[Chromebooks] rickyoswaldiow:
SOLVED The problem was that dev_boot_legacy and dev_boot_usb had been disabled. Without getting into ChromeOS there seemed to be no way to set them until I found a guide titled "Workaround for battery discharge in dev-mode" (I cannot post links yet). It worked like a charm and I've just booted into Linux Mint off USB.

I've been running Linux on my Acer C720 since day one and I love it, but a recent series of events has left me locked out of it. I'd love to get it running again but I cannot figure out a way back in. I'll break down a short history and recent events.

Acquired C720 and unlocked developer mode.

Installed several flavors of Debian, completely removing ChromeOS from the SSD, eventually settling with Arch Linux.

After enjoying Arch for a year decide to try out Qubes.

Something fails during Qubes installation.

Boot into a Debian live environment from USB. Debian cannot see my SSD.

Try a few different distros from USB, but fdisk et al. cannot see my SSD.

Now I highly doubt that Qubes broke my SSD. It was probably already faulty but my Arch install was chugging along and not using the bad sectors. This is where I think I locked myself out, I don't remember the exact order of things but I re-enabled OS verification at the boot screen, and attempted to run the ChromeOS recovery from a USB. The ChromeOS recovery also failed. I put the SSD in my desktop and confirm that it was indeed dead.

So now I have a Chromebook with OS Verification enabled and no SSD to restore ChromeOS on. Bummer. But I figured I could try some things, so I booted into recovery mode with Esc-Refresh(f3)-Power and hit Ctrl+D at the Recovery Screen, success! I was able to disable OS Verification. But this has not solved my issue...

When I boot I can press Ctrl+D to be taken to a screen that tells me Chrome OS is missing or damaged and to insert a recovery USB. If I insert a USB loaded with Linux I am told "The device you inserted does not contain Chrome OS." I have no m.2 SSD to put into the chrome book to recover it and start the process from a virgin state.

What I'd like to do at this point is use the Chromebook running my OS from a USB stick, at least until I can afford a new SSD which will not be for some time. Is there any way for me to do this?
[Chromebooks] Seraph08:
have you tried Chrubuntu?
[Chromebooks] rickyoswaldiow:
I have, but I have no interest in keeping ChromeOS around. The problem is solved anyway.

while upgrading to WM6, my dopod 900 turn black... now cannot turn one... anyone got any advice what to do??? i try to hardreset, when i press 0 to clear it turn black again...

can someone pls tell me what to do..

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Drongo:
I have had this happen too

I also have had this happen several times.

The device seems to return to bootloader mode.

If you look at the screen carefully in bright light, you will see Bootloader vX.X

Just reflash with another ROM that you know is good.

Use Jwrightmcps ROM and select the dopod 900 link

Here is a copy of the link.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] longnguyen30:
saferty please unlock SIM/CID before upgrade new ROM.

then take out sim and storage card.

- make your PDA in bootloader mod.

- unselect usb connecting in activesyn

upgrade a new ROM.

be careful: do not turn off power and disconnect cab during upgrading

Hey, I'm new to XDA and i was trying to install Xposed for almost a week now. I have no experiences with my phone since a buddy of mine was the one who rooted and installed recovery. i do know how to access it (TWRP 2.8.7 iirc). my problem is i can't install the xposed zip file i got from xda that is named like sdk22arm.zip. at first i can't transfer it to my internal memory. i tried the file extension change, it did work. but when i tried backing up my file it keeps saying this E:unable to mount system. i tried clicking the system one in the mount button but it doesn't work. i checked most of what i can find but i couldn't install the zip file so this might be my last resort :crying: anyone can help me? :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagar006:
Try to find out how your phone is rooted from your friend.. It might be be by using kingroot.. If so, twrp might install but doesn't work full.. If rooted by kingroot, go to Play store and download/install Supersu-me, which will overwrite kingroot and give better results..

Also, you dont mention which ROM you are on.. Xposed sdk22 is for LP 5.1.1.. sdk21 for LP 5.0 and sdk23 for M..

i want to try installing the firmare ATT_11.10.8.16 from the external SD but i didn't find that version of firmawre. i tried installing 11.10.8.7 but that doesn't work in my phone

if you had that version of firmware could you make a backup and send it to me a link to download? thanks

I just use the ASUS Flash Tool to change my Padfone X T00D from ATT_11.10.8.16 to the UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-11.10.7.11-user.zip due to it having crashing problems.

Now if it is stable I will flash it with UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-13.6.5.35-user.zip next.

Was so simple for me, first time flashing an Android.

Its no long Branded in ATT in the firmware, but my SIM still works.

