[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
Yes, home is optional (as i read) but i press this 3 buttons. I pressed it in several variations, for example like one user here in xda: "right after it vibrates release the power button only, keep pressing the volume up and home buttons for another 5-10sec as Whosebat recommended..."
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
Home button is not necessary, just vol up / down + power button. I also have the same issue as you. I went to a GSM service earlier today and over there was another S4 with exactly the same issue. Looks like lifespan of our phone reached to an end?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
Just speculating, but: I didnt update to the firmware version, from which you couldnt get back to the earlier versions. The reason would be some safety reasons. I thought about a relation to that for a short period of time.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I think "bump" is the word you're looking for :)

After you flash the stock ROM, does it actually boot into the stock recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
No, i have never seen the stock recovery. I was 2 times in TWRP Recovery, but meanwhile i dont get there anymore. I have no clue why i get after doing exactly the same things into TWRP Recovery and 3 minutes later i dont get there anymore.

I came two times into TWRP with flashing I9505XXUFNA5 - Open Europe - KK 4.4.2, then TWRP 2.8.6.0.

With other Stock ROMs i got never into Recovery Mode.

Please help me :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
So stock recovery doesn't work either?

It's really weird.

Have you tried flashing TWRP using the app Flashify (requires root)?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
Unfortunately i cant start to install apps, because i am caught up in bootloop.

I tried to flash now a GT-I9505-Factory-Firmware-Full-Wipe-DBT with following files, but nothing changes except i get Warranty bit : kernel if i want to start normally without booting into recovery mode.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duke_stix:
Hi all

I would just like to make a suggestion to the cooks on this great forum

would it be possible, particularly when releasing Beta builds to have a post immediately after the initial 'description' post that lists any known bugs please?! it just saves both the cook and anyone considering that rom one centralised place in which to identify any bugs and if anyone has discovered a solution to any particular bug then it would be easier to collaborate to fix the bug rather than having to trawl through hundreds of posts!

just a suggestion, and the work on Hermes is fantastic by the way!

just curious if any of the big cooks have a version of WM6.1 for our beloved hermes yet?!

with thanks,

duke.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
Most cooks out there, especially the more well-known ones, do have a "known bugs" post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] RevealZero:
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 5 on 6.0.1(not rooted). Recently I tried to open an app on my home screen and received the message,'Application Is Not Installed On Your Phone '. I didn't think anything of it and just reinstalled the app. I received this error before on a S4. The problem I had there was that my external SD card was corrupt. But my Note 5 doesn't have external SD card support and it keeps happening now with different apps. I've read that a factory reset will probably fix the issue.. But before I do that, I was hoping that someone might know of a solution for me? I've also cleared all app cache and data in all apps(including Play Store) and nothing seems to help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] RevealZero:
?

Anyone have any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
You probably took ota update and data partition isn't quite right. Save everything off of sd and do a factory reset in stock recovery so it can wipe everything fresh.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdharshane:
Hey guys...

There's a particular problem in my oneplus 2, in which the connectivity issues are at the high. I don't get any signals for both wifi and Bluetooth whenever I switched them on and hence I'm not able to connect to it.

I've even tried updating it to the latest version of Android.

But even now the problems continue.

Do give a solution for this.

[OnePlus X Android Development] DroidFreak32:
Wow amazing! Thanks :D testing it rn.
[OnePlus X Android Development] Jude Aranha:
Previous build was using OnePlus doze imported from OP3, it was found to not be fully compatible with the onyx and caused many useless wakelocks and battery drain. Hence we collectively moved back to onyx doze. :)

[MENTION=6623671]Subhrajyoti Sen[/MENTION]:

Which GApps are recommended for this ROM?
[OnePlus X Android Development] Subhrajyoti Sen:
I would recommend banks gapps.

But open gapps will work too.
[OnePlus X Android Development] DroidFreak32:
Also check out tbo black / clear gapps. Not updated recently but it's really good
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
how's the battery backup and any bugs?
[OnePlus X Android Development] motherninja:
I guess the custom ROM scene for OPX wasn't "hot" anymore since OOS 3.x.x released. I want to try this ROM also, I already downloaded it since 18/10 but haven't flashed it yet because the OOS 3.1.3 + Boeffla kernel are really stable..

But I will create a backup and try to flash it tonight! :good:
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
How much SOT did u get in OOS 3.x.x?
[OnePlus X Android Development] motherninja:
I don't know because I never check my SOT and now my OPX is recharging... However, I can get from 8 AM to around 7 PM with 30% of battery still left.
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
Did u root in oos 3.1.3?Which version should i flash systemless 2.78 supersu or modded?
[OnePlus X Android Development] motherninja:
Yes, rooted using the modded one. But you can use the SR1 for OOS 3.1.3, it is known to fix some bugs in previous SuperSU releases.
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
How's this ROM?
[OnePlus X Android Development] Jude Aranha:
Flash it and see for yourself.
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
Would do, but the thread is inactive so just wanted to know it doesn't have any bugs.
[OnePlus X Android Development] Jude Aranha:
Its inactive because the ROM won't get anymore updates after this.

