a while (30min-1hr) and then unplug it and then try to turn it on. I don't believe quickcharge works in the base states of the phone so it may take a while to get sufficient charge to actually boot android on the phone.

If your phone "suddenly" doesn't boot then 1(or more than 1 I suppose) of a few thing have happened. #1 your bootloader is corrupted (unlikely) #2 your kernel/boot is corrupted. #3 your system partition is corrupted(or you used root and did something bad, or flashed something not quite right with twrp) or #4 you have a hardware failure. Hopefully it isn't #4.

If you're unrooted then I bet your phones battery died and needs some time on a charger before it will fully boot again... or worse you have an actual hardware problem (hopefully not)

if you are rooted then maybe your kernel or system has been screwed up.. However, It's very unlikely even with root that either of those thing "just happened" though. You would have had to be messing with something in the boot and/or system. If that's the case tell us what you were doing.

If you are rooted though... your bootloader is unlocked. So grab the "factory image" for your phone and boot to the bootloader and completely reflash the phone. You can try not doing the "erase userdata" to keep your installed apps/settings, or just flashing boot and system and seeing if it works... but if it still doesn't work then nuke it all from orbit and start again.

[MENTION=7378748]nxtime[/MENTION] posted a link in the previous post with some instructions.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DejektedZ76:
No joke, I was actually on snapchat for a while and it randomly shut down. I initially tried to turn it back on and it was getting stuck on the boot screen. First, I wiped my cache partition through recovery and it didn't work. Then I factory reset my data and same result. I left it on the charger until it was 100% and tried again, still nothing.

I haven't rooted it or tried to at all so I'll have to rule out #3, out of the other three which one could be the most likely?

If it isn't a hardware failure (sorry for being such a huge noob), should I restart bootloader in recovery or unlock my bootloader and reflash the software by downloading factory image?

I talked to motorola and they said they will issue a replacement, but I figured if it's a software problem then I could reflash it..so there's another option but I live outside the U.S it's gonna take while to process it.