[HTC Desire Eye] bchooker:
Ok, I have the HTC Desire EYE (obviously) from AT&T (standard, not unlocked). I'm having storage issues with my internal storage. It says I have 14.04Gb (as of now) and that's after I went through my apps and moved the ones that I could to my SD card. It seems as though every time my phone updates the apps it moves them back to my internal storage...other than that, I've disabled or deleted as many stock apps as I could and this is still what I'm left with (and yes, all of my downloads go to my SD card by default). There's no option for screenshots to download to SD card by default, though. Any help is appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Meinsss:
Alright, so I've been using my S7 edge (SM-G935F) for around 930 hours so far without restarting and installing the new update that came out a few days back.

Since I didn't restart my phone quite a long time I experienced that it's not that smooth as it is normally. For example the gallery when opening an album isn't smooth with loading and sorting the pictures, it's more like 4 frames that build up the photo overview.

In addition I noticed that the battery is draining a bit more.

Does somebody experienced it as well?

And is there any "fix" to solve the laggy gallery for example?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiserSnorezay:
Gave my Z2 for repair at a local shop and they replaced the battery and reset the firmware to an older one - 17.A.2.0.25 (i think) running Kitkat. On the lockscreen there's a giant Power off button that doesn't go away, and I've traced it to com.sonyericsson.startupflagservice. I rooted and upgraded to Marshmallow, and now the lockscreen stays there and keeps popping back, preventing one from using the phone for anything. I've heard suggestions to use ES file explorer to delete this process, but I cant do anything with the damn screen getting in the way. Is there any other way to fix this?

How to turn your Jiake M8 (MT6580M quadcore processor, 512Mb memory and 2 Gb space) to an Jiake G8 with 8Gb space.

First you need a rooted device.

If your device isn't rooted download Kingo Root here : click

Go to settings > security and turn on Unknown sources.

Then go to settings > Developer options and turn on USB debugging.

Now take out the battery but let the phone connected to the PC.

Download this files :

* Jiake G8 Firmware ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/j8t8589u4df6ojj/Jiake_G8_MT6580.rar )

* 4 Files that you need to flash after the first flash ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/q4gba1zhs9xw47j/M8_Original_files.rar )

* SP Flash Tool at http://spflashtool.com/

Start up SP Flash Tool , select the scatter file inside the Jiake G8 firmware folder and choose "firmware update".

Now press the download button and put your battery in your phone.

Wait for a circle saying "Ok".

Try to start your phone : it won't :) You will hear startup sounds and you'll see al kind of stripes on the screen.

Now take your battery out again.

Restart SP Flash Tool and select the scatter file in the G8 firmware folder again.

Now deselect all execept : boot.img , lk.img , logo.img and recovery.img

If you have done that change the location of the files to the folder with the 4 files.

Choose again for firmware update and press download.

Now put your battery in your phone and let it flash and wait again for the circle with "ok".

Turn on your phone and see :)

Warning : do not try to replace the 4 files into the folder of the G8 firmware, for some strange reason it won't work !

I did try this with 2 phones and everything was ok, so why not helping other people ? :)

Password for the rar files : gammapooka

You need to download the latest stable or beta fastboot ROM from Xiaomi and flash it with the miflash utility with your phone in edl mode. My phone came from Banggood just like yours and it is working perfectly after flashing.

This will remove the RCS Service/ VoLTE Service icons that appear on the device after rooting.

Note: This requires ADB to be installed as well as knowledge of Push/Pull commands.

Step 1: Download Attached File.

Step 2: Type the following command

Step 3: Reboot

I will make a flashable zip when I have the time. For now this works just as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] psouza4:
(a) thank you! I can report success here. I'll post back if anything odd comes up, but so far so good.

(b) don't forget to mount system R/W in your instructions, either from the device or with "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system" or something

(c) I added a reference to this post in my how-to notes as one of the recommended next steps

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Argyrus:
This should work.

Put the file into your root folder of C:\adb

open up cmd and type

cd C:\adb

Copy and paste

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system

Then

adb push imsservice.apk /system/app/imsservice/imsservice.apk

I made a batch file.

http://d-h.st/U55Z

adb wait-for-device
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb push imsservice.apk /system/app/imsservice/imsservice.apk

Make sure to restart your phone after it's done pushing the apk.

Yeah I renamed the original file in /system/priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk to imsservice.apk.bak and copied it into /system/priv-app/imsservice and set permissions to 0644.

Woops sorry. I was browsing several threads and posted in the wrong section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] psouza4:
If you do it using the ADB push method, you won't have to set permissions (I didn't). On my Verizon Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V), on the most recent OTA, the file was definitely in /system/app YMMV, apparently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Binary100100:
Perhaps because this process gets completely disabled like the app was completely removed... because it just might be the case.