And its one of the best and most stable ROM's for New Bootloader. Go for it.
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
Thank you for this great rom. Really stable and smooth... Came from latest sultan cm13 and this one is feeling smoother. Camera is good also here, but without 4k video support (comparing with sultan's one).
[OnePlus X Android Development] Subhrajyoti Sen:
Thanks for trying it out. Sultan's CM13 uses his custom HAL which gives the 4K video support. PAC uses the stock HAL.
[OnePlus X Android Development] Fataldose:
Amazing stable rom. So smooth :good: Thanks man :)
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
Yes, i know about the custom hal in sultan's rom ;)
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
Just curious... is the camera HAL here from the latest OOS?
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
Just flashed the ROM. Its pretty smooth.?

Edit:I think its charging slow. Any fix?
[OnePlus X Android Development] Subhrajyoti Sen:
Yes, the HAL is from OOS :)
[OnePlus X Android Development] Subhrajyoti Sen:
A custom kernel should fix the charging :)
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
Which one do you recommend? Thank you.
[OnePlus X Android Development] Tagion:
Arsenic
[OnePlus X Android Development] Subhrajyoti Sen:
Arsenic in case you want a daily driver.

BlackReactor in case you want an upstreamed kernel.
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
Flashed arsenic and it runs great :good:
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
OnePlus has released OOS 3.1.4 -> http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-x/oneplus_x_oxygenos_3.1.4/

[MENTION=6623671]Subhrajyoti Sen[/MENTION] I think 2 points here are interesting: the november security patch and the auto-brightness optimization. It is possible for you to make a new MM build with this 2 changes included? I don't ask for ETA. Thank you!
[OnePlus X Android Development] Jude Aranha:
Custom ROMs are (thankfully) not dependent on Stock ROM updates for Security patches. And we cannot make a new build because the source of PAC ROM is still on October Security patch, because as I said some posts above, the ROM is dead, no more updates.

About Auto-Brightness, the issue was only on OOS, not on custom ROMs.
[OnePlus X Android Development] mieru:
Okie dokie :good:, thanks for your reply.
[OnePlus X Android Development] noonebhargav:
Everything fine now, thanks for this awesome ROM.

Is this problem common? how can I solve this? Thanks a lot!

[Blu Pure XL] Eldarik:
Hi folks,

I have following problem:

My phone's micro-usb port is broken. It is only able to charge the phone, but does not recognize USB data connections anymore.

I have activated full device encryption.

Factory resetting fails with unable to mount data messages (due to encryption?)

Factory reset from within the system fails too because it seems to need stock recovery?

Flashing of stock recovery through TWRP fails too with unable to mount data messages.

Any ideas how i can do a successful factory reset and/or flash stock recovery?

Thanks,

Clemens

Sorry for the wrong section...did read the sticky too late.
[Blu Pure XL] bemolx:
You have to use SPFlash Tool to reflash everything. From what I know TWRP v2.8.6.x doesn't fully support encryption.

Cheers,

bemolx
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogpog:
I've had a KFFOWI since Christmas but have been too busy to do anything with it. Unforutnately, this means that it has been updated to 5.1.4. Now I want to see what I can do with it.

I've read many posts on this excellent forum over the past few days about this device. I thought I'd start by trying to load the custom recoveries CM and TWRP.

I have ADB and Fastboot on a Linux box (I don't use Windows at all). I Can put the device into Fastboot mode; the way I do this is to boot to stock recovery and then choose "reboot to bootloader". I verify Fastboot from my Linux prompt like this:

$ sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
product: FORD
finished. total time: 0.002s

I have downloaded the recoveries and try to boot them like this:

$ sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 boot TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0_adb.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.256s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.258s

However, as you can see, it does not work. I guess that the bootloader has been updated with one that does not have the boot command.

I also found this thread which would appear to confirm my suspicions but I can't find any more recent information about this.

So is this correct, that it's no longer possible to run a custom recovery like this? Or am I doing something wrong ?

I doubt it, but will downgrading to 5.1.2 fix this?

(I also read the KFFB thread and also this one thread about fastboot, but perhaps it is out of date with respect to this?).
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
For the reasons stated in your full post custom recoveries can not be used/booted once FireOS has been updated beyond 5.0.1 via normal OTA (ie: no steps taken to protect bootloader).

As you probably know FlashFire can be used to install custom ROMs and take other actions normally performed in a custom recovery like twrp. However, stock recovery is still the only way to recover the device if the installed rom won't boot or unstable.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogpog:
I see, so the ability to boot a recovery was lost after 5.0.1. I didn't catch that from my reading. I am working on getting FlashFire up and running but I need to get root first. I won't pollute this thread with my efforts in that regard.
